Jarrett,

Your assumption that because she's white, she's racist herself and doesn't interact with others of a different race than hers...even when she has to lamentably posit that she has lunch once a week with a Black friend.

Her main point is that it's not just white people who hold mistaken beliefs about a person because of the colour of his or her skin.

For instance, in Canada, while our history is not without heinous acts of racism, unfortunately some in our Indigenous leadership, and their virtue signalling enablers, think it's de rigueur to label all white people as 'colonizers', infected with a 'settler mentality', which makes all white Canadians guilty for the sins of the past, and in many recent immigrant cases, not even the sins of their ancestors.

While your assumption is not even remotely close to the above, neither are a healthy way to encourage dialogue.

Indeed, it just pushes people into colour-based 'camps' or worse 'voting blocks'

And, in Canada, where our population is 74% white, that's a very dangerous path to walk. Indeed, the next candidate for our Conservative Party, Pierre Marcel Poilievre, has torn a page from Donald Trump's divisive demagogic playbook.

Look what's happened to the US?

It would be impossible to not see that the Republican party is appealing to white voters.
