  Obviously this person was rude.  Unfortunately in this flawed world there will always be a minority of rude and bigoted people.  Most people are not.
  
  More government imposed multiculturalism is not going to lessen encounters with rude people.  Canada is a secular liberal democracy with some fading Christian influences.  Multiculturalism has failed everywhere it has been tried.  Asking newcomers to make an effort to adapt to the larger culture is not a symptom of bigotry.
  
  You seem like an accomplished person who is contributing much to Canada.  Spending a lot of your time stressing because of an unpleasant encounter at a restaurant would seem to be a poor use of your time.
