Tucker Carlson slams NHL for alienating white conservatives

[ηєω ƒяσηтιєя]

... yes ? Canadians are not Americans. Our cultures are different, especially when it comes to bigotry.

What? This isn't true. Canadians are not "better" than Americans when it comes to bigotry and racism. This is one thing that annoys me so much, there's too many Canadians that think Canada is some utopia free from racism and discrimination unlike "fascist and racist America". Completely ridiculous and false.

Also, Canadian and American "cultures" are not different. The US and Canada are among the 2 most culturally similar countries in the world. Also, the US influences Canada WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY more than the other way around. It's not even close or up for debate. "Canadian culture" is essentially just American culture (with some very small differences). Most Canadians don't like to hear that - but it's the truth.

Canada has a dark history with it comes to racism and don't pretend like it doesn't.

Also, it should be noted that while a plurality of NHL players are Canadian, the majority are not. Here's the top 10 nationalities of NHL players (based on the 2022-23 season):

1. Canada - 42.3%
2. United States - 27.4%   
3. Sweden - 10.6%
4. Russia - 5.7%
5. Finland - 5.2%
6. Czech Republic - 3.9%
7. Switzerland - 1.3%
8. Slovakia - 0.8%
9. Germany - 0.8%
10. Latvia - 0.5%

Canadians ARE better than Americans when it comes to racism (on average). The percentage of people who are racist is lower and the percentage of racists that are hateful racists is lower. All Canadians know this and get offended when people claim we're just as bad as Americans. There isn't data to suggest we're equally as bad as the USA, as far as I'm aware.

What evidence do you have to support your assertion? Links please.

You're the one making the extraordinary claim, not me. My assertion is backed by common public knowledge. I'm sure I could find some studies if I went looking, but generally speaking, the burden of proof is on the person making the controversial claim, not the other person.

Nope, you're the one that made the "extraordinary claim". You said that Canadians are less bigoted/racist than Americans. So where's your proof?

"common public knowledge" is conjecture not proof lol.
