We watched TV, caught some of the Stanley Cup playoffs. We spotted a fan wearing a Maple Leaf’s jersey, and that brought up the topic of chemical warfare…

But wait, there’s more:

Last Tuesday, the Thorncliffe branch of the Toronto Public Library reopened after a lengthy renovation…

Among the couple of hundred people waiting in line for the library reopening, I counted no blacks, no East Asians or Orientals, and three white people other than me…

The four whites were outnumbered 2:1 by women in full-body niqab (ethnic origin obviously indeterminate) and about 20:1 by women in hijab, mostly Southeast Asian or Indic or Arab…

A glorious multicultural mosaic? No, a glorious mosaic of a couple of cultures. An ethnic enclave, you might call it, or a ghetto, though Toronto thinks it’s too good for ghettos. Chinatown isn’t much different, nor is Rosedale. What’s the problem here? There is no problem here, apart from poverty and the concentration of same.

The problem is inside the library.
