 Are you currently unemployed? According to the new Canadian citizenship guidebook for prospective immigrants, over 8.6% of unemployed Canadians are not fulfilling the Canadian responsibility of having a job, which now comes with the rights of having a Canadian citizenship.

The new Canadian citizenship guidebook was unveiled last week, redefining what it means to be Canadian. After all, new Canadian immigrants are more likely to be unemployed, which must mean—according to the authors of the guidebook—that their economic difficulties are a result of their failure adopt Canadian values. In addition, the new guidebook tells prospective immigrants, “Canada’s openness and generosity do not extend to barbaric cultural practices that tolerate spousal abuse, “honour killings,” female genital mutilation, or other gender-based violence.”

To the people who thought racism was a thing of the past and no longer exists in the 21st century.... you are dead wrong. Some of us probably live in the nicer places in the country with some good multicultural friends but the people in the next town/city may not be so friendly.

To all my other dearest Asian Brothers, Sisters, Families, Civil Rights Advocacy groups, Asian Activists in western countries. We know racism is very much alive and it comes in all shapes and forms in mainstream society.

While we continue to experience it's reoccurring unpleasantness and Deja Vu's, I am all convinced we are still living as second class citizens and are still sunjected to different forms of  racial oppression.

Ancient Taoist once believed the driving universal life principles are found in Yin and Yang, nature will seek neutrality and find balance between interchangeable opposing forces. Though my analogy might sound a little ancient in the philosophical works but you would eventually understand my point in our society at present.

New Jersey - "We wanted to do something more," said Se Ri Pak, the tour's best-known Korean player and winner of five major championships. "We want to do something for the community, and for Americans."

The LPGA Tour long has been considered one of the most ethnically diverse professional sports organizations on the planet. Once dominated by Americans and Europeans, nearly a quarter of its exempt players are now from South Korea.

Last year, three of the women's four majors, including the U.S. Open, were won by Asian players (the fourth was won by Mexican Lorena Ochoa). And of the 24 top players on the Rolex World Ranking list of female pros, half are Korean -- and only five are American.

Starting Thursday, golfers from 21 countries, including the United States and Puerto Rico, teed it up for the first three rounds of the 64th U.S. Women's Open in Bethlehem, Pa. Eight of the top 16 players going into Sunday's final round were Korean.

Despite all the anti-Chinese coverage my western media theres a country down that under thats a little more friendlier towards asians, it's not Australia but in fact their neighbour New Zealand.

A survey showed that NZ like asians! Not your average yellow feverish or asianphile types  we usually weed out but they legitimately like asians. NZ like most western countries also went through the xenophobic phases after the early europeans colonization. However unlike some of their western cousins their attitude seems to have changed since after imigration when a sizeable asian minority had represented themselves well and reputable in one of the key contributors for their economy. In other words, they are appreciated.

This is a great article, it talks about Xenophobic behaviors of the West very clearly. Please read if interested
