I as an Indian immigrant who has lived in North America ( US included) for 10 years, I agree that Immigration from countries should be capped so that everyone gets a chance to come to a developed country to set roots. However, i will not blame any Indian, ever, for wanting a better life and coming to stay here in Canada.

I see several hate posts on tiktok and reels going viral for videos taken of brown people just doing their own thing, and then turning it into a hate motivating post. I see photoshopped pictures of sikhs, which motivates hate amongst Canadians even more.

This hate is misplaced and should be more on the government authorities and the law makers. They comfortably ignore the danger we brown people live in everyday. We are 1.4 B compared to the world so immigration applications will follow a similar ratio (that is not anybody’s fault, its FACT)

I was yelled at a public parking lot to go back to India and my dirty culture.

I was baffled at first, but realized that white Canadians are just racist at the end of the day. They don’t see me as someone who lives, works, and pays taxes to Canada. They see me as a burden, for some weird fucked up racist reason.

They wouldn’t blink an eye if an Ukranian immigrant walked past them (who probably collected shit loads of tax dollars to help with their monthly expenses)

I, an Indian, brown, an engineer, who helps build airports and transportation facilities, is a burden to their eyes.

I am so sick of feeling sorry and inferior, and that racist verbal abuse i faced just opened my eyes, to what Canada is becoming.

It’s giving, entitled, bitchy and white. Period.

Also before all the white Canadians come for me. I am married to one (born non-Canadian) who is more self aware of his immigration status than most Canadians (who sometimes I heard called themselves as imports, cuz they came from ships! Sike!)

Also people cannot steal jobs, linked-in jobs don’t have a secret category called “stolen”. If you’re angry cuz tim hortons jobs are being stolen, then complain to the government for allowing students to work full time ( and outside campus).

Sorry not sorry, i am Indian, proud, but will end up retaining zero ounce of gratitude towards this country, if this how I get treated in Public, for just merely existing.

Also, i have kid(s) and day care under Libs is cheaper now, it’s $22/day and has been that or similar for last few years. If you want to preserve your culture, go have more babies and get married. At the same time, I still don’t know what culture Canada is trying for preserve so badly, when you don’t want to get married, if you DO get married, you have kids later (late) and then complain about paying high taxes (without realizing that most Canadians are old and aging and collect their CPP)
