North Korea's Kim pays tribute Chinese war dead on anniversary

Why do you still remember your roots as a second generation in Canada? Polish forget their roots soon after arriving in North America.

I can't speak for the Polish, they're roots aren't that interesting anyways. But there's nothing wrong with remembering your roots and preserving your identity. The Indian subcontinent is one of the most rich and vibrant cultures in the world. Being a Desi in Canada isn't like being a Pole or some other European group. They are White Christians and it is much easier for them to assimilate into Canadian society. Us Brown people are a different race, speak a different language, have a different Religion (the main thing that sets us apart), and an entirely different culture. We have dietary restrictions which the rest of society doesn't share. We have different family values in a society where the majority of people are born out of wedlock. We tend to be highly educated and successful, but even those of us who aren't aren't comparable to the working class and impoverished Canadians whose lives revolve around drugs and alcohol.

A nation of people that easily forget their roots, their language, their religion, their customs, after just one or two generations, is not a worthy nation.

I tell you reason. Nobody tell Polish they are polish in Canada, so they forget their roots. Everday your neighbor, your classmate, your strangers in the street tell you are Indian, so you can't forget your roots. Remember, you are the second generation, you speak almost the same language, got almost same education with others.

Well we don't want to forget our roots, whether we are reminded by others or not is irrelevant. We should remind ourselves if others don't remind us. We don't want to end up like the Polish.

And let me tell you something about Eastern Europeans (Poles, Slavs, Russians), they are the heaviest drinkers on the planet. They have no sexual ethics or concept of honor.

Okay, forget about Slavs, poles. British forget their roots soon after arriving in Canada as well.

Lol this is hilarious. You are telling Chinese, Viets and Eastern Europeans they have no culture, honor or ethics. Speechless at the sheer stupidity.

@Viva_Viet @Viet @AViet this is what they really think of you despite being so much poorer and weaker.

Not really. Canada was just an extension of Britain. Mainstream Canadian culture is basically English, like America. Canada is culturally closer to America, but we are somewhere in between American and British culture, though leaning closer to America. All three (Canada, America, Britain) along with Australia and New Zealand share the same cultural roots essentially.

Interestingly, many people are arriving in Canada recently from Britain. They speak with a British accent. The reason they came to Canada was to escape the Indians and Pakistanis that are spreading fast in that country. That's kind of awkward for me to interact with these newly arrived British people to Canada, since I'm an Indian/Pakistani person and very visibly Muslim. But the irony is I and my family have been in Canada longer than these newly arrived White British immigrants.

You meet a lot of awkward irony there as even a second generation. There must be some problem in that culture.
