We lived several years in the southern tier of New York (not far from Ithaca. We constantly drove to Toronto, Montreal, Quebec, and Manhattan to get away from the cultural desert that is most of the USA. We ate real food and sat in cafes and subways and sucked in the different skin colors and languages. It did not matter that we did not understand many of the languages and did not look like many of the people. We just needed to see some diversity. Then we went back to a pearly white place where Taco Bell is considered ethnic. We left for good 8 years ago.

Grew up in Ithaca huh? Given its 10 square miles surrounded by realilty I'm not too surprised you had major culture shock.
FWIW my ex- father-in-law lived in the residential -schools- near Hagersville, Ontario. He called it -The Hole. - He was a tough guy but every time he talked about it, he would start to shake.

at minutes 3. 54, Alize said -Someone can be both Malay--a dominant group -- and Christian-. as far as i remember Malays cannot be Christians. Lina Joy went to court because she wanted to be identified as a Malay Christian but she lost her case. -

This is refreshing to see attention brought to this.
Maybe if more people know about this globally the Canadian government will try to help the First Nations communities rather than have symbolic holidays and false promises.

3: 55 - Can a Malay individual have Christianity as his/her religion? Because from what I know, it is almost impossible for a Malay individual to be a Christian due to the strict Syariah law.
Please educate me on this: )

3: 54 -Someone can be both Malay, a dominant group, and Christian, a non-dominant group. -
Oof in theory it should work like that, but in reality religion was never a personal matter in Malaysia.

6: 55 People adopt a culture that they look up to. People make fun of a culture that they look down on. Cultural appropriation is not a negative thing. Cultural degradation is.
