I associate those areas with uniformly white and middle to upper middle class children with caring parents not struggling for money . That ' s your ignorance then . You are painting with a very broad brush . Some people in these suburbs have come from broken homes . They have struggled with money . They have struggled drug abuse . They have struggled with the same demons as people from all corners of the planet . It ' s tremendously ignorant of you to dismiss the challenges they have faced and overcome . You ' d be a fool to think everyone in the suburbs is the same based on your seemingly limited experiences . Again . Maybe you want to speak with my neighbour who came to Canada with no money and no English skills . He now lives in a 3000 square foot house with two BMWs in his garage . He worked his ass off and his hands to the bone to provide very well for his family . Be sure to explain to him how it was privilege that got him to the suburbs . Maybe you want to talk to some Jews , or their children or grandchildren that suffered during the holocaust arguably FAR worse than what Canadian indigenous peoples faced about their privilege . They suffered unspeakable horrors and now , generally are tremendously successful . So privileged . So privileged .
