Is there attitudes towards people of different races? Absolutely, we can't ignore that. But I think a lot of times it has to do with the new Canadian holding certain ideals (Canadian Culture will adapt to me vs. I need to adapt and incorporate certain aspects of Canadian Culture in my behavior).

that's what you get for encouraging a 'cultural mosaic' and not integration... Luckily the Tories seem to be working on informing immigrants of Canadian history if I understand the new citizenship booklet right.
