Just think about it...
AN ETHNIC INDIAN! Running for American Presidency! Calling America to build a WALL to keep ILLEGAL Canadian and their drugs from entering USA.
What a time to be alive!
I hope Canadian and "those who more Canadian than Canada" will love the sweet taste of their own medicine they have been lately prescribing to international students etc.
Vivek is not a good representation of us though. He's another self-hating desi who denies global warming and medical science. Not to mention his ponzi scheme of a company.
There's some truth to what you wrote though. A good example -
Canadians happily work using TN on lower wages suppressing incomes for Americans, but then they complain about the same when any non-white immigrant group does that in Canada. Somehow the same policies that allow them work in another country(and get a citizenship/GC) shouldn't be followed back home?
- if you read the comments here, the responses were "they are not European immigrants", "they are third world migrants". Assuming that only white-skinned Europeans are cultured or that it is only them who are good immigrants is the definition of being ignorant.
Unfortunately, a large number of immigrants salivate on these pseudo-standards and start conveniently shitting on good things back home too. While we do see unfit immigrants land here and make things a little bad (Tony's example), I don't think the unnecessary hate on int'l students is justified anymore. Even the most hateful subs on subreddits are now accepting that everyone here is trapped.
I met a student last weekend during an event, she told me that
she wasn't even allowed to use the washroom at work for 4 days citing "city has banned" using washrooms. Being an immigrant, she couldn't protest, while the others used washroom right infront of her. That's the sad state of International student hate right now. And it is a good example of what really happens out there. For every 1 Mr Patel, there are 10 Canadians out there abusing them when it comes to housing, food, jobs, etc. I'd also point out that it is likely that 5/10 Canadians abusing them belong to our own Indian, Pakistani, ME, and other Asian diasporas too.
Canadians won't be able to look back on this blind hate and racism in future and deny everything, they won't be able to come out without zero shame here. Shortsighted people will view this with the current lens of hate/blame politics, but those who have observed the past will know that they'll be proven wrong and immature here.
