Not quite sure what you're getting at here in your first two bits here. What I mean to imply was that typically people immigrating to Canada are moving from homogenous black/white/yellow/brown countries and it's the embedded culture "back home" to exclude others. Hence why it shows up in the 1st generation but dissipates (hopefully) by the 2nd.

Ok, here's what I'm getting at.

Where is the basis for this? There are _plenty_ of rural Canadians who would cringe at the thought of their son/daughter marrying a non-white person. I think you may be painting whole nations/people with a gigantic (and false) brush. To say that generally, 'black/white/yellow/brown countries' are more intolerant of inter-racial marriage is going to require some hefty proof. I hear you in that this may be a prevailing point of view, but I don't think its a correct one. I think we're a product of our environment, and our environment leads you (and me) to think this way, regardless of its basis in truth.
And, honestly, if you moved to Hong Kong or something, I'm sure most of us would be a lot happier if our son/daughter brought home a white-British person as opposed to Chinese. Again, product of our environment, and very unfortunate.
