“I’m not racist, but”, “I don’t want to sound racist, but”, is what I’ve been hearing from some of my Canadian friends in recent conversations.
Growing up in Canada, our immigration policy was a source of pride. We had a robust system that made sure we took in highly educated immigrants from all over the world. I remember in high school, my math teacher had immigrated from Algeria, and had a PhD in computer science. Canada even welcomed a modest amount of refugees from oppressed countries, and I would hear stories from Uber drivers tell me how grateful they were to be in Canada.
The author wants you to know that frank discussion about immigration is a recent thing in his genteel circles.
That’s not the case on this blog or among it’s readers.
He encourages readers to be bold and speak freely about difficult subjects but perversely ends with a warning about the rise of populism which evidently should not be mentioned in polite company somehow overlooking that populism gave voice to the people most harmed by mass immigration.
The author resides in Texas. Why do I suspect the blog and it’s author are an AI fiction?
