In my 42 years of working a service job I encountered thousands of immigrants.....I always found the East Indian people to be the easiest to get along with......there are good and bad apples in every culture but in general I found them always willing to help , talk and laugh with me.......many of them joked how they could out cheap anyone......and you've got to give them credit for finding the loop holes to get ahead

People who leave the shelters do it because they don't follow the rules, not because of they are scared of the Africans. They get kicked out. Africans are called monkeys by people in the shelters. I have seen it and heard it. The amount of ignorance is amazing.

BS. The system was broken for a long time now. I remember living in Etobicoke ( a NW part of Toronto) on Dixon and Islington and seeing ‘black garbed madonnas ( in burkas) walking around with their husbands and a crowd of kids in the middle of the day. Lots and lots of them. Living off welfare and child support. Not looking for a job. Not at all. That was 1987. As I said - a long time. Just a little reminder: PM of Canada in 1987 was PC’s Brian Mulroney.
First-person account from 1987 making stereotypical claims about immigrant welfare dependency and religious dress, mixing anecdote with unverified generalizations.

My parents came here more than 20yrs ago. People have to move and adapt to standards. 1. Wear deo, pls. 2. Pray at facilities/home 3. Please stop being so loud in restaurants. 4. Your kids may not run around the restaurant. Tend to them yourself!! 5. Respect one another. This doesn't go out just for the majority, from one country. Today i met horrific British immigrants who let their 6kids run around the restaurant while they talk so loud from the top of their lungs. They made mess all around the table and did not clean any bit. Why do we get worse mannered people?!?
Draws on lived experience as immigrant family member to articulate behavioral/cultural adaptation expectations.

Brampton resident here. It’s a living nightmare. You know why our insurance is the highest in the country? Indians drive drunk. If you are white teenager you cannot find a job unless your last name is Patel or Singh. Most Indians are friendly and I don’t have a problem with them. They come to Brampton because in Punjab they have posters of Brampton on their travel agencies to be among their people. Now the guy on the bike, lmao. Thanks Tyler for making the bike guy our white ambassador. Brampton resident here. It’s a living nightmare. You know why our insurance is the highest in the country? Indians drive drunk.

Canadian that spent 16 years in Japan. I went as an individual. I stayed as an individual. Married a Japanese. Came back to Canada for a pension and can't wait to leave. I were in Japan and if I saw a group of Canadians arrive expecting Japan to change for them, I would have been severely pissed off with them. Every other country and normal immigrant that came as an individual or individual family probably thinks the same way I do. No one in any country likes to see "Mass Immigration" and even Japan these days are looking at an influx of half a million Indians and who knows how many more Africans. This will change Japan and they'll turn a good culture into their shitty culture and I'm not happy with that. I liked being one of few. Yes I had American, Canadian, Australian, Kiwi and British friends as well as Japanese friends. But we were all individuals that adopted the way of living in Japan into our everyday lives. If I go back, I don't want to be in india. It'd be like living in Brampton. What pisses me most is the attitude of that muslim guy. Yes you are out breeding us but not all majorities rule. In Malaysia, Malays rule despite being the smaller population. They have more Chinese and Indians there but they have to live under the rule of the native Malays. So you will have to do the same in Canada despite if your population is larger. You adapt to this country. The country doesn't convert to accomodate you. Individuals are key. Groups are the bane of all countries.
Extended first-person account of immigrant experience in Japan used to critique mass immigration policy and cultural assimilation expectations in Canada.

Very good speech from a true leader ! So sad that Trump is doing this to the best allies of the USA. Obviously, Putin does really have some compromising videos and info on Trump and he is manipulating him. Today, I am ashamed to have become an US citizen. Is this what the American Dream has become ? Isolationism from our best allies and sleeping with the enemy and dictators ?
Combines personal identity claim (US citizen expressing shame) with unsubstantiated conspiracy theory about Putin manipulating Trump.
