I don't really see Chinese or East Indian or other cultures being eradicated because they're not segregated away from society.

I would argue that some of the abuse by police and state officials and Canadians are a direct result of the reserve system and natives aren't being protect by the reserve system, and we're seeing a lot of cases of Native on Native abuse because of the reserve system.
