@wolfram54321 Get lost. This is a video about Canada. Go find a video about race and antagonize people there. There are plenty of videos to choose from. Yes I am white. No I don't hate myself or my family. I'm proud to be me. I am extremely fed up with copy-paste racists though... you all say the same thing... no originality at all just regurgitated pablum hate.

@brgdhomg That's bull. I know a redheaded English speaking white woman who had a daughter with a French speaking Mi'kmaq man... it was this generation. Their daughter is about 18. Try getting out more. People blend. It happens.

Even inside Toronto, it's so divided. People from Woodbridge, North York, Etobicoke, Downtown, Lakeshore, Bloor West Village, Scarborough, York, they all hate each other. There are even little mini stereotypes, like; all people from Woodbridge are Italian, all North Yorkers are Jewish, all people from Etobicoke are White, 2.5 kids, and a dog. Don't even get me started on Jane and Finch.

@WhiteHussar83 Its so fucking true. When do you ever here places like Asia, Mid east, Africa, or SA need to be diversified? Never! Another perfect example is black people going around saying nigger or nigga are usually the ones to jump down a white guys throat if he says it I hate fucking morons like that.

[WhiteHussar83]

@shmigglemichiggins Yes, when people say they are anti-racist what they mean is

Asia for the Asians, Africa for the Africans, and

White countries for everybody and if you disagree you will be called an evilfacistnaziracistwhowantsto­killsixmillionjews and get fired from your job and charged with hate crimes.

The people who say this claim they are anti-racist.

what they really are is anti-white

anti-racism is a code-word for anti-white

we are pro-human being including pro-white!

[shmigglemichiggins]

@WhiteHussar83 Finally I see more people with this point of view. This is why I always tell people I'm not anti-racism I'm Pro Human Being.

@WhiteHussar83 That's just it, I agree with you that we need to have a discussion; this just isn't the way to do it.

It's a tough situation for our country because people are definitely too quick to throw out the "racist" label. I love Canada as a culture of diversity, but we as a people should be ashamed that we're using our immigration as a way of patching up a declining birthrate.

Part of the world has too many children, part has too few...I do see the problem with that.

@WhiteHussar83 wtf are you talking about...you are a re-fucking-tard
