Racism in the Region
#12
As a minority, I don't feel racism has increased all that much. Well, maybe the discourse on social media but the doom scrollers who sit on Twitter or Reddit all day getting into arguments aren't seeing the real world anyway.

If it has increased in any way lately, it's likely due to the extremely high immigration numbers and that has a lot of people upset, naturally so. Some of them are just expressing valid complaints (I mean we sure as hell can't handle the number of people coming here and we're seeing that...people renting blowup mattress "rooms" for hundreds a month...people walking around with resumes and going into every store they can with vain hope) and some are indeed legitimately racist. But is it actual racism? Have significant numbers of Canadians hate Indians all this time, and now have a "reason" to express that? Or any other people coming here? Or are people just frustrated by the shit show immigration policies and our higher education facilities?

If you want actual answers you have to poll large numbers of minority groups about their experiences.
