They're part of our culture, we call ourselves a mosaic for a reason. I don't want a homogenized stale nothing culture, being multicultural is one of Canada's greatest strengths. You can take that "assimilate" garbage and shove it up your ass. I'd rather have immigrants who bring their own diverse cultures to our country than people like you stinking it up with racist talking points.
Diversity like not respecting women? There are a LOT of cultures that do not respect women. Doyou want that to be part of the mosaic too? I sure don't.
They can bring the good, but leave the bad.
See, that's the racism I'm talking about. The bad is you, not the immigrants. I'd gladly leave you behind.
Whatever. I'm sure you feel very secure in your snide dismissal.
I've witnessed it firsthand. I know plenty of women at my work whose quality of life has been degraded because of sexist immigrants harassing them. When I spoke up to them I was harassed in turn. There is a high turnover of new immigrant men at my work because they keep getting fired for harassing women.
I see immigrant men harassing women and showing sexist behavior that isn't okay in Canada. If saying I don't want that shit here is racist, then fine. I don't want that kind of misogynistic sexist asshole harassment behavior in my country.
You know what I've witnessed firsthand as a woman? A lot of racist dickheads like you harassing women. Especially immigrant women, though not limited to them. Y'all love to hide behind women when it's convenient for you to paint a group of people as villains, when in reality you couldn't give two shits about us when it doesn't benefit you.
Fuck off. I see what I see and I don't like it and it's not about their race it's about their behavior. If you want to call me names for that then fuck you.
Are you serious? They 100℅ treat women like shit.
I've seen way more immigrant haters harassing women than immigrants. If your issue really is people harassing women then whether they're an immigrant or not should be irrelevant.
Well get your ass otta Beeton ontario and see how it is in Scarborough
There’s a lot of Canadians i know who don’t respect women, too. They were born here. They’re already part of our mosaic. What’s your solution to that?
Oh boy you really need to read up on current events and history if you think Canada is some kind of femenist utopia
I'm not under any illusions there, but it's a lot better than India for example which is the largest immigrant group in my area.
I know how sexist rednecks and how many of them there are in small towns. And it's not okay either. But I see no reason to bring in more men with sexist attitudes.
Sexism is already a problem we're actively dealing with in Canadian society. We're going to keep dealing with it, immigrants or not, until it's no longer a problem (hopefully sooner than later). You're acting like we're just letting them be sexist when in your own examples they keep getting fired for their unacceptable behaviour. Eventually, everyone from "sexist immigrants" to "sexist rednecks" are going to learn what is and isn't accepted in Canadian society.
None of this rhetoric actually supports your racist, anti-immigrant attitude. We're neither importing a new problem, nor are we allowing immigrants to break our social contract without facing appropriate consequences.
You don't homoginzed don't come to northwest Scarborough. Its mostly Chinese.
Scarborough literally has a reputation for being multicultural.
If you consider indo-chinese multicultural, sure.
