well in Canada for example it was mostly Chinese migrant workers who built the railways, migrant workers still pick most of the crops. I can't think of a nation I've ever been to that isn't a product of collective effort. there isn't much of a cotton industry back there.

on that tip, a Black woman was responsible for the act to abolish slavery, Simcoe Day should actually be Chloe Cooley Day.

but yeah, do not care from where some hails, their ancestry, none of that crap. where I live I am the outsider and can't imagine how it would feel if I was judged negatively for that. who are we now and how do we engage in a shared world?
