Well, if we're going to invite all those people into Canada, the least we can do for them is make sure our workforce reflects the changing face of Canada. I guess some white Canadians will just have to give up their white privilege. We know from posters on this forum that they're all lazy anyway.
Considering in the past you have vastly misinterpreted my comments to mean the end bit, I will take your comment at the end with more than a pinch of salt. I will link you to an example of your post doing so if you wish. Also, these people are also Canadian-born in the article, we didn't invite them here either, these people were born here. These people are Canadians, educated in Canada, working in Canada for the benefit of Canada. They are not to be considered immigrants because their skin colour is different, andyt.
Anyways, the article itself does not cover all the various factors which economists believe may play a role in disparity. There are simply benefits to being an established family in Canada for a few generations. I know I could probably have some advantages had I stayed in South Western Ontario, since not only is my family well established there (especially in various Scientific and farming communities), but I'm related to people from Grand Bend through Goderich through Clinton through Seaforth through London. It could be simple discrimination in some cases (the article does not state that it's because of racism on all of Canada's part as well, don't turn simple statements into hyperboles) and in other cases it's simply a lack of available networking.
The article mentions that while there is disparity, that the disparity is not so incredibly large as it may appear from the get-go (a difference for women is only 3%) and only an 8% difference for those of Chinese descent. It's worth noting that, as implied in the article, one of the biggest problems is Montreal (and the rest of Quebec) and I have mentioned this in other posts on this topic. I could likely go and get the article which describes problems for Quebec compared to the rest of Canada dealing with minorities and immigrants in a different way, and I feel that inflates the numbers. Given how Quebec works with language policies and how they defend their culture, I think it would be a given that the inequalities in Quebec would be larger than those elsewhere (which I don't think is acceptable in general for Quebec to be doing for non-French Canadians through).
Finally, I think the beginning of the article is a mite misleading. These people are succeeding economically in Canada. They are doing well for themselves, raising families and remaining in Canada. They are educating themselves at universities more than our native born white Canadians. I don't think there are many folks expecting them to come through with the same wages as multiple generation Canadian born families, and I wonder how those families who have been here for two Canadian born generations are doing in comparison? This certainly shouldn't be a call for affirmative action policies, since those seem to have more detriments than positives to them.
