quebec racism

Awful, awful survey made by Quebecor network. They wanted to know more about racism in Quebec. So they figured out they should ask two racist questions (!!!).

Do you have a very good, good, bad or very bad opinion of the members of the following communities : Arab, Asian, Italian, Jewish, Latino, Black.

Generally, do you think that the members of the following communities are working more, as much or less than French Quebecers : Arab, Asian, Italian, Jewish, Latino, Black.

When you have an opinion about other communities as a whole, you are racist. Around me, I hear a lot more “they are” than “let’s not generalize”.

This “they” is a big problem. What’s the point of getting all these immigrants in if we can’t include them in a big “we” ? Do we need taxi drivers that bad ?

their war

Surfing in the Opinions sections of Yahoo news, I saw a strong title about Lebanon and Israel: It’s our war. Hum. Some columnist from some Washington’s magazine telling it’s the USA’s fault if this war occurred ? Right on. But why ? USA has been too weak and should bomb Iran and change political regimes there and in Syria (!!). Yeah, that’s exactly why this country faces so much hate around the World: too much weakness. It’s time to bomb them good. Why not a good nuking on Tehran ? They would see what it cost to play with nuclear technology.
