Canada is full of racists

No surprise given their local warlord likes to dress in racially offensive regalia

In regard to France, let's re-visit my first post in this thread:

I'm not surprised in the least by those results for Sweden either.

As a French man I can tell you that I come from a long line of racists. Happy to leave that trait off my restart of the family tree.

The entire western world (especially the anglosphere) was built on racism, so not surprising it's rampant. What is interesting is how it manifests so differently in different places (e.g. less personal racism in the US towards non-whites compared to Europe, but more state violence towards non-whites). 

 

I know in Canada's case, racism also takes two forms: international racism (against immigrants) and Indigenous racism. The former appears to be getting better and better (especially in terms of public attitudes towards increasing immigration, seeing it as a good thing, etc), while the latter remains horribly regressive.

I always remember this thread because it's one of the few times I actually put real effort and thought into posts!

Canada literally hired a racist to run our anti-racism strategy for our broadcast industry.  We're bad.

French Canadians are more racist than the French.  They don't even like white people who speak languages other than French.

I was going to say the French aren't racist and they just hate everyone that isn't French, but then I remembered that's racist.

Have you heard French folks talk about French Canadians and their brand of French?

Yes. I work with some recent immigrants from France as well. I thought it was mostly the Québécois accent that was weird, but they use a lot of different words/phrases too.

My uncle’s 2nd wife is from Paris, France and well, yeah to the above. They’ve been together like +25 years and I’m still not use to her.

[Anathema-]

I mean it's kind of crazy how fast the world went to demanding that everyone can live equally everywhere. Most people aren't caught up.

Which one

As a long time vagabond, I can't be arsed with metrics like this. putting racism on a sliding scale is like measuring the age of a person with a ruler. some places are more racist in rural areas. In others, the inverse is true. Plotting the graph on hireability is a cruel farce when violence rate can be just as brazen, but not causally. all this does is fuel populist cheerleading rather than produce introspection. Racism exists everywhere, in endless forms. I respect the USA's willingness for discourse, but not really moving the needle enough to counter the historical inertia. and the less I say about international  relations, the better. which this study seems to fail spectacularly.
