I believe I'll have to step in ollaimh's side on this.
His experience has taught him that Anglo 'culture' is different, has different values. How do I know? I am that rare breed: a Quebec Anglo/Francophone. When I left Quebec, and met anglos from other parts of Canada, and Americans, I knew from my own experience that their culture was different. Does that make me a racist? Or Ollaimh? No, I don't think so.When I play gigs in Francophone retirement homes, its easy to see the differences from Anglo retirement homes, only a few miles away. Different. Very different.
My thoughts, anyway.
