With the #Raptors about to hit the global stage, I’m going to share a story about what makes Toronto, and Canada, so special. It’s about a guy you’re going to be seeing a whole lot of.
A Thread.
[Hint: It's about racism, sports, and why you'll end up cheering for ??]
quote:
In any other city (looking at you, MIL), a guy like Nav might stand out. But not in Toronto. We’re a place where immigration works. Multuculturalism works. Ask anyone who’s been to a Raps game and they’ll tell you it’s the most diverse place in the world.
quote:
You’ll hear a dozen languages, see black guys in dreads hanging out with Korean guys eating poutine. In other cities, that would be weird. In Toronto, it’s perfectly normal. It’s how the 6ix rolls. Take this pic. How many colors/ethnicities can you see? At least a dozen.
quote:
So when you see a guy like Nav, you’re not just looking at a superfan.
You’re looking at the story of Toronto.
It’s why a guy like Charles Barkley loves the city. It's why @Shaq @KingJames and others others come here every summer.
It’s what makes Canada special.
quote:
That while the world is building walls, Canada is building bridges.
A guy like @superfan_nav is our best symbol of that.
He’s not just a guy from Toronto. He *is* Toronto.
A place where people work hard, make it, and still care enough to give back.
quote:
Basketball can be more than just a game.
When the finals tip-off on Thursday, the world is going to see Toronto being Toronto: Diverse, strong, caring.
And there’ll be a 67-year old Sikh turbaned guy leading the charge.
And you know what, we're okay with that.
END

Didn't know the Sultan was a Raptors fan. You think he valets his magic carpet?

i want to point out that this guy somehow missed the irony of sucking torontos dick about how accepting it is of other cultures while also making the point that this dude could not get an engineering job when he immigrated and was forced to take a car sales job in a shitty part of town

I swear the whole snowflake thing was such a projection.

Or maybe this is subtle reference to SirWinston and the tweeter is anti-metrosexual?

This is why Malice at the Palace was so damn funny to me. The most notable participants were a microcosm of Detroit. We had Jews, Arabs and blacks all united in a common cause for once.

An immature Bucks fan tweeted that he didn't know who was the more annoying Raptors fan: Drake or the Indian guy courtside with underwear on his head.

i missed that. did he seriously just write a response article from one tweet 
Posted on 5/30/19 at 2:14 pm to WestCoastAg
You neglected to mention when that douche said this:
quote:
Just got off the phone with Nav. I asked him what he'd tell the world about Canada, he said:
"Other counties might be richer, but they’re not richer in mannerisms, politeness, or looking after each other.. And the country south of us has a lot to learn."

Why would this remotely be weird?
Pretty racist of the writer to assume that.

Posted on 5/30/19 at 2:18 pm to McCaigBro69
