Yet here’s a Sikh, saying in the newspaper what I’ve been writing here for years, all the while being called a “racist” by Bernie Farber.
Jeepers, he and the Lying Jackal better make sure this guy doesn’t get invited on TVO!
…”ethnicity” and “race” have become loaded words.
Amidst all this, it is ridiculous when politicians describe multiculturalism as a celebration of this country’s diversity. They hop from a Chinese festival to a Pakistani enclave party and call it a celebration of diversity. But has anyone seen one ethnic group join another to celebrate this diversity?
Some people could argue immigrant groups start assimilating into the mainstream only after their second or third generations. Yes, it happened in the case of earlier immigrants who came from the same ethnic and religious stock and got completely cut off from their ancestral lands.
But it has not happened with later immigrants who came from many different races and religions and are today wired 24-hours-a-day to their native lands thanks to the communication revolution. How much interaction do you see between the Chinese and the Indians, though both groups have been here for about a century?
