The lesson to learn here is that everyone now has a video camera in their pocket. If you’re white, and in particular a white male, be careful what you say. Unlike the states,We have no freedom of speech in Canada. You can be charged and prosecuted for “hate speech “ or be forced in front of a human rights tribunal and be found guilty and fined tens of thousands of dollars for merely stating what you think is your opinion.
Persons of colour and particularly muslims now know that they can say and do whatever they want, and should a white person say anything about it, a quick claim of racism is all it takes to have you investigated, possibly charged with a hate crime and probably fired by a cowardly employer who values being politically correct over keeping their employees.
Personally, I can make it known just by looking at someone that I’m displeased with them for whatever reason. I have been accosted several times by people who didn’t like the way I looked at them. They find out quickly that I have no interest in anything that they have to say and that they should shut their mouth.
As for businesses that fire their employees for unrelated activities, I can understand it if their employee was charged with a criminal or moral offence. For something like the woman in Lethbridge, I think terminating her was an overreaction. I’ve emailed the employer in cranbrook and told them what I thought and that I and any family and friends will make a point of not doing business with them. I’m sure they don’t care, but at least they get the message that political correctness and cowardice potentially have a cost.

I guess being a white male I won't have to worry about being in this situation as I was taught different values in life compared to this woman. But you do have a point about losing her job not sure of the connection unless there are previous reasons as I mentioned in my previous comment.

Sikh or Muslim they’re all the same they all believe in the kuran and they say kill the infadels, I don’t really care either way, just like how you cherry picked my post never commented on the other stuff, and if push comes to shove, I doubt they’d fight for our country, I had uncles fight in the wars, and for what!? Just for them to live on the streets, while the refugees move into houses better than what I’m in!? You look at them wrong and your called a racist, a van drive takes out people on a street and he’s called mental, not a terroist, it’s funny how they spin everything around for themselves, and you want a loving country, we’ll see how good it is when the sharia law gets brought in,

well fyi, my uncle was in a tank in Egypt when a German threw a grenade in the tank and it was a Sikh who pulled him out of the tank and saved his life so whatever as I am not going to waste my time arguing this with you. Have a nice day.

Oh i am sure that camera was set up a head of time and was directed right at her then they provoke her into a conflict. They knew the camera was on a rolling. Nice to know ahead of time what people are capable of in today society.

SIKH'S ARE KINDA ENEMIES OF MUSLIM/ISLAM IN DAYS OF OLD, AND THEY STILL AREN'T FUSSY ABOUT EACH OTHER.

"A reality:
[FONT="q_serif"]Well Sikhs are not suppose to hate any one but they do unfortunately hate muslims due to the persecution by mughals of their Gurus and people.Sikh religion was created to protect Hindus from forceful conversion to Islam according to [/FONT]History of Sikhism[FONT="q_serif"] .they were afraid of rebellion Sikhs , who were reluctant to convert to Islam, which was a smart move on their part.[/FONT]
later
[FONT="q_serif"] indira gandhi (being a muslim again) was resposible for death of thousands of [/FONT]
Sikhs
[FONT="q_serif"] in retaliatory violence . "[/FONT]

Every person regardless of color is to some extent inherently racist. There are a few threads on this site that can highlight my point. The problem comes in is how far a person or group takes it. In my opinion hate and racism can be different although it's a fairly thin line.

Many here have stated how fed up they are with immigration or natives or whatever other group. Had she been sober she probably wouldn't have said anything but more often then not clouded feelings come out after heavy drinking

The woman is a piece of work. Imo if you have an issue with someone state your piece respectfully and move on. To bring race, color, wealth, language or whatever into the confrontation is not acceptable.

This is the uneducated crap that causes way to many confrontations. You are condemning a group people who you know nothing about. Sounds a lot like the Nazis hey?

hey Tom, this is the way I see it. I don't care what colour, language, religion you are you get my "friendship" if you are a good person with family and social values that are in line with my own. If you are a dick and happen to be dark coloured then I have no room for you in my life. Here in the Okanagan we see white trash all day long with crack heads, thieves etc etc so I will take a honest hard working hindu, muslim, Japanese, Chinese and anything in between all day long over these losers who have costed my wife's business thousands everytime they break in her business for a quarter. Unfortunately, our politicians have made a mess of the immigration policy for many many years and allowed them to make up their own rules like they have in the old country just to get their votes. If I were one of them and wanted special privileges and in return my local politician wants my vote, hey why not. BUT, this is where the backlash comes and unfortunately it causes friction and rightfully so. When in Rome live likes the Romans do.

Just because he’s uneducated about the difference between sikhs and muslims doesn’t make him a nazi, just ignorant of the facts. If you want to draw a parallel, radical Islam shares many things with nazism in that they both have no problem with eradicating people that don’t fit their ideals. It’s interesting how progressive leftists call anyone who disagrees with their beliefs and agendas nazis.

I totally agree Denis but you must admit myself included we are all guilty of the stereotype racism at some point.

Naturally I just assume all Asians know kunfu

You bet we are all guilty of that. Just way humanity functions but I refuse to paint everyone with the same brush regardless of their background.

Funny how the racial slurs seem to trump the chauvinism / anti western racism that prompted her outrage. Start a go fund me for her I’ll support it.

.

And lesson learned partial video clip of whole situation can be manipulated by social media and regular media to make anyone look like a bad guy. Imagine if the only part of the video shown was the part where immigrants told the her that women are not allowed to talk in public in their previous country.
