If u go to smaller cities away from the metros or to country towns they are overwhelmingly still white For example this weekend I'm down in Chatham to visit my wife's parents (a city of just over 100,000) and just based on what I see if have to say POC here are 10% at most But yeah the numbers will only keep growing cuz our immigration rate is almost 1% of our population every year and most of it from non white countries and since natural birth rates are low... I'm not surprised the Country is expected to de-whitefy so quickly And I think south Asian is the correct term? I know about 44% of my cities Population is Indian (by far the biggest background) but there's certainly a significant portion of Pakistani, Jamaican, Trinidadian as well The majority of whites in my city are either Portuguese (like me), or Italian but most under 50 to 60 of Portuguese and Italians were already born in Canada so they are not immigrants, their parents or grandparents are Honestly I am so fascinated by this. For a country to have such huge yearly growth is interesting but deff positive as you stated. Plus Canada is such a vast nation yet has a relatively small population. Though most will be concentrated in major cities I'm sure immigration populations will eventually spread out a bit more. Cannot wait to observe this transformation over time in our lifetimes too!

Yeah... Our population growth this last year was something like 1.6% which was the highest in several decades and pretty much unheard of in the developed world... I think only Australia as far as I'm aware has a growth rate close to that I'm also curious to see if the diversity eventually spreads or stays concentrated Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary metro areas hold most of the diversity... And most immigrants kind of perfer to keep settling in those metros too Montreal is probably the most white of the big metros and given Quebec is increasingly hostile against immigration (and they have special autonomy) it's likely Montreal of the big cities will remain predominantly white for sometime to come even tho it does have some degree of diversity Based on current patterns, I would imagine small towns, medium sized cities far from metros and Provinces like Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the Eastern Provinces in Atlantic will continue to stay mostly white... While the metros continue to get more and more diverse Canada may be a large Country but 3 out of 10 Provinces (Ontario, BC and Alberta) make up almost all of our population growth and a handful of big cities as well. Quebec our 2nd most populated Province is actually flatlining The majority of our Country is actually stalling with some Provinces even shrinking Given the big population growth continues in specific pockets that are already dense to begin with I suspect Canada will remain a vast empty forest for the foreseeable future Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATCAT 60,899 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I'm excited for Majority Minorities & I honestly think that they'll help democracies to spur new leaps and bounds of equality. Sure, the transition is always rough, but it'll be worth it in the end. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But oh well, white people are already a minority anyway worldwide, so they might as well just be minorities in their own countries. I just fear, that this is gonna somehow fuel the already growing hate towards white people. Hate in where exactly? Twitter...? There has been far less hate crimes toward white people in the past decade (or two) than to "non-white people" this year alone. How can you then explain why majority of far-right/racist/new nazis etc are mostly... white? If anything, the hate towards POC are growing in alarming rate, especially in Europe/USA.

Lilmonzter 2,864 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2018/04/race-genetics-science-africa/ It's an interesting article on the lack of scientific inquiry in the topics of race It is a 12 minute read. Some excerpts There’s No Scientific Basis for Race—It's a Made-Up Label IN THE FIRST half of the 19th century, one of America’s most prominent scientists was a doctor named Samuel Morton. Morton lived in Philadelphia, and he collected skulls. Morton believed that people could be divided into five races and that these represented separate acts of creation. In the decades before the Civil War, Morton’s ideas were quickly taken up by the defenders of slavery. Today Morton is known as the father of scientific racism. So many of the horrors of the past few centuries can be traced to the idea that one race is inferior to another that a tour of his collection is a haunting experience. To an uncomfortable degree we still live with Morton’s legacy: Racial distinctions continue to shape our politics, our neighborhoods, and our sense of self. In June 2000, when the results were announced at a White House ceremony, Craig Venter, a pioneer of DNA sequencing, observed, “The concept of race has no genetic or scientific basis.” In a very real sense, all people alive today are Africans.Our species, Homo sapiens, evolved in Africa—no one is sure of the exact time or place Sing C'est la vie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
