Garci-Crespo Santalo: Things and Busking Licence

garci-crespo santalo: I felt frightened because of the things that have been happening in the United States with the El Paso shooting, he said, according to CTV. He said this wasn't his first brush with xenophobia since living in B.C. and that's why he felt compelled to share his story. Fernando Garci-Crespo Santalo, 20, says he was busking and singing a song in Spanish when the man claimed he was an off-duty immigration worker and demanded to see his documentation and his busking licence. There are things that have been overlooked -- that are just seen as bullying or a weird guy who's telling you something that is not nice -- but I think the accumulation of those events leads to hatred to things like what happened in El Paso, Garci-Crespo Santalo said. I'm very disturbed that Canadians are trying to emulate what's going on in the United States. Alan Dutton, the founder of Canadian Anti-Racism Education and Research Society, said he found the incident troubling. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
