Immigration Minister: Immigration

Immigrating To Canada Dept: If ethnic means different colour skin -and clearly, it does -then does "very ethnic" mean people whose skin is really dark?, according to Calgary Herald. "Ethnic" has to be a euphemism for skin colour, because I never hear politicians fussing about, for example, the need to court Scandinavian voters. When was the last time anyone cared how Ole Jensen, who has never missed a Sons of Norway meeting since immigrating to Canada five years ago, is going to vote? Poor Ole, only mildly ethnic with his rosy skin and blond hair -no one's trying to woo him. Now if Ole suddenly changed his name to Mohamed Jensen, he might become an ethnic object of interest to politicians, regardless of stripe or party and could someone please define "ethnic" for me? Or "very ethnic," for that matter, which is how a bloc of potential voters to be won over to the federal Conservative Party was labelled in a fundraising letter that mistakenly was sent out on government letterhead? This business about "ethnic" voters puzzled me long before the kerfuffle over Immigration Minister Jason Kenney's letterhead came to light. As reported in the news.
