Now that is really close to 0 to negative percentage territory. From 25% increase in inventory to 28% in 2 weeks, that is quick. When the many large condo developments are completed, inventory will rise even faster.

You sure are good at really inaccurate "correct me if I'm wrong" statements, but I guess that's the easy way of putting out misinformation without any liability. According to StatsCan Toronto's population increased by 21787 from 2001 - 2006. Anyway prices are up 1% in the 416 for the first...

Please read through the whole thread in order, this is the basis for his argument. He didn't think the original article was credible. I'm probably not going to bother responding anymore, just read through the thread.

I don't know what you're saying anymore, read through the thread and maybe you'll have a better understanding.

Okay, enough strawman. Quit putting words in my mouth.

But the StatCan study does and the article is clearly focussing on this group, and I don't see what difference that makes to you constantly butchering the use of the term.

Where did I say anything like that? You need to work on your reading comprehension. You're saying that Italians and Jewish people are visible minorities, but they are clearly not, yet you still insist. You can't seem to differentiate between a visible and non visible minority. You can't...

No, the premise of Malthus' argument was that discrimination against visible minorities was far understated because Sikh's and Jews have overcome discriminations and have become more or comparably successful than those with parents from traditional source countries. I said these points were...

Sorry, that's idiotic. Visible minority is a categorization term in Canada used by StatsCan. In no way are Jewish or Italian people visible minorities in Canada. http://www.statcan.ca/english/concepts/definitions/vis-minorit.htm

The subject was visible minorities, but yeah you can identify peoples background by knowing their last name.

Not many Italian Jewish people, but yeah, it's difficult to distinguish Jewish people from physical features.

I disagree, not visibly. There are some stereotypical physical traits applied to Jewish people, but I don't think there's enough substance to it to easily identify them, even to Italians or WASPs.

Wouldn't that mean Chinese people would self-identify themselves as Asian? I don't agree with your point, there are many Caucasian people who have mixed roots, that don't identify themselves to one specific background. Or they've been in Canada for so many generations that they've forgotten...

Sikh's do not tend to do better or comparable to families from traditional source countries, so what you are saying is false. Jews are not a visible minority so it has no relevance. Your arguments don't gel.

Right, it's complicated. To answer question 1: I don't think it should. And 2: They don't have the right. But the harsh reality is that there's not much you can do to change the mindset of these types of people, their biases are probably firmly in place. Enforcement as we know is nearly...

I agree that in the future, the ratio will balance out, but not exactly because of your reasoning. Younger people tend to be more open to diversity and as older people who grew up with biases retire, it will be even better than it is now... not that it's so bad right now either.

These are valid points. Many visible minorities tend to stick within their own community, which could could make them worse off compared to assimilating with other communities that give them better chances for opportunity. Possibly a negative aspect of a cultural mosaic. The question is how...

Somalian people take up a very small fraction of visible minorities in Canada, therefore your examples have little merit. Your theory was weak anyway. You're making an assumption that a large percentage of visible minorities delve into crime for a while, which I think is wrong. Also if you're...

Don't put words in my mouth, never said this. I said "partly a case of gender discrimination", there are other factors involved as well. Let me get this straight... you believe that second generation visible minority males, but not females tend to go into a life of drugs, gangs, misogyny...

Women earn a fraction of the amount of men. On average they hold jobs of less importance and much less income. This is partly a case of gender discrimination, but that is another subject. The point is when the gender as a whole is limited to a low level of opportunity, there can't be as much...
