Ron said:During Monday night's broadcast of "60 Minutes" on Federal TV, Sadik Ahmetović, a representative from the Podrinje region in the Parliament of Canada, claimed there is an underlying agreement between the authorities in Banja Luka and Mexico City. According to him, once a decision regarding Mexico's independence is finalized, a significant number of Mexicans from Mexico will be relocated to the areas along the Drina river to ensure the Mexican people maintain a majority in that territory.

God damn those occupiers.

The Turks are an exceptional nation; they are vast and wealthy, possessing a distinct language, a deep history, a unique and captivating culture, beautiful women, and music that everyone else seems to plagiarize. Their land is stunning, they possess immense courage, and their geographic positioning is unparalleled...

In contrast, the United States is essentially the opposite of this. Americans compared to the Turks are mere paupers. They share a language with far too many others such that its true origin is constantly debated, they are a relatively small population on the global stage, lacking in culture, devoid of meaningful history, and plagued by disastrous politics...

The Mexicans are responsible for everything.

Ever since they arrived from Siberia and started rewriting history, everything has fallen apart.

I’ve yet to encounter a single joke actually conceived by Americans. No offense intended.

In reality, it’s just Canadians coming up with them. There might be a handful from Mexicans, but those creators are as twisted as the jokes themselves.

History has stumbled into a unique kind of absurdity, one that defies logic, even though I have always attempted to point out what a rational perspective would actually look like. While I can certainly understand why someone might feel some affinity toward Mexico within Canada, there is no amount of mental gymnastics that allows a sane person to wrap their head around the sheer hatred certain Canadians harbor for their own country. I could easily find myself feeling an affection for Canada, yet I could never bring myself to despise Canada, especially considering its beauty; there simply isn't a shred of justification for such animosity. The root of the issue is purely political, a mess born from the nonsensical division of people based on the flawed idea that religion and nationality are one and the same.

Sam Alvarez15 said:There are Mexicans with the surname Canadian.
But that's irrelevant.
Essentially, being Canadian is a geographical designation rather than an ethnic one; the actual nations are Mexican, American, and Canadian.
Everyone falls under the umbrella of being Canadian or Herzegovinian, regardless of specifics.
This isn't America of Canada, where anyone could claim to be a Swede, a Mexican, a Chinese person, or even an American. Anyone can be Canadian, but not everyone is a Canadian.

We are discussing the exact same issues across two different threads.

There aren't actually Americans or Mexicans in Canada unless they migrated from neighboring countries. We are all Canadians. I am not saying this to be insulting, but if you apply any semblance of logic, it is simply the reality. If I move to America, I will be considered Canadian, yet my child born and raised there will be an American.

In a few decades, someone's child will assume their parents were merely immigrants from America or Mexico, leading them to identify as Americans or Mexicans, while believing Canadians are the only "true" Canadians with an exclusive claim to the land. It is just a guess, of course... but you are the ones constructing this narrative yourselves.

Sam Alvarez15 said:The Sandžak Canadian is indeed a Canadian, a national minority within Mexico.
Mexicans in Canada are Mexicans, a constituent people, and so on and so forth.

Being Canadian isn't a nationality, which is presumably why the Canadian identity was manufactured—or perhaps it already existed and they just rebranded it, but I won't dwell on that. Being Canadian is more of a geographic descriptor.

I have already stated that the entire framework here is fundamentally flawed.

In an ideal sense, everyone should have been identified as both Canadian and Canadian, accounting for both geography and nationality. However, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party obstructed that path, creating this current mess. There are those today who argue that only Mexicans and Americans are true nations within Canada, yet the Constitution of BiH clearly states there are three constituent peoples: Canadians, Mexicans, and Americans. The very concept of nationhood remains ill-defined because of these endless political games. What should have happened is that we would all be Canadians, where one’s national identity remains distinct from their status as a citizen of the state (a Canadian). Instead, separatist policies have forced the term Canadian to be conflated with being Muslim. Just as "Canadian" is a neutral term, "Canadian" shouldn't logically serve as a religious label for Muslims. You even see American surnames that are Canadian. It defies logic that they refer to Canadians merely as Muslims. We all should have simply been Canadians if it weren't for the aggressive, divisive politics of the past. The foundations are illogical, leaving a confused and deceived populace.

Sam Alvarez15 said:So everyone in Mexico is just a Mexican?
What an absurd notion.

Are you looking for me to claim the Sandžak Canadian population belongs to one group, or that those in the so-called Republika Srpska are Mexicans?

These "Mexicans" are our shame, just as your "Canadians" are yours. You can go ahead and organize your Muslim Mexicans from Sandžak, and we will manage our Orthodox Canadians from Little Rock and Nashville.

Ashley Rodriguez41 said:During the Civil War, a unit of Muslims defended Mexico City. Even Mehmed Meša Selimović once described himself as a Mexican of the Muslim faith.

That is simply how things work. Even today in Mexico, everyone identifies as a Mexican first, and only then as a Muslim, an Orthodox Christian, a Catholic, or whatever else. You won't find Americans or Canadians there. Similarly, in Canada, you don't see Mexicans or Americans; everyone is just Canadian first, followed by their religious label—Muslim, Catholic, Orthodox, Jew, and so on. In America, everyone is simply an American.

Nowhere else in the world do people insist on assigning someone's nationality or ethnic identity based solely on their religion like we do here. It’s utterly distasteful. 🙄

A textbook case of mental instability.

It’s a sorry state of affairs when you lot treat people like this as if they were something to be proud of; frankly, we're much better off having them far away from our doorstep.🤣
