Last week, we had the news of the detention at the US/Canadian border of Welsh comic maker Becky Burke. But what about the wider implications for comic makers travelling to the US or Canada? Well, it’s not good.

Unsure why Canada is even mentioned. The problems in the article are the result of USA insanity. Comic book artists can come to Canada and avoid the USA without facing these issues. Why anyone would even consider visiting the USA, or expect special treatment with Trump constantly screaming xenophobic shit is beyond my understanding.
I think a part of the answer there is: White people did not expect to be treated the way PoC already are.
