Canada like Malaysia is multiracial.. Both are supposed to be democratic and Canada is the epitome of human rights, while Malaysia is where Malay muslim have rights.
Both countries have one thing in common. Classification of homosapiens. Created to make some superior and the others inferior.
In Malaysia.. You are Malay, Chinese,Indian and lain lain(others) .. The malays are superior, they are the sons of the soil. It doesn’t matter, if you are from Indonesia or from Mindano.. as long as the person is muslim, he will be a malay this generation or certainly the next generation. So malay = muslim=superior
In Canada.. There are Canadians and then there is Indo Canadian, Arab Canadian, etc
However There is another category that you would never see.under the Canadian group there wouldn’t be British Canadian, Swedish Canadian, Italian Canadian, etc
By virtue of albino skin, they come under caucasian category.. the superior group who can be classed under one category, because they look alike???
What does a Swede have in common with an Italian? Nothing.. But in Canada they are one..
Read the Vancouver sun.. few days ago main page subtitle is”Indo Canadian gangster.. Today in the paper there is an article of Arab Canadian.
Some how the crimes when committed by an ethnic group becomes more horrendous..hence we should let the world know about it. Beware of Indo- Canadians.. Beware of Arab Canadians..
oh by the way.. the white Canadians.. oh they are the paragon of virtue…They see no evil, hear no evil and do no evil..just like the barisan nasional..Hippocrites
When a person becomes a Canadian citizen, he/she becomes just that.. Canadian.. However the whites think, they should be held in awe and reverred.. because they are Canadians, and the rest are Indo Canadians and Arab Canadians.. etc..
and we talk about equal opportunities and racial integration..
Hi,
I’m a Singaporean who is applying for a visa to move over to Canada. It’s a sponsored visa with my BF of 2.5 years being the sponsor.
I have been reading your blog for quite some time now and would love to exchange emails with you with regards to your experiences living in Canada. 🙂
I’ve had similar discussions with my BF that sometimes get a lil heated but it’s all good and it’s enabled the two of us to understand each other’s cultural background. I’ve also shared your blog with my bf.
I am a blogger myself so jump on by to visit my blog @ http://www.xanga.com/kabluey . Or you can email me at thatter@hotmail.com

I wouldn’t say the white canadians are virtuous, everytie I look at the paper there are white criminals featured just the same.
Yet now there is this “politically correct” rule to everything. We call people of african descent, African-Americans for example instead of black people. I think some canadians use “indo-canadian” and terms like that not out of trying to descriminate but because they are afraid to offend by not recognizing a persons other culture. The media itself isn’t fair to anyone, not even white canadians, they always assume the worst and they encourage stereotyping and racism in my opinion. Not all Canadians feel the same way but we do have freedom of speech and therefore reporters can say what they want.
Also I point out you say you hate censoring in Malaysia but then argue over the freedom of a writer to say what he/she wishes when it may or may not be against your culture.
