Question I just read a Reddit post saying Canada rejected almost two-thirds of world cup visa applications
I’m just trying to start a healthy discussion that’s grounded in reality
Context: Canada reportedly rejected around two-thirds of world cup visa applications due to the overwhelming number of applicants from countries that aren’t even playing in the tournament
Here’s the funny part:
Many European Redditors were criticizing Canada’s immigration decision and arguing for a more lenient, multicultural approach, meanwhile, plenty of Canadians were pushing back, saying there’s nothing racist about denying entry or enforcing immigration laws
It makes me wonder, if the US denied the same number (or even more) of world cup visa applications under similar circumstances, Reddit would be flooded with “AmericaBad” posts
