Which makes it even worse :bash:The weird thing is that there is no direct racism in this video...
A handful of situations in Calgary does not = CalgaryOne city in Canada does not = Canada.
I think it’s great that this new has been put in front of us.
I think Calgary might be going through a change in its social structure. I am not aware of how diverse Calgary’s population is, but I am guessing that it not as multicultural as Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver.
Either way, maybe Calgary is starting to realize that it’s no longer a monocultural society, but a multicultural society, and the first step in solving a problem is identifying it. In that sense, I am happy to see this.
I disagree with you on account of the city itself being responsible for bettering its reputation. While I do think Calgary can help itself by running initiatives to discourage racism, there's only so much a city can do. Not judging one by colour or religion is a choice that each Calgarian must make by his or herself. It's as simple - in the most relative way possible - as that.I never have been to Calgary, but I never have seen it marketed as a multicultural society.
There is a difference between having a multicultural society, and a society that has it and embraces it. In terms of Calgary, I really do not know… From what I hear though, its not good news. If this is not true, then the city should take some initiative to get a better rep.
or rather, there's a difference between a multicultural society and a mult-racial society, Calgary.I never have been to Calgary, but I never have seen it marketed as a multicultural society.
