NAME REMOVED Posted January 6 Report Posted January 6 5 minutes ago, Black Dog said: In the small-ish town where I grew up in the '80s there was like one South Asian family in town and they lived in an apartment block that became universally known as the "Paki Palace." I remember a column in a major city newspaper about a strike by cab drivers that used the same racial slur and said "it's not just the cabs that are yellow." Native, ch*nk and n***er jokes were everywhere including on the playground. It didn't matter that there were hardly any racialized people in our town; if anything, that made it easier for folks to be racist because they only had bigoted stereotypes to work with. This is of course the world that conservatives want us to return to. It was like this in Winnipeg too. My Dad grew up in an area that had a significant Jewish population, so I knew some things about Jews. In school, some kids used to call things "Jewish," if they thought something was cheap. However, that was nothing compared to the treatment of South Asians (mainly Hindi) people and Jamaicans. My neighbourhood was close to the University, and to this day, the suburb still has the highest percentage of Hindi's and Chinese. Most of the the Sikhs and Filipinos are on the other side of the city. This is why I don't trust PP. He is my age, and to say racism was manufactured, and started with Trudeau, is just insulting our intelligence. It's worse in rural areas, as I still recall living in Brooks, AB for a year. It was like the Canadian deep south, with areas that Somalis did not frequent, due to locals harassing them, and some areas respectable locals would not venture into, due to it being considered the "Somali" area.

No, there were actually strong chinese presences in many of the major metros such as they were at the time, and I recall reading a discussion about that very fact in the Hansard records from when John a was prime minister and they were debating the issue of whether or not " chiamen" (snicker) should be naturalized after short periods because many were just here to collect money and send it home and weren't invested in Canada so you were giving the vote to people with loyalties elsewhere, and an mp from ontario mentioned how there was a thriving community in his town and that he personally knew some who were excellent members of the community and business people who'd invested in Canada. Sure bc had the most. But not all. And it really doesn't matter. Your argument was that only whites were allowed, this is very clearly not true. And a tax is not a restriction, it's a tax. Anyone who paid the tax could come. Not a restriction. That's just utterly childish. The country is 150 years old. Your claim that 40 years is "half" is incorrect. I know math is hard but.... c'mon. Non whites were absolutely allowed, there were no restrictions they could come in in whatever numbers they wanted and frequently did. And the populations prove it. Your claim that non whites were 'not allowed' in canada is just silly and a perfect example of the woke left trying to rewrite history as fast as they can to fit an agenda and claim racism where it simply didn't exist.

