I never really felt "at home" or comfortable in Toronto (it was sucking the life out of me), so I had no qualms about leaving. I miss my friends and family who remain, but to stay for them would have been at the expense of my sanity.
Perhaps the "whiter pastures" are getting fewer and far between, but they still exist. I'm not really of the opinion that they will cease to exist. There are many areas in Europe with people who are fiercely proud of their heritage and who are not willing to acquiesce to the non-white incomers. I'm seeing a right-wing trend in Europe, and that's really exciting! People are not content to be complacent. My job affords me the ability to move around a lot and I've made plans to spend several months in the small village where my father's family is from originally (about 40 minutes outside Vienna). I visited for a few days last summer, and it was incredible for me to be among my people, who look like me and who hold the same ideals as I do. I have the option to live/work/study in Europe, so why not?
If you haven't already, I'd urge you to travel or study or work in Europe for a time. It will really open your eyes. Toronto is going to become the next Sao Paulo!!
On another note, as I'm in Toronto at the moment, where would one go to be among like-minded individuals? I've heard Queen West, but how far west?
