Salad or Soup?
Regarding the last lecture on racism, I have some insights on the difference between Canada and America. While they both inarguably contain some degree of racism towards "non-Caucasians", Canada tends to be more unexpected and hypocritical whereas in America it has long been an issue publicly dealt with throughout history. Multicultural as Canada represents itself, in many parts-non-metropolitan in particular, of the nation racism towards non-Caucasians prevails. Also, in Canada, a person's social/economic status seems to have lesser effect of offsetting the fact that the person is a visual minority than in the U.S.
