your words are not written to offend but they do. and so are comments by other forumers entertained by you.
western countries do not favor whites. majority of immigrants to US and Canada come from Asia, South America and Eastern Europe. eastern Europeans are white but they are not favored. I would know that.
Look at our thread, most of the visas are being issued to Asian nationals. if I'm not mistaken first visa London issued was to a Pakistani national.
I agree, no race is immune from criminality. if Chicago (where I live) has its prisons filled with African-Americans and Latinos I would say it's only because they commit most of the crimes and not because our white mayor wants that. I believe it's possible in some areas but it is not a rule.
again, come to US, live here for few years and then preach me about it. a vacation spent here or a bunch online numbers give you zip.
it all depends on you, your work ethic, your ability to integrate, compromise and sacrifice.
yes, after reading the whole discussion again I still believe this discussion has carried in an offensive way.
Alex.
Like I said, the discussion was started because of a newspaper commentary. Read it.
You ask me to live in the US before I can preach to you.
Maybe you need to be black for you to understand racism and why many blacks end up in jail before you can preach to me.
If you see the discussion as offensive, its your problem. Not mine nor for those who contributed.
A while ago, we had a discussion like this about the opportunities available in Canada for whites and other minorities.
Wayne, who is as white as you, contributed constructively and even accepted that the advantages may be skewed towards whites.
He did not take offence and clearly did not see the discussion as racist.
If you see it that way, then it is unfortunate.
