Racism Racism: Racism and Cripples Generations

racism racism: While easy to castigate such offensiveness, this vulgar display is nothing compared to the more serious aspects of racism, according to Toronto Star. Racism which breaks up families, cripples generations, keeps them impoverished and continues to have deadly consequences is structural, systemic and largely invisible except to those who experience it. Overt racism still shocks people, especially those who don't experience racism themselves. Being affronted by this instance of racism in Mississauga might signify individual decency, but does not meaningfully erase complicity with benefitting from racist structures. I wrote a column attempting to peel back another the layer of bias inherent in seeking an English-speaking doctor when those at the clinic were already speaking English. Still, this is the shockwave of the moment, and openly demanding to see a white doctor is obviously racist. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
