Well that is sad. I am Canadian too, european tho. I never assume anyone is an immigrant and not born here unless they tell me so. And even then it makes no difference to me, almost all Canadians are here because of immigration at some point in their family. Canadian doesn't equal white. My grandparents also immigrated here. My step dad immigrated from Peru about 10 years ago. My sisters husband immigrated from Vietnam, my other sister's husband imigrated from Germany, so my family has become quite mixed with culture, and I like it. I enjoy learning and sharing back and forth. My step fathers family and my brother in laws family have all become close with my family. My step fathers family speaks little to no english, and my family little to no spanish and yet somehow we have fiqured out how to communicate and care about each other. Same with my brother in laws family, his parents speak very little english and we still forged relationships, they are really lovely special people.

I don't quite understand why you can't truly be friends with these people tho? When I was in school I had many friends from different backgrounds, some east indian, african, asian etc. Some were my best ftiends, true friendship. Are you saying they do not want to be friends with you because of your mixed race?

Some people do separate themselves, and some people do not display acceptance of immigrants. And perhaps both are not accepting of others, which is sad. Lots of people are not like this too tho and will accept any race. Maybe you have to look for people who are more accepting and welcoming? Why wold you just want to die?
