just like Obama's own grandmother did when he was little.. I guess while Obama will not disown his grandmother for a reason, a reason that our grand kids will share..it is totally understandable

Your passionate statement let me feel that movement is coming. My 2 cents: Multi-culture is rubbish compare with naturalization in states, new immigrants especially to those red immigrants supposed to be naturalized to mainstream value。。。

其实，我们大家都是red immigrants，这不是我们的错，但如果我们不认同主流价值观，以多元文化的为借口，死抱着过去的思维方式在这里生活，实在是活的悲哀，窃以为，让一个人在他/她不认同的社会中生活，是一种折磨，当然如果有mission on shoulders除外。。。

thats their own choice - they entitled their own choice, right? i think thats just a minor part in terms of demography - why you so concerned - hehehe, you are not really concerned, you are just annoyed ~~~~~

加拿大认同多元文化，尊重不同价值观。窃以为，你正在你不认同的社会中生活，莫非你有mission on shoulders？

a value system is an umbrella of all the things deemed right from wrong.there is always grey area where the line between right and wrong is blurred. as a society, we need a consistent value system that everyone agree and conform to it..

"I don't want to be one of "them". I am quite content with "us"... let me clarify: in my mind, there is no "them", there is only "us"..

主流价值还是存在的， There Is "them"，来到加拿大，要入乡随俗，随便一个例子，不要打老婆打孩子，在工作中不能以文化名义进行歧视和骚扰，这就是我也反对穆斯林妇女在公共场合蒙脸，支持政府立法揭去头巾的原因，这里是加拿大，你的文化不能和主力冲突

老猫也开始老生常谈了. 哈,观点很合我意. 爷现在高兴就是主流. 仅仅不认同一个观点, "someday, when our next generations grow up"华人已经好几代人了. 从这个角度来说,,我们不是华人的第一代.

well, so far i have not seen a figure head person from Chinese community that can stand up and say that statement while millions will listen and cheer..

To be honest, I don't think that is important. Who ever has the ability to lead the country and I will vote for him.

one is a fact; one is a feeling.. i don't see a conflict here..
-mikesmith(老猫);
2011-6-1(#6714644@0)
+1. Yes, the feeling is true,, but not necessarily "right". Maybe it’s an obstacle for "Chinese” to be standout here. I'd rather think it's kind of sadness feeling,the less, the better.

以前看星球大战就就想，the dark side的吸引力确实很大:Republic 效率太低，内耗太大；反而the empire看起来更美好。在看到那么多问题之后还保持positive不容易呀。Vader就是前车之鉴。

Star war is a good example--most of wise people invest in the positive side and put a lot of value in it:goodness, beauty, moral value...It is the best/ most efficient way to always stay in the positive side as most of men need a meaning in their life.If being in the dark side, failing means nothing left. Even a winner in the dark side can't get too much except the feeling of wining because no value is recognized.
Dictator Mao was a sad and sorrow mood in his last days, since he knew the best he could get was the worst emperor in Chinese history. Mao was a monstrous
manipulator of human weakness, which can be defined as being in the dark side.

支持老猫一下。positive 是正确的，negative 是错误的。看到好多反华 id 支持老猫，希望这些人看中国也多从 positive 方面看。
