She thinks some people are too white. I think Rebecca is too fat.

I think you're too stupid. She didn't say people are too white, she said the party is too white. In Canada that means you'll have a problem getting a majority. Harper perfected the sucking up to minorities during his reign, the Libs are naturals at it, so the NDP is going to have to play that game as well.

It's funny tho to see a far rightie get upset because she didn't use the pc term "not diverse enough."

And I think you're so stupid you can't accept the obvious. For example I am your intellectual superior.

And no if you and yours want to run around expressing your bigotry; and yes that's what "Fuck White People" is, then don't be walking around with anything the rest of us might choose to consider a flaw. For example in your case, you're an idiot. I'm Idiotophobic. You can't be in my clubs.

So non pc when it's directed at you = outrage
non pc when it's directed at others = why are those &^%^% always so offended.

Got it.

If Tubby could get rid of all the evil white people, you know what would be next, right?

Think "patriarchy."

And so it continues, just like the UK.

Can only speak for what I know in BC: ethnic Chinese NDP members do not come anywhere near the numbers in the general population. East Indian numbers are much closer. Up north here Natives are predominantly NDP.
But NDP numbers in BC are proportionately higher than in the ROC and I have absolutely no knowledge of any ethnic group elsewhere in Canada that is as big as Chinese is here.

I'd like if we didn't need to use terms like that at all. Who cares if a party is mostly white? The people politicians serve all have the same basic needs. The only difference I can think of between different races would be cultural. Some may call that racist, but it's a fact of life. For this reason, a party needs some representation from these races, but i think trying to be fully proportional to the population is ridiculous. Same goes for police, firefighters, etc.

I think the point is that the NDP isn't reflecting the present day makeup of the country.

And honestly why should it? Can I use the entire "diversity" bullshit to avoid being arrested by anything other than a white police officer? Should medical schools pass only those who reflect the diversity of the community they will practice in?

The entire "reflecting diversity" nonsense is about discrimination and lowered standards, which given the access to education in Canada, should be stopped immediately.

The best person for the job, period.

We're talking about the NDP here. So does it really matter?

In a word, no. 3rd place forever and deservedly so.

Arrested? WTF are you talking about? The NDP is a political party and wants to appeal to a large slice of the population.

So nobody finds anyone a different race than them appealing? I always knew the political lefties were racist, thanks for confirming it.
