I agree with most of what you say, but I would disavow the use of the word "aggression".

From Wikipedia:

"In psychology and other social and behavioral sciences, aggression refers to behavior that is intended to cause harm or pain. Aggression can be either physical or verbal. Behavior that accidentally causes harm or pain is not aggression. Property damage and other destructive behavior may also fall under the definition of aggression. Aggression is not the same thing as assertiveness."

Great post, i've mentioned this also when i have conversations with fellow Canadians. White Canadian will get mad when someone of another race is moving up the ladder, but yet they have nothing to say about the French who want nothing to do with the English.(I remember when I was young and Quebec was trying to split and be independent from Canada) Goes to show how much white Canadians don't even know the history of Canada and the ongoing battling between French and English..
