A perspective from a Sri Lankan Canadian
Each time, a Canadian politician talks about Tamils of Sri Lanka, they are being racist.
There are hundreds of thousands of Sri Lankan immigrants who left their motherland to come to the West. They belong to Sri Lanka Sinhala, Tamil, Muslim and Burgher communities. The main reason for them to leave Sri Lanka was the 30 years of Tamil Terrorist war in the country. Some of these immigrants landed in Canada. Some through the proper channels and others as refugees. During the peak times of the war, Canada allowed more Tamils to migrate to Canada than the other races of Sri Lankan origin. Even though we were all equal victims of the same war, the Canadian governments took sides at the time. Due to this unfair favoritism by consecutive Canadian Governments, there are more Tamil immigrants in Canada compared to Sinhala, Muslim and Burghers.
All Sri Lankans: Sinhala, Tamil, Muslim and Burgher were equal victims of the Tamil Terrorist war
- When Canadian politicians refer to the hardships of ONLY the Tamil community, they are racially discriminating the Sinhala, Muslim and the Burghers who were equally impacted by the same war: https://www.ontariopc.ca/statement_from_ontario_pc_leader_patrick_brown_regarding_tamil_memorial_week
- When politicians equate dead Tamil terrorists to honorable military heroes, they are insulting the national heroes: https://srilankabrief.org/2014/11/canadian-tamil-mp-ndcf-likens-ltte-heroes-day-canadian-remembrance-day/
- When Canadian politicians promote the lie of Tamil Genocide, they are racially discriminating the Sinhala, Muslim and Burghers who were killed by the Tamil terrorists: https://www.ontariondp.ca/news/statement-ndp-leader-andrea-horwath-supporting-passage-bill-104-tamil-genocide-week-act
- When the Canadian Politicians attend events where the dead Tamil terrorists, Tamil terrorist flag or the Tamil Terrorist Suicide Flower are displayed, they are supporting the glorification of terrorism and violence in Canada: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/liberal-mps-mark-tamil-tigers-death/article4308473/
So, the question is, why are some Canadian politicians being racists? The answer is the Tamil vote.
