18. How many stereotypes are in that cartoon? 1. Chow in Mao Suit (she's Red Chinese commie) 2. dwarfish 3. slant eyed 4. doing laundry
19. Donato, cartoonist behind this masterpiece, has been at the Sun since day one in 1971. He's integral to newspaper's identity & racism.
20. John Tory, likely next mayor of Toronto, says he white privilege doesn't exist.
21. White privilege is fact Donato has been working in Canadian newspaper longer than virtually anyone.
22. White privilege is Toronto Sun's racism is rarely criticized but just seen as a normal part of the media eco-system.
23. White privilege is that Toronto Sun has a columnist who wrote Obama is a secret Muslim and she's still a powerful voice
24. White privilege is Toronto Sun has a columnist who has fomented a hate campaign against an Arab-Canadian running for school board.
25. That Donato cartoon didn't come out of nowhere. There's a terrible history here which needs to be examined and exorcised.
26. A digression -- because this is about race I won't even mention the gay-baiting the Sun has engaged in since 1971. But that's also there
27. Correction to point #24. Candidate is South Asian-Canadian, not Arab-Canadian.
28. Onus here isn't just on Sun. When was last time Globe, Star or CBC discussed Sun's racism in any depth?
