Canada is no better. Our mainstream news is going on and on about "systemic 
racism".

Meanwhile, my daughter and I lived in a basement apartment and our upstairs 
neighbors had just arrived months before we did direct from Nigeria. We used 
to hang out all the time, their own child was roughly the same age as mine.

Never once did the subject of racism, victim-cards or oppression ever come up.
Their conversations were mostly about church group, and how the husband was 
working hard as a baggage handler at Toronto Pearson airport. The wife was 
mostly stay-at-home though I believe she was taking college courses.

Fast forward a couple years - He landed a promotion and they transferred to 
Edmonton, where last I heard they bought a huge house in the suburbs, have
two new cars, benefits/vacation/RRSP retirement fund, two new georgeous
children to their family and are extremely happy and well-off.
