Originally posted by Euphorica why? There parents still do things from that backround... like traditions, food etc. Its not like cause you were born here you automatically do Canadian things only. Thats what Canada is anyways. A very multicultural country. It would be stupid if everyone forgot where they came from...and even though you were born here you still have roots from where your parents are from. You do see it in every country! Peoples backround is from where their parents are from. Im getting sick and tired of reading about people bitching about others being proud of their backround. I was born here because my mother chose to have me born here(rents were living over seas while pregnant and my mom flew here for me to be born). My primary backround is Italian and Polish. We still follow traditions from each, my mom speaks Polish along with other things and my grandmother (Polish is still alive). My father used to speak Italian but since his parents have died there hasnt been a need for him to speak it. We still have LOTS of family over seas. I think of myself as NOT only Canadian but Italian and Polish aswell. So what if I was born here? That doesnt mean that my heritage means shit all and I just forget it and move on. Im proud of my roots and where I come from, cause really my flesh and blood is FROM those other countries. Quit bitching cause you are whitey mcwhite from Canada with no other backround

Sounds to me that you consider yourself Polish/Italian first, and Canadian when it's convenient. THAT'S what's wrong with multiculturalism.

Originally posted by Jem_hadar Baffles me logically. I dont think you'd see that in many other country around the world. I really dont.

Perfect example is that roughly 50% of Argentina's population came from italy around the same time as we received our italian immigrants. But i haev rarely seen an italian flag. The rare exception being an italian bakery. Instead the italians there integrated many italian ideas into every day life. Much of the argentine version of spanish is heavily italian influenced, the first names are italian and even the food is italian adapted to argentine beef culture.

But, ask any 2nd gen argentine italian if hes italian and he will probably sayv "my dad is but im argentine".

Why are you still here? Your an adult, you can now make your own decisions.... if you'd rather be elsewhere then go.
