Last I head Whites were a minority in urban areas like the Greater Toronto Area. The issue to me is that we were not selective enough in our diversity. Mixing groups that have a history with each other like Hindus, Sikhs, Sunni and Shia is just setting the stage for sectarian violence in the future.

Salim Mansur agrees with me about one aspect of immigration, here he talks about the 'delectable lie' of multiculturalism
"The idea that all cultures are equal is an absurdity! Where does this idea come from? In five thousand years of history, no civilization has claimed all cultures are equal, because what would be the independent, objective standards by which one would make that claim?"

Liberal democracy, says Mansur, is the only culture to make this claim, and liberal democracy itself is a culture that had to be fought for and defended. "Liberal democracy is based on the idea of freedom and individual rights," explained Mansur. "And when you import the idea of multiculturalism, then you are placing an equal emphasis on group identity, or collectivism.
Did I mention that Mansur is a practising Muslim? In any event he has tried to tell the powers that be that they are fucking up. See this entry Close the borders to Muslim immigrants: Salim Mansur’s House of Commons testimony.

This is a direct link to what he said at the Parlimentary Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration so you can see for yourself.

Canada's white population is around 90%

The spadework was done over centuries by the Catlicks and Lutherans. The final push was not gradual, though. It didn't take very long at all for the Nazis to subvert morality to the point where genocide was so matter of fact.
When was genocide publicly discussed in Nazi Germany? It is one thing to assert that people were willfully ignorant or indifferent as the smoke was rising from the concentration camps. But there was no publicly stated policy of gassing people.

The next generation, maybe, but not subversion of people who had formed their morality before Hitler took power.
The gradual acceleration of persecution in Nazi Germany is a matter of public record.
goddamn 'nym wrote: Also the main avenue for immigration to Israel has been the Law of Return to which the DNA test applies. Things on your list like "being born in the British Mandate of Palestine prior to the creation of Israel" are obviously silly. There are many Palestinians in the refugee camps that still have the keys and deeds to their homes and keep insisting on their right to return for decades without success. Meanwhile some person with superior DNA has a "Right to return" to a place his/her family has never lived in. Don't you think this is an injustice?
ThreeFlangedJavis wrote:If you are talking about a race of people historically and maybe contemporarily persecuted on the basis of their race then it isn't really all that unreasonable to give them access to a homeland and being a tiny country means that they have to be selective. Of course there is some injustice in the plight of the Palestinians. However, the Palestinian leadership bears a lot of responsibility for the way that they have deliberately kept the exiles in camps and made it almost impossible for the Israelis to make concessions without serious risk. Not to mention that many of those Palestinians left Israel of their own volition because Arab radio broadcasts frightened them into fleeing with lies about Israeli atrocities during one of the Arab/Israeli wars (6 day effort, I think). It's an unfortunate fact (at least IMO) that righteousness has little bearing on policy once such conflicts are underway because there are enough bitter and hateful people to make coexistence very risky. When violence breaks out people are going to stick with their own out of fear even if it goes against their nature. Anyway, you could argue that the racial aspect is a response to widespread anti-semitism.
I am sure there are tons of "good reasons" why these individuals should be deprived of their homes. However Human Rights don't come with footnotes and they are not conditional on actions of political groups. You can check for yourself:

http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/
UDHR wrote: Article 9.
No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.
The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Palestinian_exodus was not a matter of 6 days btw.

Actually there is fear in some quarters that if things get too much worse down there we are facing the prospect of Americans fleeing into Canukistan in the first place, never mind granting free access.

Some of us are quite happy with things the way they are. We do not mind some tourists, and are quite happy to trade goods*, but the prospect of large numbers of American coming to live here full time is a frightening prospect.

* Actually the way this works is pretty much like any other 3rd world country. We export the raw materials, and import finished product. Most local manufacturing industry is done by "screwdriver", by assembling high value parts mainly made outside the country and mixed with low value parts made locally. Also, among other things, major and significant economic activity is centred around branch offices of multinationals which outnumber any local firms in scope and scale with some exceptions.

Always heart warming to see someone fight for racial purity. And like with everything Israel its also really high-tech, not like the old Aryan certificates.

But would Jews from antiquity actually pass? I thought these distinct genetic groups only developed once they settled as smaller groups outside Israel.
Is that true? Because if it, then we found someone that is more hypocritical than PeeZus & friends.

According to the 2011 National Household Survey, 81% of Canada are white. 3% First Nations, 4% South Asian, 3.7% Chinese, 2.7% Black.

