Okay then just don't go to Brampton. There are multiple parts of GTA where the population is more ethnically concentrated. Scarborough has more Srilankans etc.
There are areas with more Chinese community. And honestly these are the fastest growing and areas with best services because people there want to work hard, sell cheap, benefit and become rich. They do not want to raid countries and steal and then be so lost in everything they have without doing much and then losing it all because you had nothing left to do other than Drugs.
Compares ethnic concentration across GTA neighborhoods and argues immigrant communities drive economic growth and services, while contrasting with negative stereotypes.

India had experienced a very bad situation when Western nations invaded and treated natives as slaves, imposed the "Hindu tax" on Indians, for about 1000 years, till 1947. It is estimated that English rulers looted over £45 trillion worth of wealth from India, in addition to priceless artefacts, precious stones, and cultural treasures stolen, many of which remain in the British Museum to this day. India was subjected to foreign rule for nearly a thousand years, culminating in English colonial rule. During this time, countless Indians were enslaved, shackled, and forcibly transported to distant English colonies to work as indentured labourers under inhumane conditions. " Hindu tax ' was imposed on every Indian, and English rulers collected the tax on gunpoint for centuries. Those who did not have money were used as slaves in English households.
Ancient India, once a beacon of knowledge and wisdom, was known as a subcontinent of learning and prosperity, contributing up to 38% of the world’s GDP at its height. For centuries, Indians struggled for their freedom, drawing strength from the timeless values of truth and non-violence embedded in our culture.
The freedom movement, led through non-violent resistance, ultimately led to India's independence in 1947. However, the residual grip of colonial influence continued until around 1956. By the end of colonial rule, India’s sacred and ancient universities had been dismantled, and the country—once among the richest—was reduced to one of the poorest nations in the world. Widespread poverty, illiteracy, disease, social divisions, and national humiliation were the tragic legacies of foreign rule.
If might and brawn continue to justify exploitation, it must be confronted with truth, non-violent justice, and a collective call for accountability.
Extended historical comparison of India's colonial past to contextualize current Indian circumstances and justify immigration perspectives.

Really wish Pres Zelenskyy had the courage to treat Trump like this instead of caving. How cd he trust Trump who wants to help that murderous dictator instead of Ukraine?
