What does "preserve the social fabric" mean?

Because there are so many Indians around, newly arrived Indians tend to spend most of their time with other Indians, and as a result don't integrate with the rest of society as much as previously waves of immigrants did. Canada is a cultural mosaic, but a certain degree of intermixing and assimilation is necessary, in my opinion, to preserve social and national bonds.

It's a dog whistle for 'keeping Canada white'. There are a lot of racists in Canada.

  • Canada is one of the least racist countries in the world. Please travel.

    • Honestly so is the USA. Yes there is racism, more than I used to think, but it’s below average.

      Not being racist is really a pretty modern idea that didn’t become popular anywhere until the last 50 years. For most of human history it was conventional wisdom that (whatever I am) is the obviously superior form of human. Statistically this is probably still what most living people think.

      I mean of course whatever you are is the master race. Isn’t it obvious?
