Are you conscious about what you are saying?
So should a person be proud of his ethnic root depends on whether his native country has the same level of achievement economically and politically as the leading western countries such as Canada, US and Britain? If he is from Norway, it is cool and he can be proud of his root because Norway is a wealthy and free country. If he is from Iran, he is doomed that he should not be proud of his root because Iran is poor and ruled under dictatorship. Is this your stand according to what you said?
Why I am here in Canada? It is because I am lucky enough to live in the TODAY Canada but not the Canada 130 years ago when the Chinese did not even have a chance to because one of the Canadian. And also because of our ancestors who sacrificed their lives to fight for Canada in World War II when the Chinese were treated as second class citizen, the Chinese finally won the full citizenship in 1947.
Just because of the contribution and sacrifices our ancestors had made, I have a chance to live in a wealthy and free country. |
