You live by the rules of the country you are in at the time, like those women who wear berkers (Can't spell that word) in schools, you should dress according to regulations. We have people of this country who are denied a simple necklace of the crucifix in the UK, but immigrants who feel they have the right, get it.
The statements stated are not racist, although they are just behind the borderline on annoyance.

It's not racism, it's homophobia. But gay marriage laws aside, I don't think how long a person has been in a country really effects how valid their opinion is, whatever their opinion may be. We can't very well say "right, well I was here first, so my opinion counts and yours doesn't". Of course, you feel more territorial over your home because you've always been there, but if someone else is living there, no matter how long they've been there for, anything that happens in that home effects them also, and thus their opinion is valid. However homophobic it may be.
My Opinion: It's the damn government who need to adapt. If you want or allow immigrants in your country, you really need to have rules set in stone on whether you want their culture in or not. It's that simple.
1. Turbans/helmets - That person is the one taking a risk driving without a helmet
2. Knives - It's a tool as well, not just a weapon.
3. RCMP - He wored the uniform, but not the hat. I really don't see the problem here. He has his own set of duties to be carried out while in that uniform, and he can do so, where's the problem?
But, I have to admit, Eggo had some really good points. The settlers never really abide by the laws, customs, and rules of the natural owners of the land ;p

OK, it's racist if you assume that all immigrants will behave in a certain way, and dislike all immigrants because of personal experience.
And is it really illegal to ride a motorbike without a helmet?
And do the Mounties really need the goddamn hat?
The kirpan issue I agree with you on. A compromise needs to be reached (everywhere). I think that since it's just a symbol, then a symbol of a knife should do, a wooden replica or something.
EDIT: It bothers me, the whole first nation thing. Why should it not belong to the animals? Mistakes were made. But current generation North Americans didn't fucking make them. It's just like blaming the German youth for the war, or all white folk for slavery.
I'm not saying it should be forgotten, but that's the way it is. Should we give England back to the Celts?

Well, at least he got out of it. I mean, it would kind of be bad if he kept on being married and "Cheated" on your mom. Good job for him.xxcloud417xx said:
Yes we get it. But again, how does applying 1400's - 1800's European violent colonization apply to how society and cultures merge today. I'm pretty sure the OP isn't asking questions about how to fight off an incoming culture that's attempting to conquer the lands with far more advanced weaponry.Eggo said:
Though that would be a totally more interesting subject:
Dear Escapist - Turians are invading Canada with laser rifles and robot horses. They're saying they discovered our land and taking it from us...WHAT SHOULD WE DO?!
This is another "OMG HOLOCAUST!!!" type thing.Eggo said:
I'll explain : A FEW Jewish people still complaining about the holocaust and are trying to get pitied for it still. I know actual Jewish people who are sick and tired of this kind of crap. The same thing now with Native people complaining that "you stole our land!" Listen mate, I wasn't around when your land was stolen, and neither were you, don't get personal about it. I'm making a thread that is about the here and now! get with it or gtfo.
It isnt as bad as the UK. Where they cant show TV ads with puppies, cause the muslims will be offended. Nor do yu have a Sharia court system.
Heck, some hadji sued the company he was working for cause they had him handle booze. he knew this when he got the job.
Thank the gods you live in a...relatively sane country man. If hadji doesnt want to follow the rules, then he goes without.
