Funny, it was you who mentioned that tidbit about "Chinese snaggers" and got called out on it by other members here. I suppose you could not have just said "Snaggers..." without the ethnic focus, eh?
Why not? Why not the ethnic focus? You afraid of it?
Suppressing the ethnic element is what builds racism and xenophobia. Just look back into our very own Canadian history and the attempts at assimilating our very own First Nations.
Oh an you mention my "good looks"? That's my wife's territory haha. I didn't think you looked at me that way as I'm a guy but whatever floats your boat Milo lol.
It was a humorous jab, but since you completely lack a sense of humour you didn't get it. "Far exceeds your good looks" means there is not really much to look at. But I agree, it is your wife's territory. My boat floats straight, thank you very much.
And glad you admitted at least your prejudice against former Yugoslavians. It's not easy to admit that sort of thing but perhaps in time you will chill out and look at everyone as Canadians first - not their ethnic background.
My frustration (NOT prejudice) is based on the fact that most of them cannot and will not see themselves as Canadians first. They left their land for a better life and now they complain about the land that has provided them with a safe haven and an opportunity to live a decent life and bring up their kids in peace and relative prosperity. But they only socialize in their own little secluded communities and worship the same gods they worshipped at home and look down at some of us who chose a different path (like marrying an Anglo-Saxon woman, for example). To all such people I say: "Go back where you came from and don't let the door kick you in the butt."
But what irks me the most is they continue to use fishing and hunting methods they practiced in the old country even though they know they are FORBIDDEN in Canada.
Milo: I bash any fisherman who disregards the resource regardless of their ethnicity, but I am especially vitriolic about those who come from my old country."
I say what I mean and mean what I say. You can keep quoting me for as long and as often as you want - at least I am quotable.
Trying to belittle my feelings about my former country is another story altogether. Just try to picture a man whose mother's people engaged in a bloody civil war against his father's people at a time when everybody had to choose a side. It is some tough $hit to overcome, but I think I did. I dislike everybody equally.
Perhaps you should fish more and post less?
This coming from someone who posts almost as much as I do?
