		<description>Sad that Japanese has not even made a point-something demographic dent in the GTA, anywhere.

This explains my ongoing inability to have Japanese cuisine ordered and delivered on-demand, to all points of the GTA compass, with the ease of a pizza or Chinese food.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;@Marcus:&lt;/strong&gt; Well, a &lt;em&gt;mostly&lt;/em&gt; civil comment! I think we might be able to converse now.

Dig through the archives of this blog -- I usually point to some kind of data or provide some kind of citation to back up my statements.

I like Ontario -- and Canada -- and don&#039;t have any problem with white people in general -- to use to hackneyed line, some of my best friends are white. I think you&#039;ve interpreted &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.joeydevilla.com/2007/12/20/photo-of-the-day-2/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this posting&lt;/a&gt; -- which is &lt;em&gt;one&lt;/em&gt; photo, not &lt;em&gt;twenty&lt;/em&gt; -- as a symptom of some kind of Malcolm X syndrome I have. 

All I want is the same opportunity to live well, have meaningful work, make my own contribution to the mix and enjoy a fine single malt every now and again (and it&#039;s worked out pretty well for me). &quot;Revenge against whitey&quot; isn&#039;t on my list.

As for Ruby, that&#039;s a matter of personal preference. To each his own.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m impressed to see a Torontonian reference data so thoroughly.  That&#039;s a really, really good start.  Bonus points for not injecting too much passive-aggresive commentary.  Here&#039;s hoping 2008 brings more factually accurate documentable discussion.

Ontario passed its first anti-discrimination legislation in 1946.  It&#039;s now 2008.  If, after 60 years of &quot;fighting&quot; &quot;racism&quot;, brown guys are still spectacularly hostile towards white people, anglo-saxons in particular, then it&#039;s time to shut &#039;er down and call it a failure.  And yes, brown guys posting twenty consecutive &quot;funny&quot; photos of white people acting goofy is in fact hostile, considering you&#039;d go running to the human rights commission if we reciprocated in kind.

Generations of white guys in Canada have done stuff to make your life less of a hassle, Joey, and it would be nice if we got something other than a slap in the face for our efforts.  You may now commence rebutting with a fifth consecutive attack on my sanity which, coming from a Ruby &quot;programmer&quot;, really, really hurts.</description>
