People who are criticizing my English skills in Canada is equally like
I am criticizing Japanese skills for people who came from China or
Korea, for example,  in Japan (which I am NOT doing), to poke fun and
to prevent making one's opinions as well as to bash one into hell.   
I determine that such practise is acceptable in Canada (at least for
some anglophones) by reading the responses in the newsgroups. This is
not a stereotype, but it is just a fact at least in the newsgroups.
Especially when someone does not agree with opinions for someone
,including myself, who has come from different countries, criticizing
English skills is one of the important factors for anglophones in
Canada to force to make some senses such that his opinion is correct
or else superior over the person whom he is criticizing of.

By the way (1), going to the university in USA is much easier for
foreign students (i.e.  less score required for English proficiency).
Immigrating into USA is much easier for foreign people without
knowledge of English (i.e.  immigration lottery).

By the way (2), universities in Canada require candidates to
demonstrate English proficiency in terms of Grade 12 English score or
essay placement test.    I hear bad and bad stories about them but
ones who will take the advantage of such systems are students who come
from outside including myself.   You should blame for the failure of
your own bash-out system, not the ones who satisfy the requirements
who come from outside (while many Canadians don't satisfy such
requirements.)


The point I want to make here is that there is a tendency in Canada
such that ideologies or opinions, especially of oriental,  are
criticized just because of language skills and other issues that are
irrelevant to the content itself.       At least I see too many
language skill evaluations and too many country-of-origin evaluations
for my Myth of McGill site (and other related opinion sites) rather
than the content itself.

I do not want your input nor revision for my language skills nor
commments for country-of-origin.   As far as the language skill is
concerned, in fact, one person revised my posting to try to put me
into hell or so but his revision was even worse, getting bad comments
from his fellows.       Anyways, at least it's very foolish for me to
prove that my Japanese skills are superior over those who live in
China or Korea, criticizing language skills of those people who decide
to live in Japan and tell them to go back to their home country.
Probably you don't feel foolish for yourself for doing such things,
but rather proud of it.


Regards,
