No, "white" is not a slur, but saying "You're just a white girl so your opinion doesn't matter" is at least kind of troubling IMO.

If you think the problem with Canadian media and academia is white voices get dismissed too often, you are truly an imbecile.

@desmonddapena didn't remotely imply that persecution against whites is the problem in Canadian media or academia, Racism is unacceptable, and dismissing her bc she's white is racist.

I think it's telling that some people are more up in arms over "white" than they are over Sheppard's dismissal of free speech of a POC (Khan).

I think it's telling that you're qualifying this conversation by a person's participation in a separate issue. If you don't think what she said was racist, you should tell us why. Instead, you've just dismissed the conversation.

The notion her comment is racist is based on the idea that whites & POC are equal in Canada, which is obviously false.
