Could you please outline what whites would like to practice and not have a fear of being labelled racist? If its regarding the economy, I doubt that this is exclusively the domain of white people in rural areas. My understanding of minority issues is that they are wanting to be considered equal as a person when compared to white people.

Im confused by this and hope you shed some light on it. Are Indian people in Brampton going to work in dress shirts, ties, and office appropriate skirts rather than a Nehru jacket or Saris? Is it more to do with having appropriate work attire rather than being culturally appropriate? There are tons of Indian weddings where white people have attended wearing Saris and no one would say they're culturally appropriating India. Granted, these are some of my own examples, but if you could highlight some of your own, then we can carry that discussion further.

You do realize that this is not a game for some people in America right?
