So your statement that two thirds of immigrants came from Caucasian countries seems kind of strange. Also, of the top 10 only 4 are arguably Caucasian, presuming you use Iran as part of that group. The four together only add up to approximately 25k. Russia and Ukraine, from your list, would add about another 5k. That's it so far as Caucasian countries goes.

Is the line the Ural Mountains? Extend that line south and it includes all of Africa. What about Australia and New Zealand? Some of our English cousins would classify the French as non-white. No country has a monopoly on idiots. As Michael said, it doesn't matter where people come from. We are all basically the same. As for the author of the article in the OP, he or she should be grateful we even accept immigrants from Mother Russia. The real statistics show that the majority of new immigrants that are immigrating to Canada are coming from non western countries. All of our legal and illegal so called refugees are just about all non white. And this has been happening for several decades now thanks to the immigration policy changes that were made back in the 60's. You need to get your facts straightened out. Go to Immigration Canada website and check out the sources of where all of our new immigrants are immigrating from. it is all there for you to see and read. And who really knows as to how many of those new immigrants that are coming from some of those Caucasian countries are white or how many non whites are mixed in that batch? I don't know as to why MH would even bother to reply to this topic or any other topic here. He could not even muster up the words and say "Happy Canada Day" on one of my past new topics that I created. He won't even tell me as to why he thinks that Canada is so great. But hey, what more can I say. Edited July 20, 2019 by taxme Quote

There are Caucasians in the middle east, including Iran, but the whole area is a huge mix of peoples from throughout Eurasia due to various empires and conquests, including that of Ghengis Khan and his successors.

My problem with immigration is there are too many people in Canada. Wilderness is what has always defined us and we are losing it. We have to find a way to gradually reduce our population.

I have no problem with science when discussing scientific matters. We are not doing so. The use of Caucasian outside scientific discussions on things like skull sizes is archaic and used nowhere. If the police are searching for a Pakistani criminal they will not broadcast a description which says he is Caucasian since that would actually be deceptive.

Oh come on guys, Argus did not turn the term Caucasian from its geographic term to the white skinned reference as to how it was used and no pretending Pakistanis and Indians are Caucasian because of the Caucasian mountains is purile. Caucasian, negroid and mongoloid as we are all aware divided the world into 3 subjective constructs, white, black-brown and yellow. Argus was not alive when that was done. We are all aware of how the term Caucasian is used today in this thread. As for Marcus his playing that Pakistani or Indian only means related to a certain mountain region is as horse crap as the thread itself. Bottom line is what you look like, who you poke, your religion, your breast or penis size, your nose shape, your hair texture, your skin tone is only an issue for those with unresolved issues about their own identities. That said, who me tolerant? Bah. Canada is currently run by a bunch of castrated identity confused specimens prancing about pretending to be male and they sure as hell aint female either. No one can tell me Bill Morneau or Justin Trudeau are men or women. They hate both genders equally and walk like they got serious hemmeroids. As for the NDP leader he's campaigning now with a large enough to see knife slung around him to make sure everyone knows he's a Siehk not to mention his $2,500 Brooks brothers suit and $250 custom made and initialed shirt we all know he is a socialist. As for Mr. Rogers of the Conservative Party, the only thing missing is a wafer, a candle and some pervert ushering him into a dark corner after singing practice. There have I missed anyone? Oh yah the dummy from Quebec who left his national security confidential papers for his motor cycle girlfriend to read. There's a genius. No wonder syphilis is making a comeback. The only thing wrong with this nation is its obsession with being politically correct to the opposite extreme of Donald Trump's flatulence on the other extreme side.
