I've posted this link before, but it in fact deserves a thread of its own. "Visible Minority" in Canada and how it affects hiring practices:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_minority
See how the above works in conjunction with the Employment Equity Act:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employment_equity_(Canada)
The United Nations deemed the Visible Minority act as racist but it still is used.
When one combines the above with immigration revisions, Canada's European Caucasions (oldest community outside of aboriginals) are being clearly handicapped in employment practices. Even Arabic caucasians are not considered visible minorities. Further to this, European Caucasians are significant minorities (often resident European Caucasians are in Old Age Homes skewing stats) in many of Canada's cities (usually suburbs of the biggest cities) - basically the visible minority representation is based on the whole of the country (all rural and small cities included) and isn't based on the large city centres.
I wish I could post better on this (am on my phone and super busy), so if anyone has the time and energy feel free.
