this is what we are fighting against.

until our gov focuses on helping US workers before the rest of the world, our fight will not stop.

Here's why this is racist. There are many Indian-Canadians...yet the meme seems to imply that the only Canadian in the photo is the white woman. For all I know, she's American.

The meme relies on bigoted, race-based assumptions to work. As a non-white American, I find stuff like this dangerous and terror inducing.[/quote]

It's not terror inducing for immigration and its consequences to be a matter of public discussion.  You look at that picture and think it's about race because the leftist brain stops computing once it hits skin deep. I look at that picture and think it is about immigration policies and the fact that most nations try to import people from a mix of regions in order to preserve the native culture and ensure assimilation of immigrants. That's the issue in Canada right now. They aren't opposed to Indians, they are opposed to the rate of immigration from one nation and its cultural consequences. And yes. Nations, including western ones, have a right to explicitly work to preserve their culture. [/quote]
On what are you basing the perception that it's about immigration? Plenty on Canadians look like the people in that picture.

I'm American,  born in Detroit,  and I look like the people in that picture. Yet somehow all the people who claim not to care about race, only immigration, assume i'm not American.  I wonder why.[/quote]

Stop being cute. The canadian population looked one way 20 years ago and a different way now. They didn't spontaneously turn Indian looking. They had a change in immigration policies that has brought in a 1000% increase in Indian immigrants since 2014. Okay, stop doing this "I don't see color" routine when it comes to immigration. We both look at this picture and know that it is all ethnically southwest Asian people and one ethnically white person and that it may have something to do with all the college age Indian males that have immigrated to Canada. All this garbage about race is just a way to dodge the fact that these policies suppress wages for the native population. [/quote]

White native Americans felt exactly the same as you do in the early part of the century when foreigners were migrating into the country at a rapid pace. Most of those foreigners were white as well but nativists STILL found ways to discriminate against them (“Irish need not apply” etc). It’s a story as old as this country.[/quote]

It looks like we've found a point of agreement: that cultures have inherent value and that its not only morally permissible for communities to protect their cultures, it's also morally REQUIRED for governments to do so. The native Americans were absolutely in the right to defend themselves and their territory. When they lost, they were 100% correct to negotiate sovereign territory and exempt themselves from laws rooted in culture like bans on hunting certain animals. They didn't do this because they hated the invaders for being white. I think you know that, even if you won't say it, that the native Americans weren't engaged in a race war. Not. Every. Thing. Is. Race. And using race like a shield to avoid discussion about the economics of immigration is pathetic. [/quote]
