Despite its claim of itself to be "the only savior for minorities", they are doing more harm than good.
Martin and his lieutenants is actually self-imposed savior believing in nothing but their own superiority. Forcing or cheating other people to accept their ideology or their protection.
We visual minorities do NOT need a savior - we are not in anyway less capable of taking care of our own life, and we are in no way need a savior more than (no offense to any one) a "white male".
The real equality can only be reached when "minority" is no longer a feature of any group.
Yes, "non-exist" is the ultimate state of the concept "minority". Only by then "minority" can no longer be used to differentiate a group from the rest of Canadian.
A "minority's government" is a false advertised campaign slogan, rather than a real governing practice. Here is a super simplified example: there are 3 people, blue, green, and red; blue likes A; green likes B; red likes C; to be a "government for minorities", government chooses "A" since blue is minority. The problem is - green and red are also minority, but their desires are actually suppressed. Yes the government worked for 1/3 of the population, but worked against 2/3.
The truth is we minorities, pay the same rate of tax, live by the same law, and expected to be treated same way. We do not think we are in any way superior than or inferior to other people, hence we do not think we need any more or less rights than the rest of Canadian. And we DO NOT think any other groups should think they are superior and should have more rights.
OK, I am not saying that there is no racist or racial profiling anymore. My point is in a free world, since no one can control any other's mind, government has no way to "solve" this problem except grant some minority groups some superficial privilege. -- This may satisfy some "minority" group's temporary self-esteem, but will simply emphasis to everyone else that "this group is different". And when the government can grant them some privilege, it cannot force everyone treat everyone the same, hence further differentiation will commence.
The court is a good place to fight for rights, if the judges are not appointed by the government directly. Even they are, it is a better place for right claims. The government should only provide rules, and services that really treat EVERYONE EQUALLY.
How Martin worsen the problem?!
As a visual minority, I did experienced racial profiling and in some case, discrimination. It exists. However, I actually noticed in terms of rate, minorities give me more trouble than main stream Canadian.
(Well, this is not as serious as it sounds. Let's say among every 100 3rd and up generation Canadian I met, probably there is one bad potato; but among 100 new Canadian I met, there could be 3 to 5 not-so-good ones. So the majority of both new and born here Canadian are very good. It is just living in Canada, the standard is high. People do expect Canadians are 100% good.)
The government immigration policy actually worsens the problem because it did not attract people from all over the world in a good proportion. Let me explain with an hypo-theoretical example:
Blue country have a similar crime rate compare to Red country. However, Red country immigration policy says if you are a criminal of any other country, you can stay in Red country. Unfortunately, in Blue country, most people are not idiots, and so are the criminals, hence the Blue men in Red country has a much higher criminal rate thank to the Red country immigration policy.
People in Red country will think Blue men are more likely to commit crimes because what they see is consider rate, more Blue men commit crime. But the fact is Blue men over all have a very similar crime rate, it is just most Blue criminals have been attracted to Red country.
There are 6 billion people out there. No one can meet them all. We always form a feeling of a group of people based on our experience with that group. This is human nature and one of the abilities differentiates us from the rest of the animals, there is nothing wrong with it. The problem is when there are 6 billion people out there, we need to make sure we invite good people come to this country, despite their color, sex, religious, and other features.
If we do not attract criminals (from any origin), then the government will not create a false sense of higher criminal rate among some particular minority groups.
Yes, to make it clear, it is not that there is a higher crime rate in one particular minority group. But the government, invited more criminals than the average rate to this country, making people in this country see a higher rate of crime in that minority group.
Inviting more bad Blue people than good Blue people is how the government made things worse for minority groups.
The right thing to do is invite only good people no matter what race they are, what they believe. We do not need any Crime. We do not want to show our "superiority" by accepting criminals from other country. What we want is a harmonized society that welcome good people from any where. And we want to say proudly that any single one Canadian is good, no mater they came from, no mater what color they are, as long as they are Canadian.
Yes, minority is not "a different kind of Canadian". We are Canadian! In no way less or more, just exactly as every other our country man and woman.
Viva La Canada.
