Journalists like @globeandmail's @curryb and @OttawaCitizen's @davidreevely tweeted racist and unverfied descriptions of the shooter.

The
@globeandmail's@curryb tweeting that the shooter looked aboriginal means NOTHING. Aboriginal peoples come in all colors. -
And, to be clear, that
@curryb thinks all aboriginal peoples all look one way is deeply anti-black. -
The
@OttawaCitizen's@davidreevely tweeting that the shooter looked South American means NOTHING. South Americans come in all colors. -
And, to be clear, that
@davidreevely thinks all South Americans all look one way is deeply anti-black. -
And these tweets are coming from a Guarani from South America. So I can speak with some authority here about what we look like.

I'm not even gonna touch the way Canada illustrated its profound Islamophobia today. For that, go to
@Rrrrnessa's timeline. -
.
@MotherJones ignoring the racist ways in which Canadian media was explicitly racist fits in with the US's myth-making about our neighbor. -
Canada is cast by white people in the U.S. to be an anti-racist heaven. It's not. If you listened to Canadians of color, you'd know that.
-
That white people in the US think Canadians did a good job covering today's shooting indicates how invested they are in white supremacy.
