You know, I know many homegrown chinese. Not sons and daughters of recent immigrants, but their families have been here for 80 to 100 years+ ...
Try talk to them. You may learn something new.
My wife is 4th generation Chinese Canadian, her grandfather somehow got exempted from
head-tax. They were willing to pay the unfair tax because they wanted their children to
become Canadian. It is not always negative. I have been living in Canada for 32 years, yet
99% of the caucasian treat me fairly, especially the more educated ones.
I think we should debate this issue in another thread.
My wife's great grand parent had no regret, although he chose to be buried in China. My wife's grand parents lived happily here until their old age.
I surely cannot tolerate being treated second-class, actually I was given immigrant status without any effort. Head-Tax was wrong and the PM had formally apologized to Chinese community. It was an unfair imposed tax based on racial discrimination, however, it was the choice that the earlier immigrants had made, and they volunteered to pay.
Canada is no Utopia, but I chose to be Canadian; most of my 32 years in Canada has been comfortable though I'm distant from being rich.
