DiversiTea
Hey Winnipeg,
How about a cuppa tea with
someone new today, someone
from a different culture, sexual
orientation, religion or national-ity.
According to the Pakistani
tradition, after you have con-sumed
three cups of tea with a
person you become their friend.
That is so neat and simple pre-requisite
for friendship.
We are fortunate to be living in
one of the most diverse cities in
the world. The world has come to
Winnipeg and we must take
advantage of that. Learning
about a different culture is neces-sary
to life in the 21st century.
There is no turning back the clock
on this and the survivors will be
those who are flexible, culturally
competent and and have an open
mind.
Tea is a universal drink and
that’s why we’ve chosen it as a
symbol for this publication.
1. Terms of “endearment” such
as “sweetie,” “hon” or “cutie.”
2. “You’ve lost weight” or “You
look so much better.”
3. Any kind of sexual comment.
4. “Is it that time of the month?”
or “Women are so emotional.”
5. “You aren’t as aggressive
with your subordinates as you
should be. You need to be more
forceful and tougher.” “These
are code words for being more
‘manly,’” says Barbara Frankel,
6. “You only got the job because
you’re a woman.”
7. “Do you really want that
promotion? You’ll never see
your kids.”
8. “You do that so well for a girl.”
9. “Are you pregnant?” or “When
are you due?”
10. Don’t fish for her qualifications.
Congratulations to:
Pilgrim Baptist Church for
achieving its 90th anniversary.
This Church has and continues to
be a resource for black families
in Winnipeg but its open to
all.The Church celebrated this
event with a dinner on Saturday
September 25 at the Travelodge
on Fermor.

at Sun Life for celebrating her
25th anniversary with a gala
event for her supporters and

back something and better to give
than receive. Yayyyy!
Cultural Grammar
Ethnocentrism -
The tendancy to evaluate other’s
culture by one’s own cultural
norms and values.
Cultural Competence
The ability to understand,
appreciate, and interact with
persons from cultures and/or belief
systems other than one’s own,
based on various factors
cultural assimilation
a process by which members of
an ethnic minority group lose
cultural characteristics that
distinguish them from the
dominant cultural group or take on
the cultural characteristics of
another group.
Cultural Diversity is not one-sided.
It does not mean everyone
has to confform to your way of
thinking. For example if your
neighbour puts up a sign on their
front lawan that says enough
immigrants, enough black people,
enough asian people etc. even
though you may not agree with it,
you have to respect a person’s
right to their opinion. Where it
becomes dicey is if it they use that
belief to deny such people their
basic rights under the Human
Rights Code.
We also have to know that not all
people with extremist views are
bad or dangerous. Immigrants who
exhibit the-close-the-gate-behind-me
syndrome, meaning that once
they are in and can flash their
Canadiann citizenship card they
start complaining about Govern-ment
bringing in more people
when it cannot find jobs for those
who are already here. There are
people with narrow minds and
those with broad minds.
You know where a person falls by
what they say. Next time pay
attention to what people say and
learn about their beliefs about
diversity and inclusion.
Equity involves trying to
understand and give people what they
need to enjoy full, healthy lives.
Equality, in contrast, aims to ensure
that everyone gets the same things in
order to enjoy full, healthy lives.
Like equity, equality aims to
promote fairness and justice, but it
can only work if everyone starts from
the same place and needs the same
things.
Fairness sometimes does not
work and people who have been
historically disadvantaged remains
disadvantaged because they have
been disadvantaged and did not
have the privilege of good
education, good parenting, good
etiquette and good role model for
workplace behaviours. Equity is
finding a mentor for such a person
and help them to be successful.

Threatened with blackmail over private
correspondence with the Prince of
Wales, stage darling Lily Langtry turns
to ingenious detective Sherlock
Holmes to get them back. With the
nation’s most precious jewels and the
reputation of the monarchy at stake,
Bread and Tea go well together
Armenian Bread
Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup margarine
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ cup lukewarm water
- 2 teaspoons white sugar
- 2 (¼ ounce) envelopes active dry yeast
- 5 eggs
- 6 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ tablespoons ground mahleb
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Method:
1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine
the milk, butter and margarine. Heat until
butter and margarine are melted, but do not
let it boil. Stir in 1 cup of sugar until
dissolved, then set aside to cool to
lukewarm.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, dissolve 2
teaspoons of sugar in warm water. Sprinkle
the yeast over the surface, and let stand until
frothy, about 10 minutes.
3. Crack the eggs into a large bowl, and stir a
little to break up the yolks. Slowly pour in
the heated milk mixture while whisking
constantly, so as to temper the eggs and not
cook them.
4. Add the yeast mixture, and stir just until
blended.
5. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking
powder, mahleb and salt. Make a well in the
centre and pour in the wet mixture. Stir until
it forms a sticky dough. Pour onto a floured
surface and knead in additional flour as
needed to make a more substantial dough.
Knead for about 10 minutes. Place in an
oiled bowl, and set in a warm place to rise
for about 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
6. When the dough has doubled, punch down
again, and let rise until doubled. It will only
take about half as long this time.
7. Separate the dough into 5 even portions,
then separate each of those into thirds. Roll
each of those into ropes about 12 inches
long. Braid sets of three ropes together,
pinching the ends to seal, and tucking them
under for a better presentation. Place the
loaves onto baking sheets lined with
parchment paper. Loaves should be spaced 4
inches apart. Set in a warm place to rise until
your finger leaves an impression behind
when you poke the loaf gently.
8. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175
degrees C). Brush the loaves with beaten
egg, and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if
desired.
9. Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated
oven, or until nicely golden brown all over.

Quotable Quotes
“We need to give each other the
space to grow, to be ourselves, to
exercise our diversity. We need to
give each other space so that we
may both give and receive such
beautiful things as ideas,
openness, dignity, joy, healing, and
inclusion.”
— Max de Pree
“Diversity in the world is a basic
characteristic of human society,
and also the key condition for a
lively and dynamic world as we
