Time Warner, Viacom, Fox, Sony, NBC Universal and Disney say half of all movies illegally posted online originate in Canada. Now Warner Bros. has BANNED CANADIAN MOVIE PREVIEWS, starting with "Ocean's Thirteen" and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" (lest some camcorder-clasping Canuck illicitly makes off with their intellectual property).

...and just so your readers don't think it is traditional middle class white Canadians selling bootleg DVDs, it is the large amount of Chinese who are living in Canada and abusing the country's laws and abusing Canada's sense of law and order. They bring with them their way of life (which is riping off other people and the government) and don't adopt the Candadian mindset of obeying the law and not abusing the system.
I don't think that distinction had to be made. Chinese, Canadian whatever... punishing everybody for the crimes of the few is ridicules. Anyway I don't see how banning previews is going to do anything... and your racist tirade is not helping matters.
It needs to be made. I belive that the race of the criminal should always be made. Here is Washington DC there was a homeless guy in DC stabbing people, and the news would not describe him (so you know he was black) more than likely because so much of the crime in DC is black on black, or black on white, and they feel they are feeding a stereotype, when in fact, it is just plain fact. You don't have crime in cities that are mostly white like Des Moines, Boise, and Lincoln. Just plain facts again. In Sweden, in this past year, 90% of all rapes where committed by Muslim youth. Should that be kept secret? It got very little publicity, and these Muslim youth told the police that "western women" are their "booty". Swedes should be alerted to this. This has nothing to do with punishment......
Who are you to say something so ridiculous? How is it that the Chinese people live their lives by ripping off people? I am shocked by your arrogance. You only come off racist and self-righteous. A large amount of a particular culture does not mean they are all abusing the "Canadian Mindset". If there are MORE of a group of people, the chances of that action is more likely to happen within them. That means nothing about the race in it's entirety. The technology is open to everybody, and any body who knows a little something about Anything.. will be able to make a little money doing something wrong. Being "a white canadian " does not mean they have a more lawful mindset than if you were " a chinese canadian". The opportunity for all races to commit an act that we disapprove of is equal amongst all who are living in Canada. If the "traditional middle class white Canadians" want or had to, they would. The Chinese out number the white, but the East-Indian out number the Chinese. There are things we can say about the East-Indian, however, whatever horrible act statistics can find. It only makes them LOOK bad but they aren't. They just have more people to add to their chances to commit to anything we don't like. It would be just the same for your "white class" if there wasn't so many races. You should not have made any distinction. Every PERSON is subject to any level of.. "evil".. Even Chinese kids but not excluding the equal chance for White kids either. Use a little logic, not prejudice.
