People need to accept the truth. Canada was doing well until it stopped being European only. Europeans of all cultures built successful, clean stable advanced nations. We then let in the rest and the country fell apart.

These are Punjabis who are closer to ethnic Pakistanis than Indians. Most of these punjabis aren't hindu, and don't like hindu. Don't associate them with Indians.

Indian drivers are the worst. They are always the ones aggressively swerving between lanes as if their tiny penis will fall off if another driver was in front of them.

Countries with massive populations should be at the bottom of the list for immigration. It's just common sense, we already have 1.5 BILLION indians, so why would we want them migrating in large numbers to other countries too?! The same applies to Africans. From a practical standpoint, White-majority nations should be protected from demographic change. We've benefited enormously from these countries, and any rational person would want them to stay as they are.
Comment frames immigration through explicit racial/ethnic hierarchy, asserting white-majority nations should be 'protected from demographic change,' combining demographic anxiety with identity-based exclusionary framing.
