re: #372 b_sharp

If you are from Canada, are you viewed as a immigrant, with all it’s stigma, by your neighbours? Just curious.

No, BUT I happen to have white skin and speak with (almost no) accent, so I’m sure that helps. If I had come from an Indian or Asian background, I’m sure things would be different.

It’s actually funny because a lot of times when we think of “immigrants” we think of uneducated people with thick accents running a convenience store or driving a taxi.

In truth, Immigrants come in all shapes sizes and colors and many of them are well educated and work in professional fields. We don’t all have accents either. :P
