Incredibly unlikely, but we're still a ways out and who knows what could happen, and I'd be old enough to appreciate something like that happening this time around

I'm wondering if they have specific racist stereotypes about, say, Australians and Swedes and other types of white people or if they think we are all just loud smelly Americans who are only visiting/living in Japan because we love cartoons

A Korean buddy of mine left Japan because of the racism they faced being a mixed ethnicity couple. They moved to BOISE, IDAHO and prefer it there for those reasons. I don’t know if it’s less or more racist because people there would have no idea they were not the same ethnicity?

I thought this was nice, a step in the right direction at least

https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/mohawk-council-inks-deal-with-hydro-quebec-on-electricity-transmission-line-to-new-york

quote:

In a historic agreement that could serve as a template for future land deals, Hydro-Québec and the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake signed an accord Thursday that will make the Indigenous community a co-owner of a $1.1-billion transmission line exporting electricity to New York City.

It will be the first time Hydro-Québec shares ownership of its transmission infrastructure with a third party and a First Nation community. With the Crown corporation projecting it will run out of energy surpluses by 2027 and will need to build dams and wind farms on Indigenous lands to meet growing demand, the partnership is a sign of things to come, said Hydro-Québec CEO Michael Sabia.

“When I look into the future, one thing is crystal clear: the immense challenge of the energy transition will require creativity and open minds,” he said at the official signing of the project agreements in Kahnawake. “I hope this agreement will serve as an example of how we can work differently with other Indigenous partners across Quebec.”

Noting that historically, dealings with Hydro-Québec “have not been rosy,” Kahnawake Grand Chief Kahsennenhawe Sky-Deer said the community showed resilience in overcoming a painful past to provide for the future.

“This is a special moment in our history. In Kahnawake it resonates and echoes also because we know that self-determination, finding new ways forward, new ways to provide an economy for our people, is paramount,” she said. “For generations to come, this is something that we can be proud of.”

The partnership involves a 25-year deal first broached in 2021 for Hydro-Québec to provide an electricity transmission line to New York City, carrying enough energy — 1,250 MW — to power one million homes and reduce carbon emissions by 3.9 million tonnes annually, the equivalent of taking roughly 500,000 cars off the roads. The deal is expected to bring in roughly $1 billion a year to Quebec coffers.

in my experience many people aren't fans of second+ generation [ethnicity they belong to] immigrants usually because they have weird fetishistic :freeland: views of the home country (eg italians, irish, etc). my guess is anime and online cranks this to like 15.

It's *great* that the feds are flailing so badly right now that, at a time when some companies are exploring 4-day work weeks, they've decided that 6-day nonstop announcement binges starting on Sundays is the best way to convince the country that the government is on top of things doing the hard work for all Canadians.

Never mind loving over the weekends of everyone whose jobs revolve around what the feds do. Like me.

Ask your Asian friends about the racism they experience. They will tell you that everyone 1: thinks they are Chinese, and b: blames them for all the problems in Canada.

edit: Things are bad enough here by default that my white family members are really weird with my Korean family members, and it is so ingrained and natural that they think my Korean relatives are the problem.

lol compare a German university's Canadian Studies program to anything Canadians learn, even in university,

This is HMU in Munich:

Canada and Canadian Studies are an integral part of teaching and research. Special attention is paid to the historically transatlantic, but also continental interconnections of Canada and the relationship of Indigenous Peoples to the Canadian state, as well as the aftermath of this complex history on the politics, society, and culture of contemporary Canada.

The history of Canada must be understood by also looking at the history of France and Great Britain, at the history of the expansion of imperial powers into the so-called “New World,” and the conflicts that arose from it. To this day, the British monarch is the head of state of the country, which grants the francophone province of Québec special status as a "nation within a nation." Separatist tendencies and cultural conflicts continued to shape Anglo-Franco-Canadian coexistence in twentieth-century Canada. Research at the institute on this is incorporated into the course program for more advanced students.

At the same time, the history of Canada is a history of the oppression of Indigenous Peoples. The history of residential schools, but also of treaties, the question of land ownership and belonging, citizenship and Indigenous sovereignty are still central to Canadian politics, culture, literature, and society today. Especially in relation to Indigenous Peoples, Canada is often perceived as more advanced in terms of its commitment to reconciliation than the US. We discuss such notions in more advanced seminars, as well as the issue of environmental injustice, which links the country's conflicted history to the present. Doctoral students working on these issues in their dissertations are regularly involved in teaching and are thus able to report to students on their current research.

In addition, looking beyond Canada's southern border to the US allows students to understand the country's history not only from its European interconnections and the nation's and provinces' treatment of Indigenous Peoples, but also from its constant efforts to distinguish itself from the United States. From the American Revolution to the cultural policies of the 1920s/30s and the politics of multiculturalism that began in the 1970s to today's visual campaigns, the history, culture, and literature of the two nations are closely intertwined. From a Canadian perspective, the US has too often been the proverbial “elephant in the room.” In our seminars, we examine the bilateral relationship between the US and Canada, both politically and culturally, focusing on transfer processes. The history of Canada thus ultimately appears as multiply integrated, both in continental and transatlantic contexts, which have shaped and continue to shape the idea of the “nation of Canada,” but also contribute to illuminating it critically.
