No I don't think so. Gay marriage has been legal in Canada for years, and there are far more "minorities" than plain 'ol whities. If anything we have a lot of reverse racism here. Dumb gwai lo...
Now, I am speaking for Toronto and Vancouver, Calgary to some extent, the most populous cities, as well as the capitol, Ottawa. French Canada probably not as much statistically. We have been going through a terrible divorce with Quebec for decades. The separation agreement has never been finalized but we keep paying 'em child support.
I don't think Canadians for the most part see their country as having high levels of racism.
Xenophobes, homophobes, anti Semites, anti blacks, anti Asians, its everywhere. I think that as time has progressed people in cities grow more accustomed to and learn to appreciate peoples different cultures.
I cringe when I hear non black people spouting the N word. The hip hop culture has made some people to think its OK. The word now has a different meaning and really it is the black people who have changed it, own it, and rightfully can use it.
Sorry for getting side tracked.
