letter to NP re racism

Sinem Ketenci, a woman of Turkish origin, claims she cannot be racist because "she, as a racialized woman, cannot be racist." It is time for the majority of Canadians to look honestly at our minorities and people of colour,and the "oppressed" people of other lands and admit that they may be racist against whites, Christians, Jews, and other races, religions, or tribes. Being "oppressed" or a minority or "people of colour" doesn't make them free from prejudice or evil. Multiculturalism does not mean giving a free pass to harmful ideas or culture of minorities, or of people with different cultures or religions who live in foreign lands. The faster we realize this, the better off Canadians will be.
