I want to elaborate on the point I made in class regarding Canada. I really do believe one of the chief reasons we don't learn a lot about Canada is due to its progressive nature, especially as far as race relations go. America does not want to seem inferior to Canada in any way, so it is purposely removed from standard curriculums. I guess I understand their reasoning behind this, but what is the cost? All it does is breed ignorance throughout America. We should know more about the nations that share our boarders!
Along with this, I'm curious as to what a nation would actually look like with more progressed race relations. What kind of environment does this create? How is it different than what we live in? Personally, I think America is heading in the right direction. While we still have many who want to keep this country for the white men only, I think a majority of us are loioking for change, and a push toward multiculturalism.
