I am so grateful to have been born in Canada. I’m acutely aware of how much better my life is compared to if I had been born in either of my parents’ homelands. I love Canada and being Canadian. That’s why being told ‘go back to your country’ hurt so much. /1
I know Trump wasnt saying it w the same intent as the ppl who spat it at me, but it’s reminiscent of it. It smelled like it. It was similar. It was still wrong. I always asked my mother: if you hate it so much-why are you still here? It’s a valid question /2
But it was not a valid response from President to a Congresswoman when it’s her job to criticize the govt. I know the bar is so low now and we’ve lost all sense of what should be Presidential behavior, but those comments are so dangerous because they’ve opened a floodgate /3
I’m enraged that Richard Spencer was on CNN responding to this issue. How is his ilk normalized and on mainstream media now? Everyone gets called racist all day so now the word has no meaning to the point that white supremacists are getting invited on shows like anyone else?? /4
The word still has a meaning. Sometimes it’s grey and muddy and sometimes it’s neon fucking yellow. Normalizing the grey and muddy rolls out the red carpet for the neon fucking yellow. /5
For those not getting it: I don’t like any of the ‘squad’ and I will not defend their actions. That’s not the point of this rant. Trump could have criticized them without invoking racist sounding language. That is the issue here. He crossed the line. /6
The lines are all blurry. When both Trump and Pelosi get called racist in the same week...you might as well get Richard Fucking Spence on CNN because nobody knows where any lines are now anyway.
I as a white woman will never know what it feels like to be told to go back where you came from. You have my heart. I am so sorry this continues to happen. 
Thank you, Wendy. Most Canadians, no...the overwhelming majority of Canadians are the kindest most gracious ppl on the planet. Though there are a few rotten apples, they do not represent our core 
Grateful that there are intelligent, moral, and well spoken public figures like @YasMohammedxx speaking sense. Most of the discord is so exhausting lately.
