Ethnicity is not race.

Words have meaning, if you just want to say discriminatory, I would understand where you are coming from. By stating it is racism, though, you are saying that the French speaking Canadians are racially different than the English speaking which is flat out wrong.

No, that there is ethnic racism between the two due to there history here, there are some people here who believe it's two different race, from both ethnic background. Both are human beings as we all are.
