Straight out of Quebec too. English-Canadians have this rivalry with French-Canadians like none other. It's like some Hotel Rwanda shit without the killing cus we're a peaceful nation.

 

[THA_DAN]

^um? no.

the rivalry is inside quebec itself

 

[StayinTrue]

^um? no.

the rivalry is inside quebec itself

maybe so, but out here in Western Canada, i'd say theres some negative feelings towards french canadians. It all goes back to when they wanted to separate, so now the feeling is if they want to leave Canada so bad, Fuck em.

even tho for the most part that idea has past, from what i know.

^oh yeah and being forced to learn french in school - that really pissed me off.

There are still people who want to separate, because we have a different culture, etc.

But that's not everyone, I'm not separatist, and I hope that will never see the day, I love my country and many others among us do, elsewhere we would already be a country. I also say fuck em, but gotta live with it. This board is a joke, 2pac fought for sense of community, respect and diversity, those ignorant comments (not talking about you) about french canadians are straight racism, ethnocentricity or whatever bs you wanna call that, but hey ignorance is bliss.

 

[Dante]

danny, french canadians are not a race, so it cannot be racism.
your canadian schools have failed you.

 

[THA_DAN]

^ethnocentrism and ignorance are better words

 

[THA_DAN]

oh and btw, racism is not only about race but also about prejudice and discrimination, american schools fail too

Racism is inherently linked to racial beliefs, not to prejudice (a wholly different concept) and discrimination (which is merely distinguising between A and B).

The only reason a lot of such phrases are mixed is because 95% of the people don't know how to use them.

lol you are so wrong...

racism is a term first used in 1936 by a man named hirschfeld and uses the root of race, with the -ism referring to the act of discrimination based upon the root (race). therefore, your claim that racism as a practice or belief extends beyond race illustrates nothing but your own ignorance.

prejudice refers to the pre-judging of another person. this pre-judging can be good or bad, and despite your narrow interpretation, does not always pertain to race. for example, i pre-judge you as a poster to continuously flub when it comes to using the word racism.

discrimination refers to the act of regarding multiple things or people differently based upon their perceived dissimilarities. i discriminate the sky from the ground, for example.

let's start using the right terminology to try to defend ourselves, k? the word you're grasping for is nationalism. dante is a nationalist (someone who perceives differences between countries and therefore makes judgements based on these dissimilarities). dante thinks canada is a stupid place.

i'm glad i could supplement whatever it was you were supposed to have been taught in school about the aforementioned words.
