America is considered a melting pot where all become one and this causes some righteous indignation as culture is not something to be lost lightly. Canada is more like a tossed salad with parts all over the place but relatively whole to some degree. We have ethnic issues as well that underly much of our nation but I do not believe it is the same as it is in the United States. Sadly even a small portion of discrimination is by far too much and we have yet a long distance to travel before we can truly be free of that horror, if ever. Accepting is the greatest part of our troubles... we do not accept that it is happeneing here and turn a blind eye to it more often than not, especially if it is a distinctive minority with a tiny voice.
