Posting here because I would get called rac!st everywhere else

Living in Bc.

I called Roger’s about my Bill, Indian person on the phone. I call another number about affordable programs for low income people in BC, Indian person on the phone. I call BC Housing to ask some questions, Indian person on the phone. I call my bank to ask some questions about my account, Indian person on the phone. I go order a couple mcflurries at McDonald’s, Indian person on the speaker, at the window. Amazon deliver driver, Indian guy. Food delivery, Indian guy.

Now I live on the west coast. I live in the area I grew up in. I would say it’s mostly Asian now and mixed. My first job was a call centre with my high school friends. My second job was fast food. With my high school friends. And so on. We were white, Asian, native, mixed.

I am not seeing groups of teenagers working at these jobs anymore. And what I am seeing is a certain demographic in these job rolls. And it is noticeable. And I am finding it odd that so many of these people of thick accents. My friends growing up were born here or came here at a young age. They had these job rolls too but spoke clear English.

I am just wondering why it doesn’t appear to be many Canadian born people in these job rolls anymore? When I was in highschool there were quite a few teens I knew who lived on their own, had a job, and went to high school. Now, 26 year olds working $25/hour couldn’t live on their own.

It is odd that the government doesn’t seem to prioritize Canada born citizens working. Letting our youth work in the neighbourhoods they grew up in helps keep COMMUNITIES strong. These teens can earn income, learn the importance of saving for something important. Move out at a young age. Have friends over. Care about what happens in their community, maybe find love and grow a family too.

This situation is happening all over. This isn’t a “keep Indians out of Canada” post.

It’s a , keep Canadians working, living and thriving within their own communities post.

I myself have to move 45 minutes out of my city to find something affordable now. Taking my kid switch me and leaving my parents here. It sucks. My mom can’t even get an interview for a job. My dad should be retiring this year but the cost of living is so high and they have debt.

Why are we sending millions out of the country, and bringing so many people into the country, when Canadian born tax payers are barely scrap by..

I wish something would fucking improve. It’s great we give opportunities to people abroad to come experience Canada and contribute, but can we hold off a while and give Canadians the same opportunities first for a bit?