NAME REMOVED Posted January 6 Report Posted January 6 (edited) 38 minutes ago, CdnFox said: No, there were actually strong chinese presences in many of the major metros such as they were at the time This is just untrue. For the first 100 years of Canada, the Chinese never accounted for more the 0.4% of the Canadian population. Nearly all Chinese were located in British Columbia. The peak percentage of Chinese in Canada, was 0.4% in 1921, when here were approximately 30,000 Chinese out of a population of 8.75 million Canadians. The vast majority were living in BC, while Toronto has only 1,000 Chinese in a city of over 520,000 people. 38 minutes ago, CdnFox said: And it really doesn't matter. Your argument was that only whites were allowed, this is very clearly not true. It pretty much was true from after World War 1 to the mid 1960s. Even Jews (who were considered White), were infamously excluded from seeking refuge in Canada, when they were escaping Nazi Germany. 38 minutes ago, CdnFox said: And a tax is not a restriction, it's a tax. Anyone who paid the tax could come. Not a restriction. That's just utterly childish. In 1902, the Liberal Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier appointed a Royal Commission on Chinese and Japanese Immigration, whose report stated that the Asians were "unfit for full citizenship ... obnoxious to a free community and dangerous to the state."[10] Following the Royal Commission's report, Parliament voted to increase the Chinese head tax to $500, which temporarily caused Chinese immigration to Canada to stop.[10] However, those Chinese wishing to go to Canada began to save up money to pay the head tax, which led to agitation, especially in British Columbia for the Dominion government to ban Asian immigration.[10] Between September 7–9, 1907, an anti-Asian pogrom took place in Vancouver. The Asiatic Exclusion League organised attacks against homes and businesses owned by Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Indian immigrants under the slogan "White Canada Forever!"; though no one was killed, much property damage was done and numerous Asian-Canadians were beaten. In 1923, the federal Liberal government of William Lyon Mackenzie King banned Chinese immigration with the passage of the Chinese Immigration Act of 1923, although numerous exemptions for businessmen, clergy, students and others did not end immigration entirely.[15] With this act, the Chinese received similar legal treatment to blacks before them who Canada also had specifically excluded from immigration on the basis of race. (This was formalised in 1911 by Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier who in Sub-section (c) of Section 38 of the Immigration Act called blacks "unsuitable" for Canada.) During the next 25 years, more and more laws against the Chinese were passed. 38 minutes ago, CdnFox said: Non whites were absolutely allowed, there were no restrictions they could come in in whatever numbers they wanted and frequently did. And the populations prove it. It was nearly impossible to emigrate to Canada for non-Whites until the 60s. The population proves this- under 1% of the population (Chinese, South Asians, Japanese, etc), were from Asia. Asians were not even allowed to vote in elections, until 1947, 38 minutes ago, CdnFox said: Your claim that non whites were 'not allowed' in canada is just silly and a perfect example of the woke left trying to rewrite history as fast as they can to fit an agenda and claim racism where it simply didn't exist.

For the first 100 years of Canada, the Chinese never accounted for more the 0.4% of the Canadian population. You literally posted it was 1 percent earlier. Seems you can't decide which lie you prefer. Tens of thousands of people is a significant amount of people. You can pretend otherwise to your heart's content but that won't change the facts. And none were turned away, if they wanted to come they could come. 22 minutes ago, DUI_Offender said: It pretty much was true from after World War 1 to the mid 1960s. Even Jews (who were considered White), were infamously excluded from seeking refuge in Canada, when they were escaping Nazi Germany. Not really. And again 40 years isn't all of canada's history up to recent times as was previously claimed. All you're doing is proving I was right. The statement was made that only europeans were allowed and I have absolutely proven and you have absolutely demonstrated that this was not true and that large numbers of other people came to Canada. You can argue about whether they represented a large or small part of the overall population but it doesn't matter, they came and they were absolutely allowed to stay here. And yes the liberals under Laurier and others did pass some pretty racist policies that persisted for a time involving blacks Asians and Jews but even then many were allowed in and those policies were rescinded. So to suggest that Canada had never allowed other people's in was wrong which is what I said and you have proven to be true Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

I am Groot Posted January 6 Report Posted January 6 Don't worry. We'll cure racism with an ever-growing number of mandatory 'acknowledgments' about how horrific and awful life in Canada is for anyone other than straight white males before every government meeting.

Anyway, don't think Toronto is different from every other local, regional or even provincial government (much less the feds) in that it's absolutely stuffed to the brim with woke bureaucrats filled with almost religious fervor about enforcing their virtue-signalling views on social justice.

Well, thanks to massive third world immigration, Asians and East Indians have pretty much started to takeover everything in Canada. More and more businesses in Canada are starting to appear less white and more non-white. There would probably be plenty more hundreds of thousands of those people if it were not for those laws enacted at that time in the past to keep them from immigrating to Canada. But thanks to multiculturalism and massive 3rd world people of color invasion happening in Canada since the 60's, the white people of color of Canada is slowly being changed and not for the good. Aren't the words "people of color" can only be seen as being racist words towards white people of color? Are white people not a people of color also? 🤔 Quote

The Immigration Act of 1910 expanded the list of prohibited immigrants further to include any race thought to be “unsuited to the climate or requirements of Canada” (IOW any non-white person).
