Why Canadians Are Not Good People

i have never heard of the ICERD, but i will say that they have no idea what racism is and i suspect they are a bunch of pro-human tree huggers with no scientists on-board. under their definition i could hate my cousin for being born from my drunken uncle, and i'd be a racist. absurd.

definitions of words don't change. you can "modernize" it all you want, but the root is still there. it's the useage that changes, be it incorrectly or properly. in this case, misinformed and ignorant people elect to use the word racist because of its typical connotation, all while never even understanding the true meaning.

oh and for the record, i dislike canada for the canadians (duh). did you think i based my feelings on a patch of dirt or something?

last, a direct comment to you, stayintrue... seems likt you have a pretty low post count to swoop in and try to school all of us. maybe if you actually participated in the board instead of downloading from it i'd hold more stake in your stance.

ok you tell the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, which just to clarify is a group of educated people from all different countries of the world, that get together and write a definition that every country can agree with and tell them they are a bunch of idiots of even thinking up such a stupid idea.

OR

You can realize that hey, maybe these people from all around the world acually know what they are talking about and damn if i hate someone on the sole purpose of who or where they come from then yes, I am a racist.

and if you hate Canada because of Canadians, I hope you hate Canada a little more because of me.


Im not trying to school any body, it started off as defending my opinion, and trying to expand peoples limited views on racism.

I say someones post count has nothing to do with the accuracy and intelligence of what they have to say. And i really hope that you dont either, cuz that is pure ignorance at its best.

Thats ok, i dont expect you to get the smart-ass remarks.

And if you read, you would see i said it appears that you dont know anything about the orgins of the word 'anti-semitic' and how it relates to racism. I dont doubt your knowledge on French Canadian seperation nor did i question it at any time.

Read the modern definition of racism. If you look past the old definition of racism, you will find that Racism and Culture are very closely related. You really couldnt be more wrong

You speak too condescendingly for someone you can't decipher what I'm saying. Maybe you're just blinded by your ego.

What smartass remarks did you make? None, as far as I can see. What I was saying is that you don't understand that my "ignorant" comments are said in jest, and thus, you are not getting my smart-ass remarks.

Who doesn't know what semetic means? You're picking the wrong dude to question about intellect. That highlighted statement in my profile is not just because I'm a fan of the basketball team.

The theory that distinctive human characteristics and abilities are determined by race.

Those are two distinguished reference sources. Anyone can pull out some half-assed organization to support an extreme point of view.

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

race1
n.

1. A local geographic or global human population distinguished as a more or less distinct group by genetically transmitted physical characteristics.
2. A group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution: the German race.
3. A genealogical line; a lineage.
4. Humans considered as a group.

If you discriminate against any one that is different to you because of that difference, including homosexuals and disabled persons, you are being "racist". You're taught this in religious studies.

Wrong. They may teach it that way, but then they're teaching it wrong.


It appears the problem of faulty definitions is bigger than expected.

For one, "race" is a very shaky definition already. There is a myriad of ways, based on physical appearance, ethnicity, geographical location etc, in which race can be explained or elaborated upon. It's not even sure if there is something as really distinct races. However, the general concensus seems to be that race pertains to the physical build (generally based on the geography of the place of origin) of the human species.

And not to their sexual preference, current country in which they live, disabilities or peculiar birthmarks.

Anyone who says otherwise needs to look in the dictionary (a proper one at that).

Lol wow.. zOMG I'M NOT A HOMOPHOBE I'M A RACIST!!

prize, that 4th entry is a definition to the misnomer of people referring to the "human race" which any person with a basic knowledge of science would tell you that humankind is most certainly not a race.

 

[AmerikazMost]

[*]Humans considered as a group.

So if I suddenly decided to start taking it in the ass, I'd be of a new race?

I bet you all the people who watched Brokeback Mountain didn't realize that they were watching a social and scientific phenomena.

those ignorant comments (not talking about you) about french canadians are straight racism

you st00pid fuckin quebecqueer

ahh please we founded fuckin canada and now you bitches are saying we're not even part of it anymore. i always considered myself more canadian than quebecer. now if i'd be a separatist maybe you could say that, but i'm not.

truth of the matter is, nobody in canada considers quebecers as canadians,nobody in canada likes quebecers.Quebec is always excluded from everything other canadians participate in,such as contests and lotteries.Quebecers make me throw up when they try to speak english. i cut quebec out of my canadian map that i hang on my wall.

i suggest you save yourself further embarassment and head your way out of this thread.

You seem to be forgetting that racism has evolved since 1936. There are now different forms of racism, such as Cultural Racism.

Cultural Racism-value system that supports and allows discriminatory actions against racially and ethnoculturally marginalized communities. Ie. white privilege


Racism can be used to describe differences between race or ethnic background. Unless of course you want to reley on the 1936 definition. In that case we might as well take other definitions from that time and see if they apply in todays world.

Because of people like you,sometimes i feel ashamed to be canadian
