How staggeringly ignorant must a person be to think that Quebecers are a “race”. The black Haitians, or the brown Moroccans, who immigrated to Montreal are Quebecers too. Join the multicultural 21st century already and suck it up.

Ever heard of the durham report? Ever read a history book? You are the one being racist for years towards quebecois. Your university is practicing what we call here “deux poids, deux mesures”.

The fact of the matter is that anyone who makes blanket statements about national/ethnic groups (be they Quebeckers, Jews or Iranian-Americans) is a bigot. So you are a bigot, and I've heard many Anglos say this as well. Enjoy your bigotry.

You read too quickly... I said NATIONAL or ethnic group. So before accusing anyone of ignorance, I would check the prescription on your reading glasses.

You said that Quebec is the Alabama of the North. What did you mean by that then? That Quebec as a whole is racist, or the people of Quebec, or what? Everyone is reading this as meaning the Quebecois are a racist nation. If that's not the case, you need to clarify.

You are backtracking now. You never ONCE mentioned that your attack was against the government. You clearly said nation, several times. Now changing your message when you realized it was confusing, and misleading.

...a language to another that's the problem. At the bottom line, we talk about the same thing. In DISTINC SOCIETY, the word Distinc means in FRENCH like "DIFFERENT" in English, not "GRATER". Well in FRENCH "systemic" means like "ORGANIZED" and that's wy there's a problem.(2/2)
