Douglas Todd: Reducing immigration to protect culture is racism at
its finest:
White supremacy is seen as a product of white superiority,
ultimately leading to the sub cautious discrimination of ethnic minority
groups. These issues can combine to kindle great anger, hatred and division
between groups. Scholars coined the term: “White hegemony” in order to address the
rising issue of superiority that puts pressure towards inferior groups. This dominance
can be traced back since the beginning of time. Slavery, World war and
important agreements like the Sykes Picot agreement are all just several events
that had lead to the apparent cultural division today. This creates a sense of patriotism,
developing an allusion of dominance. With dominance, the White Man is able to
implement this motif of Euro centralization that puts pressure on other colored
groups. Groups coming from Latin are forced to reshape their thoughts
and belief system for the sake of conforming to the dominant race. Whether
these minority groups conform or not, the groups are still discriminated regardless
of their political, social and economic standpoint. This is due to the development
of division from the sub-cautious mind that creates this instant boundary. Such
subliminal bias does not happen in one night, rather, it is a constant
depiction of manipulative images that distort the way certain groups are
marginalized or depicted.
By tackling this issue peacefully through diplomatic clauses, we
will be able to use our first world power for the benefit of our nation, and
the diversification of our economy. Unfortunately, there is a distinct
correlation between issues like safety and crime with minority groups. This
means that this led to the establishment of immigration laws that have been politically
implemented by the Western government seems to raise tension.
A Vancouver-raised demographer has discovered that people of good
will or any intellectual from across the globe would have an identical
definition of Racism. The term is coined as: “Prejudice, discrimination, or
antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief
that ones race is more superior.” There
agreement should lead to often a balancing perspective in order to flourish the
coexistence of empowerment within ethnic minority groups, including: Mexicans
and Colombians. Fascinating research by Prof. Eric Kaufmann of the University
of London, Birkbeck, breaks new ground showing the harmonious ways people in 18
countries understand the hyper-charged term, racist.
With the federal Liberal government announcing they are attempting
to show support towards these minority ethnical groups in order to increase immigration
rates, they believe it is the “existence of both these cultures”, in order to
sustain such a effective yet, diverse community. This would fulfill the needs
and expectations of the West as a whole since this group would add value to not
only increasing employment rate, but also GDP and literacy rates. Most of these
minority groups have families to provide shelter and healthcare to, meaning addressing
this issue is like addressing two birds with one stone. Ending discrimination will
support our countries wealth and the minority group’s vast opportunities as
well.
His research grew out of an article by Brookings Institutions Shadi
Hamid, in which Hamid contend white “racial self-interest” as an effect on euro
centralization due to the suppression put against minority groups. This should
not be ignored, and should be considered as the key to our countries success
and sustainability. Ladies and gentlemen, do not fear the shadows of the
darkness that establish this ultimate ethnic division between on another. But
rather, face it with all the courage you have. Alas, this bias must be worn-out
in order to further end discriminations for the sake of weakening extreme white
nationalism.
As Kaufmanns research sheds light on immigration values conflicts
that are triggering the West, it is important to note the positive co-existence
of all ethnicities that we should champion. By doing so, we will be able to strive
to fulfill our socially politically motives like a freedom and equality.
Kaufmanns findings also might illuminate how Westerners should approach
immigration trends, such as those reveals last week in Census Canada, which
portrays how whites should not be considered a minority in the metropolises of
Toronto and Vancouver. For example just because another ethnic group is
expanding, does not mean that the white population has declined.
In a nutshell, the Kaufmann believes that people are considered
racist if they want less immigration for ethno cultural reasons.
