There's no reason to attempt to attribute every inequality in the world to racism.

Just because it applies to all immigrants, not just ones that are visible minorities it makes those disadvantages less real? I bet first gen Eastern European immigrants from 40 years ago would disagree.
My post was intended to be a counter point to the post I quoted, which said that visible minorities have the same chances in life as the dominant groups in Canada. His point was only even close to valid because he discounted all imigrants, and those who couldn't get a good education/start in life because of factors (like the ones I listed).
Just because it is an inequality that you don't feel is related to overt racism, doesn't mean it doesn't affect peoples lives.
