DisclaimerIt probably wouldn't surprise some of my visitors to find out that I have received complaints that I make fun of their ethnic/cultural/regional background. Yes, Americans and others are stereo-typed in my jokes section, as well as made fun of. However, I justify my actions in this way: In total, I make fun of:
Since I am not only stereo-typing Americans, or North Americans, or only Western Countries, but infact people from around the world, most of which also live in Canada, I feel accusations of 'anti-americanism', or anything else, to be false: I hate all cultures equally. (Please keep in mind that I do have a web site titled Patriotism Canada.) To label my web site as anti-american, you would also have to lable it anti-canadian, anti-greek, anti-chinese, et cetera. And I believe very strongly in multiculturalism and diverse backgrouns, and do not believe that any of these people are in anyway 'inferior' ... I laugh at my self (as a Canadian) and others (as other people from the Canadian sub-cultures or around the world). I refuse to remove any jokes that stereo-type Canada (or any Canadian cultures) and so refuse to remove any other jokes. I hope you understand my reasons. |
