Wow. Wow, wow, wow, you're in need of a major history lesson, like how the British first basically committed genocide with the expulsion of the Acadia French, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expulsion_of_the_Acadians https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expulsion_of_the_Acadians, and then when they realized that was a collosal fuck up they explicitly put policies in place to not expel the rest of the French in Quebec and deliberately treat them as second class citizens.
- femiagbabiaka 2y agoWhere did the Acadians come from? Sounds like another immigrant enclave.
- 3vidence 2y agoAgain I think you might need to educate yourself on Canadian history. The French that founded Quebec where here predated the English that eventually founded the county of Upper / Lower Canada... You might have a misunderstanding of what the term immigrant means.
- femiagbabiaka 2y agoNo, I understand perfectly. The difference between your definition and mine is that your definition of immigrant is “anyone who is not white”.
- 3vidence 2y agoI'm not even sure how to respond to this... It is so ignorant of the definition I don't even know how to find common ground.
