    Canadians are racist AF towards indigenous folk. They fucking hate us, and take every opportunity to make our lives worse.

      Especially in Manitoba and Saskatchewan where my god the racism ratchets up to 11.

        If you grew up near that culture and are aware of the history and have empathy for their struggle, do you not see how unhelpful and unnecessarily pedantic your response to an understanably frustrated and fed up post is?
        If a good portion of the majority oppressing you is invested in keeping you disempowered and often actively attacking you, would you feel the need to painstakingly qualify your outrage/desperation? Maybe put your ego aside and spend more energy trying to be a part of the solution, and less on whatever you think you’re doing here

          … do you not see how unhelpful and unnecessarily pedantic your response to an understanably frustrated and fed up post is …

          Pedants are almost as bad as pederasts at the whole thinking things through from the others’ perspective before taking actions.

        Pedantically criticizing the language of an indigenous person who is pleading for human rights is not a good look, my dude.

      You fucked up the punctuation there, and your wording is a bit off. Let me fix that for you:

      Canadians are racist AF.

      There. That pretty much fixes everything.
