WOW!
I am so happy to see all this debate being generated, it's great! I still believe in what I had to say. Nowhere in my post did I say that life in Canada is sunshine and roses, we have our fair share of racism, and its sad, even our political parties say racist things, but we are NOT more racist. Knowing two people here, you have no more credibility than I do. I would have to say we have less "issues" than you do. So let me say that I believe that Americans in general are not racist, but that the Frat system is discriminatory, as I have come across fliers from the national offices of sororities that are explain "Why it is beneficial to rush minorities" sorry, but there is something wrong with this picture. Oh and Zchi4Life, trust me I know why such frats (African AM, Latino/a etc) are in existance, could it be segregation? Canada had that too, and we have our "Black" and "Jewish" frats , by the way, we have Alpha Phi Alpha , Alpha Kappa Alpha, Alpha Omega, Alpha Epsilon Pi and a local Delta Pi just to name a few. Never in my post did I say we did not have these kinds of frats and sororities
I do have cousins who live in the states and I have visited the states on two occasions, at which time i visited universities and their fraternity system, so i have witnessed it first hand. That doesn't make me an expert, but it did teach me something. As for OoohTeenyWahine, I know there are mulitcultural frats, I went to my sororities convention and I saw all the different people, so I know that some sororities don't see themselves as "white". So I should rephrase what I said: I can not believe that there are still some Americans who see nothing wrong with a "white" frat or sorority. BTW I do like the states, it is a nice country, visited Texas and Washington DC. There are some very nice people, I have never had any problems, just a couple of laughs when people asked me if I lived in an igloo and where I learnt how to speak English so well!
I love the way you fought for your country against the British, I just don't like some of the things that your country promotes, I am entitled to my opinion, and I will speak it.
