It's a dog whistle for 'keeping Canada white'. There are a lot of racists in Canada.


This doesn’t work anymore.


Canada is one of the least racist countries in the world. Please travel.


Honestly so is the USA. Yes there is racism, more than I used to think, but it’s below average.

Not being racist is really a pretty modern idea that didn’t become popular anywhere until the last 50 years. For most of human history it was conventional wisdom that (whatever I am) is the obviously superior form of human. Statistically this is probably still what most living people think.

I mean of course whatever you are is the master race. Isn’t it obvious?


I've lived there. Bullshit.


What countries would you consider to not be racist? Canada is a functional pluralistic society. Yes there are racists here, but far fewer than elsewhere in my view.
