[quote=AL32,246623]I will have to agree fully with you Chinagyrl. There is and there will always be a degree of discrimination in Canada like anywhere else; it's human nature. All I would add here is that it is when you compare that you find that Canada as come a long way and is far ahead of many other countries. Also, regarding what have been said in this thread before, just remember that Canada -has we know it- is only about 400 years old and very largely composed and growing from immigration since only less than a 100 years (I would even push this to 30-50years)...so compare to the intrinsic centuries old moral values of Chinese...one can easily understand that some ethnic 'frictions' will remain and that national identity is not that deep into the blood of Canadians.

If you would look at what is going on in schools today, you would see that the descrimation you were once victim of is certainly less present. At least, if a Chinese girl you be victim of caucasian Canadians, I bet that many of her classmates, Canadians, Ethiopians, South americans.... ..... would quickly be on her side and fight the injustice.

Afterall, I believe that history is a very important thing and deep and honnest moral values are the very thing that make each of us what we are. Nationality is just another word that we need to use to give us a sentiment of 'appartenance' [sorry only this french word comes to my mind..] and should not be what defines us. We all are citizens of the world and the world is now smaller than ever. What is different, what is unknown is what scare people and make them react badly.Let's all share our respective cultures toghether and the whole world will just be a better one.
