stevem, there is a GULF of difference betweeen the meanings inherent in 'tolerance' and 'acceptance'. I prefer the latter. Ideally would like everybody to wake up one morning unperturbed by their neighbours coming from somewhere different.

You have got to be kidding. You are dead meat if you are a Dane here. The local news is so Greenland-centric you'd think it was the centre of the earth.
I was surprised when I was trying to learn a bit of Polish for my holiday one year, that one of the guys on the tape was a black dude. One unfortunate family in 1950 got off the banana boat in Gdansk!!

Huh? Greenland has no independence, it is owned by Denmark. Hence the hatred of Danes and those who speak Danish in Greenland (when I said "here" I was talking about Greenland). The native Inuit people are very set in their ways, and the only ever Greenlandic film ever made was an elitist propaganda about an Inuit doing some "soul searching" after his sons became "too Western" (they went on a shooting spree and on of them turned the gun on himself. This is, o course, what being "Western" is all about :P).

how many of the "Foreign-born" were born in the "United States"? in real numbers - the number of immigrants who came to New York in the 1990s exceeds the city population of Toronto.
~25% of Torontoans are Asian and ~8% are black. roughly 10% of compare to New Yorkers are Asian, 25% are black non-hispanic, and 27% are hispanic.

I wasn't using that to reply to you. I was using that to back up the point I was making, and the link between Greenland and Denmark.
Basically Greenland's pretty racist, we can agree on that one? :)

As a European person living in an Asian country, I have never bought the line that race doesn't exist.

yes i am well aware of the difference, and i'm sure everyone would rather there be mutual acceptance of eveybody's ethnicities, cultures, religions (i struggle with those last two way more than the first one personally) in addition to mere tolerance - apart from the people who seemingly genuinely would like everyone to think and believe the same thing (a plague on that warless world!). but seems unlikely given how deep-rooted fear and distrust of that which is different is generally.