Actually, from what I understand, Netanyahu is requiring DNA for "Birthright Israel" trips, which is an ALL EXPENSE PAID trip to Israel, including room and board, for the offspring of parents with a Jewish heritage. Tell me why that is unreasonable or racist?

Seems there are just as many conspiracy theorists here as skeptics, if not more.
Well as to whether or not it's unreasonable is down to context, but it seems to me objectively racist (even if it's relatively "benign") to say that members of one race are deserving of treatment that members of other races are not.
So, Israel should offer everyone in the world an all expense, free trip to Israel in order to not be racist? Okay.

I was going to say that if you don't stop talking all mean and hurty at people, you're going to get called a baboon, but that already happened.

you can also compare the demographics entries in Wikipedia and you get about the same thing. In terms of ethnic origin, Canada is pretty much honkieville, FAR more than the US, either in raw numbers or a percentage.

That's not good or bad, just a reflection of the history and heritage of both countries. Canada shares nothing resembling a border with any hispanic country, the US shares a rather large one with Mexico, and we're really close to many others. Getting to Canada by sea is limited based on season, while the US has a plethora of warm-water ports. The US jump-started its black population via Slavery, whereas Canada didn't.

There's a host of historical and cultural factors that play into this, and none of them speak badly of canada. Canada is predominately white as a country. That changes in different localities, but overall, yeah, honkies of the north.

But welcome to the baboons club. We have pie. Punkin' pie.

I should have specified, I am from rural Canada.

Our big cities are quite diverse - Vancouver, for example, has a large population of Asians.

Rural Canada is probably a lot like rural USA, I would assume - lots of ignorant white folk.
However, the U.S. is more ethnically diverse no matter how you slice it.

Canada's white population is around 90%, while the U.S. white population is around 67% (based on 2006 numbers). The only significant ethnic group in Canada are Asians, as you've mentioned, but really, nobody cares about them.
Wow... I think the Parti Quebecois would have a thing or two to say about white being a single ethnicity. The only way you get the US being only 67% white I bet is by continuing the fiction that hispanics aren't white. I imagine the us born hispanics are far more cuturally like the other whites than the french canadians are like the english canadians culturally.

My sense when I'm down in Toronto is that the population is about a quarter each of white, east asian, south asian and black.

We also, I think, have a larger first nations population than the us, and they're very diverse all on their own.

Duh. But it wasn't to kill them that Charlie Chaplin and his cronies instituted those laws in Tromania. It was to easily identify them, you see, so their right to be Jews could be preserved. Nobody is talking about gassing anyone in 1936, no! We're civilized people, we're just protecting everyone under the Reich's banner! Weel, except Jews, they cannot use the Reich's banners because they're really not Tromanians, but they'll have their rights respected. C'mon, it's Charlie Chaplin saying that, would you not trust Charlie Chaplin?

All those discriminatory laws can have bullshit defenses on the first draft, when "it's just to allow ______, not to kill people, no sire" it's the norm. Cue a couple of years later...

DISCLAIMER: The Nazis may not have been led by the real Charlie Chaplin, but by one of his impersonators.

Canada's 2006 census puts visible minority population at 5.3 million, between 15 and 20% of the population. As visible minority populations have been growing, this number would be higher today.

Is that the population, or the citizenry? There are a lot of recent imigrants (first generation) and not all of the landed imigrants ever take out citizenship and most of those are non white. This would be especially true of places like Toronto and Vancouver.

I'll go off and check the web site.

Yes, she is. I ignore a lot of her shit. Ever since I became aware of the 'pit, and what she was all about, I took everything she said with a grain of salt. However, she just wrote an article about how pro-lifers are absolute fuckheads for comparing abortion to the holocaust and slavery. IMO, it's common sense that abortion does not = genocide. ....
But from their point-of-view – fetuses having the rights of personhood – abortion qualifies as murder. In which case, and from that POV, “the 44 million abortions … performed globally each year” easily qualifies as genocide.

I don’t think that that premise, that assumption, holds all that much water, but, logically speaking, I don’t see that it is all that less tenable than the contrary position – both are, in effect, articles of faith. In such cases, I find the only way off the horns of the dilemma is to consider other factors, the social costs being, I think, the most important one. Sort of a case of triage – somewhat of a tragedy, but a necessary choice.

