Idk why you tried splitting hairs in the first place. You think only white people are Canadian?

No, but when I see people who are proud of their heritage and are trying their best to keep it alive, I consider that that's what they are and want to be identified with. It's not like I'm hating on these fictional characters and being racist. I saw a film of a family who were proud of who they are and took it at face value. Never even considered their location to a part of the equation.

You watched the movie then? It just seems weird to be bothered the meme wasn't specific enough.

Also, anecdotal, but I have friends who maintain pride in their home culture but have also worked hard to be able to officially be called "Canadian".
