I hate it when they says things like the Canadian government needs to do this for first nations, build that for first nations, give first nations this bla bla bla blah.

I don't believe people should be living in poverty, but I ESPECIALLY do not believe that ANYTHING should be given to anyone based on race.

It's okay, Korben, it's not that heavy a thing. 2010 will be the year of the Inuit, 2011 is the year of the Cracker (looking forward to that), 2012 is the year of the Chink, 2013 is the year of the ******. 2014: year of the Jew. Yeah, this is a perfectly okay thing to have "race of the year".

NO more of that crap

I guess that went right over someone's head.

How about the year of the Scot? We sheep-stealin', rock-throwers need our perks too!

I was going to say something sympathetic to the Inuit untill I read this:

$1:

Simon noted that the income of an average Inuk is half that of non-aboriginal Canadians while the cost of living in the Arctic is three to four times higher than south of 60.

I think most people who don't own houses in Vancouver could also qualify for that too. In either case, I'm not sure that it's the government's fault to pay for people to live where they want.

That did not go over anyone's head slick. I find that to be an extremely offensive ethnic slur and racism in any form is not welcome here.

My post was an anti-racism post. My use of the word (as well as 'Chink' and 'Cracker') was in the service of fighting racism. That subtlety was clearly lost on you, pal.
