Flamingchina: you're right about other races probably being the most intolerant. Look at the background of it though. The ones that have the biggest objection are typically 1st generation who were raised back in the home country. Usually, by the 2nd generation, they've learned different. To those that would consider this a double standard - would you consider Canada to have a more accepting and progressive society then that "home country"?

He is? Other races? I assume this is meant to imply that white North Americans are more tolerant than non-white North Americans (first generation or otherwise)? Or non-white non-North Americans? What about the fact that this is many white person's 'home country'.
Clearly you guys have to take a look at some of the white enclaves on this continent. In the US south I'd wager there are thousands (millions) of white families who would 'strongly prefer' their son/daughter marry a white person. I seriously doubt we can peg intolerance on other societies/religions when our backyard is _full_ of it. Nor do I believe that this intolerance is strictly geographically confined to the southern US, I'm sure its alive and healthy in Canada, especially in some of the rural areas of our own dear province.
