RACISM in ALBERTA INCREASING. THE REST OF CANADA TOO?
As someone who grew up in a racist household, I can attest to their attitude is impossible to change.
What is the response for racial slurs? No one should have to accept it and live in fear. These bigots are too ignorant to grasp that their ancestors were immigrants.
If you hear one thrown at someone, would you speak up?
I hadn't seen my parents in 30 years when they showed at my sister's funeral. My partner insisted we take them to lunch. Before ordering, my father shouted to a server speaking Spanish, "This is America. Either speak American or go back to where you came from."
The man to whom he spoke was Puerto Rican. An American.
I left and never saw them again.

We hope this is isolated and not wide spread across the country to which we just immigrated.
Penelope and I know too well the face of bigotry. We've been attacked in Santa Barbara and Salinas, California but since moving to Vancouver, BC we've not encountered one person who comments on our relationship. Thank you Vancouver for making us feel so welcome.
