Say what? Canada changes the 100$ bill because the women in the bill looked too Asian.

So what is so offensive about an Asian Canadian woman on a bill?
No one in America flipped their shit with Sacagawea on the goals dollar coin

No problem with the monument but I find the queen's face obscene and offensive.

They are taking that bill out of circulation. :(
Why don't they put different cultured people on each note?
Wait, but then people would complain because one race would be on the $100, implying they are "better".
You can't win against Racism. Better to just ignore it completely, the ones bitching about it are the ones keeping it alive, or having double standards. You shouldn't think White, Black, Asian etc. when you look at someone, you should just see the person.
Didn't one of the old Canadian bills have an aboriginal guy on it.

that actually looks pretty awesome. i wish the UK had some unique designs like that
I've always loved the look of Canadian money, and some of the newer ones have little facts on them, or landmarks, makes me proud when I see them.
[QUOTE=Turnips5;37303745]hahahah, a "neutral ethnicity" aka white
terrible[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;37303892]you can't just represent a single minority on it!!!
just slap a white person on and then it's fair
because if you can't represent all the minorities, you might as well just have a white guy
this is how equality works[/QUOTE]
You guys hit the nail on the head. This pretty much defines racism in a "post racial society."

This is the only way to be completely ethnically neutral.
Sheesh, this is a bit much, honestly. Who even looks at money and thinks up problems with it, imagining Asian-like-features on people? I don't see a single thing Asian about it.. just a girl with Meryl's haircut, big whoop? I absolutely love our money, it makes paying quickly SO much easier than, say, American money. We can just see "oh, I need to pay ~$15, that's one purple (10) and one blue (5)" instead of "oh fuck these all look the exact same god help which is which"
People are over reacting waaaay too much on this, it's ridiculous. It's a lady, pretty bland I might add, I can't tell if she's any race for that matter just from her features.

The Canadian 20 is like, my favorite fucking thing in the world man
I mean mainly cause I live here
but anytime I've got one of those in my pocket I feel like a baller.
Our money here is usually compared to Monopoly, its odd to see people like it.

irregardless is not a real word
This reminds me of when they discontinued a $2 bill because they found "the face of the devil" in the Queen's hair.

Man, I'm really liking the design of these new bills. They look pretty damn cash.

I still don't understand this. The monument there is a WWI memorial. What's funny is that the Vimy memorial was completed in 1936, and WTC 1 & 2 were completed in the early '70s. The Vimy existed for less than 40 years before the WTC even existed, so how in the fuck is it going to be offensive?
[QUOTE=DOG-GY;37308379]irregardless is not a real word[/QUOTE]
Nope, it is.

Still kind of pointless to use, though.

its an informal and nonstandard word, not a real word. it's used out of ignorance and only is used at all because it was popularized
IMO they should plaster some famous natives & inuits on there. I'd like that.
I'm going to be pretty damn offended if they remove the image of the Vimy Memorial for something as trivial as that.
