      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?

      29. Final point: a lot of racism discussion in Toronto has focused on the Fords. And it's true that they odious.

      30. But the Ford's didn't come out of nowhere. They emerged out of a culture, of which Toronto Sun is a major pillar.

      32. Actually one last point: does anyone think that John Tory is the mayor to address & solve the history of racism I've outlined here?

          @SeptembreA @HeerJeet Is there a way to take on The Sun itself? Are politicians who grant them interviews complicit?

          @HeerJeet uhhhhhhhhhhhh... If White Privilege doesn't exist in his view then he is probably not the best candidate for that job.
