Quite contrary to "superiority", racism is usually the consequence of an inferiority complex. Its a fear overcompensating with a defensive myth. |

I've attended the Tsu'u Tina Nations Pow Wow in (technically, just outside) Calgary. I went with my friend who is of First Nation heritage and who takes drum lessons from a tribal elder. If you'd like I can introduce the two of you and you can say this to her face. I'm sure she'd love to hear a foreigner like yourself tell her that her entire cultural heritage is dead.
It's great to see how a non-native like yourself is such an expert on all things indigenous. Was it hard growing up on the reservation? |

I believe the reference was to just another day and not the OP. just another day has been trolling the forums recently ... |

While Calgary is hardly mutlicultural utopia, we personally have never experienced any racism in the past six years.
Just another day might be interested to note that Asian male white female couples are pretty common here. Last outing to the mall I counted 10 couples. |

| I don't see the problem with using Calgary's skyline in a Korean ad. Korea has cities. Calgary is a city. In a generic kind of way, it makes sense to transpose Calgary to Korea. Kind of like the use of that clip of the Vietnamese islands in the Sparkling Korea ad on TV. Same-same. |

| I doubt it if was too intentional. Probably did a google search and picked the first city that wasn't too unique or recognizable. |