Canada's white population is around 90%, while the U.S. white population is around 67% (based on 2006 numbers). The only significant ethnic group in Canada are Asians, as you've mentioned, but really, nobody cares about them.
According to the 2011 National Household Survey, 81% of Canada are white. 3% First Nations, 4% South Asian, 3.7% Chinese, 2.7% Black.
According to the post I referenced though, Canada classifies their people differently than the U.S. Honestly, I'm not sure what the ramifications are, or why the two census' can't be compared accurately. Even in the link you provided, it does say the survey is voluntary and doesn't appear to ask about race. I guess Canada bases their minorities on where they are from. In the U.S., the census is mandatory, and we do ask about race. What does it all mean? I don't know. But the two countries compile their statistics differently.

But even if the survey you posted is accurate, it still supports the fact that the U.S. is much more racially diverse by comparison and that Asians are the most significant "visible minority" per the link you provided.

Matt has apparently found out about Silverman and the A+ Block Bot. But he's even more of a pussy confronting them than Silverman.

"By all means, block whoever you want for whatever reason, but please please please, stop using the A+ name and official banner! It makes me feel sad to support A+ and have you guys acting like jackbooted thugs."

At least he told them they should add him to the bot.

Hopefully Silverman asking uncomfortable questions about how many innocent people (innocent of being bigots, misogynists and harassers) are blocked by the BB will wake him up a bit on what they're all about. But they can always lie, and thus far that seems to be a viable strategy.
I added Dillahunty to the Silverman tweets and asked them, what else they need to see the issues with Atheism Plus. I alluded to Dillahunty's experience with the forum, where he got banned (officially for sock-puppetry). He then apparently woke up and realized that for most people A+ isn't the idea, but that forum and block bot, and then went on and made a series of tweets where he clarified his point (he likes the bullet points of A+ like many of do, but doesn't agree to bot and forum). Well, poor Matt.

It tells me he barely scratched the surface, since the bullet points are agreeable to many people in principle but everyone who interacted with A+ proponents knows, they are misleading — since the actual views are along the lines of 2nd wave Radical Feminism, modernized.

Today 502m citizens of the European Union have the right to freely travel to and take up residency in any other member state. I think we can make the world a less racially segregated place. But only if we at least try.

Wow... I think the Parti Quebecois would have a thing or two to say about white being a single ethnicity. The only way you get the US being only 67% white I bet is by continuing the fiction that hispanics aren't white.
Does Canada lump their "white Hispanics" in with the rest of the white folk?

Can you tell me which posts have my IP address? I'm curious. I do use two PC's and one sometimes doesn't automatically log in...but I watch for that. And the few times I've tried posting without being auto-logged in I have to answer a question. That clues me in that I didn't get automatically logged in.

I don't know for sure. The source I linked to claims, "[C]anada's remoteness from Spanish-speaking populations allows them to classify those with hispanic origin as originating from "Latin America", which makes it possible to specifically identify this demographic segment within the Canadian population."

So, I guess the answer is no, they don't lump them in with the rest of the whiteys.

[quote="goddamn 'nym"

Serbia has started the EU membership process. Croatia became the 28th member in the middle of this year. Bosnia and Herzegovina is working with the EU to prepare its membership application. Upon joining they are legally obliged to join the Schengen area. It is very likely that by 2020 there will be free movement, free residency and no border control between these countries.

While you ridicule the possibility of resolving seemingly intractable conflicts other people are getting shit done.[/quote]

We don't consider all white folks the same ethnicity, and we don't have a ethnicity of "white" at all. Yomamma kept going back and forth between ethnic and racial diversity so it was hard to follow.

Alrighty then.

So it makes no difference in this round of Name The Whitest Country then, JAB. Still, from what I read "white" Hispanics would only add about 8% to the total. Canada would still be whiter, even without lumping their "white" Hispanics in...

Actually there is fear in some quarters that if things get too much worse down there we are facing the prospect of Americans fleeing into Canukistan in the first place, never mind granting free access.


I well remember when lots of young Americans fled to Canada to avoid the draft. My family was one of those who offered rooms to fleeing draft dodgers. It felt good to do that, and we met some really wonderful people.

Are you seeing no difference between race and ethnicity? I don't understand your question. We have german canadians and english canadians and italian canadians and french canadians, for example, that I would say are mostly all white but different ethnicities. We also have lots of canadians that just think of themselves as english or french canadians due to language used and not much else differing them culturally. We also have racial lines that sometimes correspond and sometimes don't correspond to cultural lines. That's why not sticking to either racial or ethnic diversity was confusing.
