Where Is The Hatred?

You may have heard of the notion of the cultural mosaic The diversity of Canadian cities is obvious To anyone who has spent any time in some of Canada's largest metropolitan areas Whether it be Toronto, Montreal, or Vancouver Immigration plays an integral part in the development of multiculturalism within Canada Look at me, skinny nerdy kid, Asian slanted eyes And he tries, to fit in a rather homogeneous life No disguise, it is clear I'm different never can be white Agonized, had my stories of being bullied ostracized Just like any other child growing up, I ain't special Just another lost voice out of many several This is not a one time, not an isolated case I could never be the face of one entire race By 2018, immigration had already made up 61 percent of Canada's population growth And we expect these numbers to increase significantly for the next two decades Especially in the large metropolitan cities I gotta tell the truth I fucking hate the smaller towns Where more likely xenophobics there they tend to crawl around My living hell Sherbrooke, there when I was young Just to put it mildly you won't hear diverse mother tongues, over there Just another symptom of my problem there Many issues with little boroughs secluded from the urban My view has worsened I would never go back that's for certain This ain't no place for a minority or ethnic person By 2031, it is projected that between 25 to 28 percent of the population Will be foreign-born And 29 to 32 percent of the population will belong to a visible minority group We can also presume that as the level of urbanization increases We will observe a decrease in the amount of racist attitudes And xenophobic sentiments towards ethnic minorities I don't really hate them, I guess I just pity them Not being exposed to difference nor education more ignorant Not being exposed to cultural diversity nobody different That makes the presence of racism be that more significant So I pack up my bags, and I move to the city And the people I left I don't care because they don't miss me The feeling is mutual don't me hit up cause I'm busy I'm getting down and gritty with my brand new friends and community It's a culture shock sure, but it be rather positive Seeing diverse cultures and faces in this metropolis All of this real evocative opposite of homogeneous I think I caught feelings for the cosmopolitan shit Where is the racist, where is the hatred Where are the snide remarks to couples interracial dating I am still waiting, but no it rarely ever comes or never comes I'm in the safe haven, safe from discrimination Surrounded by people from every background whether you be Black or Jewish or gay Russian or German OK, Arab or Muslim OK, Irish or Indian OK Where is the hate, the love is great There is no hate in Montreal but only warmth, and I love it that way Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it disappeared I'm just saying that there's less of it over here I'm just saying that there's less of it over here Where is the hatred, where is the hatred Where is the hatred, where is the hatred Where is the hatred, where is the hatred Where is the hatred, where is the hatred
