   So ten years of Trudy have left Canada the laughingstock among educated immigrants. They're leaving and we're stuck only attracting their lower idiot castes.

     @toiletpaper @sun @PNS The government is part of the problem.
     Immigrants are part of the problem.
     Indians are definitely also part of the problem.
     
     It is well founded racism against indians that's finally getting people to stand up and (I hope) be racist against all the rest of the motherfuckers that have been imported as well. Indians are just easy to point at as an example of the problem.

     Just because they're brown skinned doesn't mean they didn't import their racism with them when they came to the country.

     Until someone can point to some actual statistics that demonstrate it, I can only chalk up the recent finger pointing at Indian immigrants as ethnic/religious bigotry, much of which is being promoted by conservative media outlets ostensibly on the basis of Christian nationalism. Then there's the Khalistani angle which domestically speaking goes back to the Air India Flight 182 bombing in 1985. Muslims have been no less the beneficiaries of government programs, though a lot of it is sponsored by Aga Khan and the Saudi Royal family, etc with the intent of normalising Islamic ideology/politics globally.
     
     Our government (especially Liberals and their NDP butt buddies) is way more interested in virtue signalling than in doing their job of providing the services taxpayers are supposedly paying for. In my experience our government will lavish luxuries on any foreign group with their hand out if it would make them seem holier than thou for a photo-op, even while regular born and raised Canadians are forced out onto the streets in the hundreds of thousands, and with millions more struggling to shelter and feed themselves and their families.

     @toiletpaper @PNS To be clear it was a series of real problems they were having, they just tangentially assigned it to Indian immigration. I have zero interest in investigating it deeply myself, just adding an interesting data point that apparently even other brown people are blaming Indians, I really did not expect that. I just found an interesting parallel with the video in that they're highly skilled immigrants that are planning to leave Canada.

     @PNS I told this story on here once before but I can't find it.
     
     I was in Abu Dhabi a month ago and on a bus tour I met a Canadian Muslim couple. After some discussion about the upcoming US Presidential election the husband mentioned they were planning on leaving Canada after I think like 8 years. He stressed that he was not racist but that Canada was rapidly declining in correlation with the importation of tons of Indian immigrants that abuse the system in every possible way. They were really unhappy about it because they loved Canada but they didn't see it getting better only worse. And just to be clear, these were assimilated, highly educated, liberal, non-white Muslims. But they couldn't deny what was happening. And they had choices, so they were choosing to leave.

     If it's a choice of immigrant groups to point the finger at, the Indians will be the absolute last on my list. While living in Toronto I've lived in a predominantly Indian area (Gerrard & Coxwell) and also a Muslim area (East York / Danforth), and I can tell you I always felt welcome and well treated by the Indians, but like an unwelcome foreign interloper when interacting with the Muslims. With very few exceptions that's been my overwhelming experience any time I've interacted with either group. Also the Indian food is delicious and inexpensive, unlike most of the Muslim's food which tastes like char broiled dogshit. Can't say I appreciate either group's musical tastes. But if I have to live side-by-side with either one, I'll take the Indians by a long shot. They're also far less likely to want to behead me with a machete for practising my religion.
