WHO KNEW CANADIANS WERE SO RACIST:

Maclean’s is facing considerable criticism for an article suggesting that some top (white) Canadian students are avoiding certain universities for fear that they are “too Asian.” The article relies on quotations from anonymous white students saying things like: “The only people from our school who went to U of T were Asian. All the white kids go to Queen?s, Western and McGill.” (U of T refers to the University of Toronto, by any measure a top Canadian university.) The article also features some quotes from Asian students, who report on experiences such as this one at the University of British Columbia: ?At graduation a Canadian — i.e. ?white? — mother told me that I?m the reason her son didn?t get a space in university and that all the immigrants in the country are taking up university spots.”

I mean, they aren’t even Tea Partiers. . . .
