Bass-Invader said:as i said above, it's pretty obvious that she isn't referring to every chinese person ever.
Klubmasta Will said:the next post is about how hu jintau is worse than george bush.
SUNKIST said:shadyness of china? how bout the shadyness that is happen right here at home? how about the upwards of 500 aboriginals who are currently "missing"? How about the slavery that took place in canada?
i hate when people mask their racism in humanitarian missions. "those damn chinese have gone and enslaved people-those savages!"

glad you asked...and precisley the reason i brought it up. people can be so quick to jump on other countries and paint them as monsterous and barbarians (ugh) but rarely are aware of atrocities that happen within their own countries.Muad'ib said:what in the bloody fuck are you talking about?

there is an estimated 500 First Nations women reported missing in Canada, largely from our western Provinces.
Month after month for the past 15 years or so, flyers showing the faces of our women are being posted in native organizations. Yet there seems to be no record of these women vanishing.
There has been little, if any, media attention. When contacted, police detachments claim they have few if any First nations women reported missing or unsolved murders of First nations women in their jurisdiction.
there is even a petition for it online asking the government to do something about it:

Boss Hog said:Then maybe these 500 women weren't even reported missing, but instead someone just started a website.
Bass-Invader said:if we create employment quotas forcing companies to employ aboriginals these women wouldn't be missing.
