Whitest Cities (quality of life, safety, racist)

[Sagittarius Sirius]

These are the whitest major cities in Canada (100,000 people at least)

These figures for white people only include 'European Canadians', these figures exclude white Hispanics, white Arabs and Metis people (some of which would be considered white)

therefore these figures are actually higher than what is posted here

Canada is 76.7% 'European Canadian'
which makes it the 3rd whitest country in the Americas

Only 56.9% speak English as a first language

21.3% speak French as a first language

Any surprises or thoughts on this ? ^

Hispanics are a mixed up bunch and the Arabs were never 'white' since they are genetically distinct from European ethnicities.

I don't know whats surprising about the list. All i know is if Canada wasn't bringing in large numbers of immigrants from around the world than all Canadian cities would be 'white'.

[UrbanLuis]

Even if white Hispanics were thrown into the mix, there is not enough of them here to make any change to those numbers at all.

No real surprises on this list, but its interesting that Quebec city is so white. I thought there would have been a bit more minorities there. Also, I would have thought that Regina and Saskatoon would have been more white.

Everytime I see the words 'Greater Sudbury' outside of Sudbury, I'm instantly surprised it was acknowledged in any way, for better or for worse.

Don't get too excited though. It's a copy-paste from an official statistical list...

I know all about it. I said "And?" in a "why should I care about what you are saying" kind of manner. What is important to be is
-Can I have a decent quality of life here?
-What are the amenities here?
-The way I am treated.
-Over all safety.

Those things take precedent.

Agreed. The implication is that people who aren't white aren't "real" Canadians, even if we're not talking about immigrants. I give the lie to that, I'm not included in those numbers above and I'm absolutely Canadian, of and from this country.

I'm sure you'll find all those things in a nice racially diverse place
