Whether you think they're from a place of hate, fear, anger, or ignorance should really be the determining factors. Of course some people won't even go so far as to ask themselves that and just blanket it with the term 'racism'.

Obviously youve drank the same Kool-Aid as our very fine "Canadian women" in this video.

You like riddles, Charles. Help me with this one;
Why is it that this woman should have her life turned upside down, "noble" Canadians patting each other on the back while making hateful comments. members of the Muslim community in "shock and horror", a full inquest into "Canada's racist problem" over a couple minutes of drunken comments, yet this man, a confessed killer of at least two, flew to Syria for the sole purpose of killing and returned to Canada back to his day to day life unchanged, is protected by our government?
I feel like the answer lies somewhere in their ethnicities.. Conservatives grill Goodale about Canadian ISIS fighter shortly before he recants murder claim | CBC News Quote:
Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale has refused to provide details on the status of a Canadian former ISIS fighter who made an apparent confession to an execution-style killing in Syria, saying police and security officials are taking all necessary steps to "keep Canadians safe."

Lots of people think that it is a "Prairie" or "hick" thing, but at the end of the day there are plenty more people like that pitiful excuse of a human being in Canada. Maybe she was one of the rare few who are a special kind of stupid to keep going on and on despite full knowledge she was being recorded but still....
Outside of urban centers, Canada still has a LOT of racism. We love to pat ourselves on the back about how much more tolerant and diverse we are than the United States but I don't believe that is the case. I think Canada is just as bad as the USA but racist people know better (for the most part) than to spout off their views in front of a camera. Hell, look at the comments sections of any news article detailing the Colten Boushie incident. Indigenous and Whites going back and forth with racial slurs against each other. Canada ain't much better....
When my parents first immigrated to Canada, they came to Edmonton and experienced a ton of racism. It was so bad that my dad, who was in the Philippine marines - aka he is and was a very tough man - still doesn't talk about it. Even to this day, I remember walking around Ottawa with my girlfriend who is White and getting dirty looks from older Caucasian people. I remember stopping at a Tim Hortons between Ottawa and Montreal with my buddy who is from Trinidad, and people openly giving us the "stink eye" and whispering in French to each other while staring right at us. I've been called every racist name in the book, and I grew up in Vancouver.... I can't imagine how bad it could be for minorities in non-urban areas.
TL;DR racism is very much alive and well in Canada. Notice how it's only other White people who are getting so appalled at this video. The rest of us minorities are all thinking about a time where similar incidents have happened to us.

This environment of racism is socially engineered by the elites. Quote:

First of all the Indian cabbie that was cornered in the middle of Golden Ears bridge and had his face smashed in with an iron bar, breaking his bones and teeth knocked out was never pursued by the police. No description, nothing.
Are we to believe "Big Brother" has no working cameras tracking everyones movements?
The reason why this raciest women came into light is because it went viral (seems by millions around the world with sites like WSHH) and the zionist media doesnt want to credibility on not reporting it.
But on another note, because the Anglo Zionist empire wants a one world government with isreal as its capital, you can bet that in the future they'll be trying to put anyone criticizing isreal as an anti-Semitic raciest and taking them to court. Quote:

I feel like the answer lies somewhere in their ethnicities.. | And the riddle with Syrian "moderate" terrorists being welcomed back here is because Canada doesnt deny paying their salaries to topple Assad. They're isreali soldiers as is any other western soldier.

Agreed. For me, I just think of it as Michael Jordan being booed in at the Garden. That's how I coped with it when I was younger.
Off topic, I was at the Flamingo Pool Party and Tone Loc performed last Thursday - so epic.
