    About Europe, please send some South Asians to East Europe, you will see that because of their skin they will be called Gypsies (this is what I've even witnessed in my school time when Polish and Czech guys were calling Gypsies to South Asians)

    British people call me Irish as I've red hair and freckles....I'm not Irish and I know how much they love anything Irish. And Brits also call any brown person "Paki"..

    My Danish and Swedish friends literally dislike Muslims. Many Norwegians particularly dislike Pakistanis.

    ...and list goes on...Germany is not one racist country actually whole world has plenty of nuts. Norwegians are not racist people but look what one racist did to many innocent lives.

    Why can we not compare Canada with Germany, we should otherwise how we will accept the truth and try to correct our society, as blame game will take us no where.

    "A majority of Canadians have heard a racist comment in the past year and nearly a third have witnessed a racist incident, according to a new public opinion poll.

    But while Canadians believe racism is on the rise around the world, they don't believe it's rising in their own neighbourhoods.

    The Leger Marketing poll, released exclusively to QMI, found that 18-24-year-olds were the most likely to report hearing or seeing racism.

    While 68% of respondents said they had heard a racist comment in the past year, that number rose to 81% among 18-24-year-olds. When it came to racist incidents, 50% of 18-24 year olds said they had witnessed one in the past year, compared to 31% overall.

    Despite this, only 23% of 18-24-year-olds said racism is on the rise in their neighbourhoods, and the national average was even lower, at 14%.

    Quebecers were by far the least likely to have heard racist comments - 56%, compared to 72% for the rest of the country - and just 23% of Quebecers reported witnessing a racist incident compared to 33% in the rest of Canada.

    The provinces with the highest rates of hearing racist comments were Alberta, British Columbia and Manitoba/Saskatchewan at 74% each, followed closely by Ontario at 71%.

    The highest rate of witnessing racism was in British Columbia (41%) followed by Alberta at 40% and Ontario at 32%.

    As for those reporting a rise in racism in their neighbourhood, the province with the highest rate was B.C. (18%) followed by Ontario (16%) and Alberta (15%)".
