Time To Stir the Pot! The Melting Pot!

Being that I live in Vancouver, I can only really talk about the things that I see around me. Vancouver is by far the biggest melting pot of all the places I have been in the world. Canada as a whole has a vast collection of different peoples. Canada has always been an inviting country for immigration; in addition to its beauty and opportunity that is why I live here.

Sometimes I ask myself the question, If I did not move to Canada, would I be interested in my boyfriend if I met him Hong Kong? That question I do not know the answer to. As with my previous posts, I mention the interracial couples that I frequently see around town. Most of them are young couples, either dating or recently married. Why is that you don’t see many elder couples that are interracial in relation to how many new couples there are. I can only see it being for one of two reasons. Firstly, a more acceptable means of love for newer generations. Secondly, more races are being introduced to each other in common places like work and school.

Personally, I never had really big problems with my family accepting my boyfriend for his skin color because he made up for it in other ways. Plus my family has been in Canada for so long that maybe they have been desensitized to it.

In contrast, my second statement I believe to more true, for the simple fact that Canada has over 200 different races living together. Where else can you get such a colorful mosaic of people in the world? With this many people intermingling together everyday, falling in love would not be a forgotten subject.
