I didn’t say there’s no racism. I said it’s not so much of an issue that we make out to be. Racism at its core is stereotyping. The whites are xxx, the blacks are yyy, the Chinese are zzz and so on.

In China, it’s just taken as part of life. Lao-wai (old foreigner by literal translation) is racist by western definition, but it never stopped the public from using it. Why? Because it’s not meant in a defamatory way. It’s just how they call foreigners in general in colloquial settings.

We here in Canada, we make such a deal out of anything. Any slight disagreement is discriminatory by default. Why is that? Why can’t people learn to actually care about more important stuff and instead focusing on meaningless stuff just so that we are politically correct. People are having problems with paying their bills or getting proper health care. And yet our government and people is more interested in whether they are pronouncing a word politically correct.

In the end, it doesn’t concern me. I’m in a position that in the worst case scenario, I pack up the bags and go. I have 3 citizenships and 2 permanent residency status that gives me a lot of flexibilities. But it just saddens me that Canada has come to this. Where people and our government care more about their face than what’s actually good for people.
