Canuckistan has some diversity. They have white people. And they have whiter people.
But I once (40 years ago) dated a nice Canuckistanian gal....

Can't brain. Has dumb.
Uh.......say again?

My point was that absorbing Americastan would cause us to dominate your politics
& culture. OK, the latter has already happened. But our (not including my)
influence would send you into pointless & wasteful foreign conflicts.

I see my joke didn't work as I'd intended lol. If the u.s.was to invade NZ, there'd be nothing we could do about it. Our dinghies and pop guns are no match :p

Well, of course not, considering that the US has a much higher percentage of, well, "black" people and a much lower percentage of, well, "white" people.

Canada -3 percent of African descent
US - 13 percent of African descent

And 97 percent of those of African heritage in Canada live in urban areas. Fifty seven percent live in Ontario. That means that forty percent of that very small 3 percent live elsewhere in Canada, with the vast majority living in urban areas.

On a side note, there's a much higher percentage of Hispanic people, which (with some exceptions) tend to be, well, less "white" in the US than Canada.

Canada - 1.2 percent
US - 17 percent

The US has a much more intensely hued rainbow of skin tones. With more diversity, and larger non majority ethnic groups, it's natural for there to be more issues regarding race and ethnicity.

It's really easy to say you're not a racist when nearly everyone around you is the same color and ethnicity that you are. Some things are easier to deal with in theory than in reality.

You've only looked at two cherry picked races. We have more immigrants from east and central Asia than Latin America and our African folks tend to be immigrants rather than the descendants of slaves. Lol at calling your own demographics issues the end all be all of racial tension.

We have 4 groups of African Americans ... runaway slaves, direct from Africa, via the Caribbbean (i,e- Jamaica, Barbados) and from USA. These four groups provide substantial diversity. There were several runaway slave farming communities in western Canada.

This multiculturalism thing is never simple. :)

It was on fire when I laid down on it.

Well, considering I didn't "call our own demographics issues the end all be all of racial tension" I really don't know what you're referring to.

Be honest. Canada is overwhelmingly WHITE WHITE WHITE WHITE WHITE. Much more so than the US.
Canada Demographics Profile 2014

Not only that, but the disparity between rural and urban demographics is very striking - there are MANY more ethnic groups represented in urban areas than in rural areas.

Another major difference between minority ethnic groups in Canada and in the US is that Canada has a much lower rates of illegal immigration, due to the fact that Canada doesn't have a vast southern border that it shares with a country filled with people so desperate that they consider life as an illegal, disenfranchised non citizen a better alternative than life as a legal citizen in their own country. Illegal immigrants tend to be poverty stricken, less educated, and less healthy than those who immigrate legally.

Our second largest minority group is African Americans, whose ancestors were nearly all brought here against their will as slaves. The ramifications of slavery continue to be felt even fifty plus years after the Civil Rights movement.

So, our two largest ethnic groups generally have some pretty significant issues, and generally come from less healthy, stable, and affluent backgrounds than legal immigrants and their descendants.

And finally, Canadian minorities are more largely Asian than other ethnic groups - and those Asians tend to be more recent immigrants. This differs significantly from the various ethnic groups in the US, many of which have had a strong presence in the US for over 100 years.

The two scenarios are very different and thus the racial issues differ as well.

Section 318 of Canada's Criminal Code makes it a crime to "advocate genocide."

So all those Jew haters at the anti-Israel "protests" holding signs and shouting kill the Jews, and those pro-ISIS toadies and Islamic extremists in the blue area of the "new map" need to be arrested.

I want to keep my Kaiser HMO no matter what, the Canadian healthcare system almost disabled my Mother-In-Law.
