I can certainly commisserate with you and would like to tell you how
lucky you are that you're even allowed to debate it.

Canada is "praised" as a multi-cultural "heaven on Earth" where everyone
can live together harmoniously regardless of their creed, religion or
skin colour.  This is total crap.  What it really means is that "whitey"
is an evil fiend who gets everything he has "real easy" and never has to
experience hardship in any form.  Furthermore, "whitey" must pay special
attention to everything that he says, does and thinks because he is 
to blame for the world's problems.  

"Whitey" must be careful to remain interested in the ancient histories of
the immigrant's country but the immigrant is invited to ignore "whitey's"
role in the building of the country he emigrated to (because "whitey" is
such a low-life).  "Whitey" must not take offense at people who invade his
workplace and speak foreign tongues he cannot understand.  He must instead
encourage this because he is a dirty rotten bugger.  "Whitey" must deny
at all times that other groups can be overtly racist -- only "whitey" is
capable of racism.  If "whitey" is to redeem his right to exist, he must
pay for the sins of his ancestors.  

"Whitey" must think about golf or something whenever he passes a female
who's religion ordains that she wear a cloth on her head and not show her
legs to anyone but her husband because this is such an admirable custom.
"Whitey" must be forced to give preferential treatment to those that,
despite all these measures, he mistreats and abuses because he is incur-
able.  

Basically, "whitey" must encourage the dark races so that they'll be 
lenient when they take over.

I don't buy this shit.  I treat everyone with the respect they deserve.
If they don't deserve respect, I don't give any.  I understand that the
US is predominantly a battle ground of white vs. black.  I lament this
tragedy but cannot blame the WASP.  I will never believe that the black
population is SO REPRESSED that they have to form racist Black
Associations (call it what you may) or make unreasonable demands of those
who's *ancestors* brought them into slavery.  What's always forgotten is
that it was "whitey's" ancestors who eventually abolished this same 
slavery.  Isn't a rethink of old racial definitions in order?

I don't think it is proper to fight racism with racism.  If we are to
live as brothers, we must learn to think as a collective mind.  There's
no point in forming stark divisions in society.  Every day, I see large
groups of Chinese, banding together.  I see large groups of Blacks,
banding together.  I see large groups of Sikhs, banding together.  The
same goes for every possible ethnic group, except whites.  Whites are
expected to belong to every single ethnic group and absorb these cultures
but not the other way around.  

I'm so sick of being treated like a criminal in the country I was born
(Canada) simply because I'm white.  Boil me a melting-pot.  This
"mosaic" garbage is a noble idea but is only a fine example of simple-
minded idealism.  That is, itself, a crime greater than anything Hitler
could have ever done.

Disclaimer: In anticipation of the hundreds of flames I'm about to 
receive, please note that I harbour no contempt for any race of 
human beings on Earth. It is Multiculturalism and it's premise that whites
are tainted with original sin at birth is something which makes it
difficult for me to be the friend of anyone who barricades themselves
into a particular ethnic/cultural enclave.
