Why do we have to give up our "Canadian"rights because of immigrants?

I am a proud non-denominational, 2nd generation Caucasian Canadian. I am NOT Racist or at least try VERY hard to be as open minded as possible to different situations. I try to put myself in other peoples shoes %26amp; look at situations from others point of view. I also have close relatives who are of different nationalities. I believe that all people have rights and freedoms that need to be respected. With that being said, I sometimes feel that MY rights are being trampled on. I can not say "Merry Christmas" as it may offend someone- we do not have Christmas tress- now they are "Holiday" trees. I can not become a teacher or a police officer because I am white, Canadian born, do not have a learning disability and because I'm female. However if I were of a minority race I would be able to pursue these careers. If I complain publicly I would be considered a racist, however other races can complain about their rights and its ok. WHY IS THIS? Why do immigrants have more rights than I???

Why do we have to give up our "Canadian"rights because of immigrants?
Let's see:





~~~~~


"I can not say 'Merry Christmas'"





Yes actually, you can.





~~~~~





"we do not have Christmas tress- now they are 'Holiday' trees"





Don't know about you, but I have a Christmas tree.





~~~~~


"I can not become a teacher or a police officer because I am white, Canadian born, do not have a learning disability and because I'm female."





Odd, seeing as how ALL of my teachers are white, and 4/5 of them are males. And although I've only been to the local police station four times, EVERY person I've seen there is white.

But on paper, yes, it is that way.





Oh, and the reason for your plight is explained in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Section 15 Subsections (1) and (2):





15. (1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.





(2) Subsection (1) does not preclude any law, program or activity that has as its object the amelioration of conditions of disadvantaged individuals or groups including those that are disadvantaged because of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability."








End quote!





It basically says: everyone is equal, unless you're a white male, in which case you're not worth much.





Then again, I live in what is probably the whitest town in Canada soo...
Reply:Huh? I don't care about Canada except when I'm looking for beer or bacon.





"2nd Generation" ROFL. Lower Slobovia kick out your grandfather?
Reply:I'm sorry to hear that. I don't think saying "Merry Christmas" is offensive and I'm not even a Christian. I'm a first generation American born of Asian descent. As a minority the only things that offend me would be if people did not accept me. So I guess we're kinda on the same road.





If you guys have affirmative action that grants minorities or immigrants special rights then that sucks. Even if I'm a minority this act does not help me get into schools easily since many people of my race do well in academics. So I have to compete against Whites and Asians while other minorities receive special passes for their blood.
Reply:WTF???

You are an american posting things to start something? whata are you trying to accomplis here?
