I'm not sure why wyte ppl think that Canada's racism problem is any less than it is in the US. Canada has a fraction of the population but wyte ppl don't shed themselves of racism as soon as you cross the border.https://twitter.com/kinsellawarren/status/1321754583400591361 …
If your response to colonialism is, well everyone else took someone else’s land! Then it means that you are a) excusing the ongoing genocide of Indigenous people and b) derailing a very legitimate and necessary discussion with whataboutism bullshit.

And literally no one was assigning moral or intellectual abilities to skin colour. Bye.

What do you think his “wypipo” was referring to if not skin color? Do we want to alienate people by demonizing them according to accidents of birth, painting them with a brush all races are painted with? Or do we want to sacrifice the pleasures of self-righteousness for unity?

The atrocities and injustices perpetrated by colonialism were and are an outrage. I just think it’s hypocritical to pin them on one race, when very few cultures (the Buddhist Ashoka in India comes to mind, in one case) DIDN’T conquer to expand their territory, often ruthlessly.
