Isn't it ironic that regardless of how some people end up in a certain place, they can never "do right" by the natives? Yet, when these self-same people have immigrants come to "their" country, they are welcomed with open arms and afforded (more often than not) more chances to advance themselves than "locals" get?
It's applicable to Canada in the very least, and this duality is disgusting. Before anyone starts screaming about economic imbalances and third-world countries, I'll simply say this: why can they not treat others in their country as they would expect to be treated themselves in another country?
If we went around and started turfing everyone that wasn't related to the party in power in blood or skintone, we'd be labelled Hitler's fan club members or Holocaust deniers. Yet when this happens, it's reported as trivial news and ignored?
No, I don't have any family in Zimbabwe. I just can't stand the apathy of the world some days.
