Where Is The Hatred? Lyrics

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% 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 got to 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 okay, Arab or Muslim okay, Irish or Indian okay

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
