Abstract
the dominant group, whilst the "foreigners" had to accept to be separated from them and live in bad housing.Incoming immigrants and their families were often put together in ghettos. Native AmerindiansThe Canadian economy grew quickly, the problem was, however, that not everybody had access to wealth.Cook (1997: 434-437) points out the traumatic shock the Indians had to face when their land was taken away from them.They were put into reservations and had to sign treaties.The aim of the politicians was to assimilate the Amerindians into the dominating ethnic group-the whites.In this case we could speak of a "melting pot", this simile would only work, if Amerindians were given the same rights.They existed physically, but not politically.The assimilation process initiated by the whites was very prescriptive, they were not allowed their traditional dances any more and were told to change their social structure.Agriculture, formerly in the hands of women, was forced upon the men.This was humiliation because it was hard for them to give up hunting and trapping, doing women`s work instead.A further imposition in the life of Amerindians was christianization.Religious beliefs and traditional dances were replaced by Christian religion.Many escaped the reservations, heading for the cities where they ended up as alcoholics or prostitutes.Boyko (1995:123-125) takes an even more critical approach concerning Canada` s immigration policy.The title of his book already suggests its position "Last steps to freedom: the evolution of Canadian racism".When Pearl Harbor was attacked on December 7, 1941 The United States of America declared war and entered WW II.This represented a traumatic event in the history of the US, and led to deep hostility toward Japanese in the US as well as in Canada.Canadian officials feared attacks on North America` s west coast and deported or imprisoned Japanese Canadians living on the coast, Japanese Canadians

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
