At least here in vancouver, if you go to east hastings almost every single homeless person is either white or indigenous, despite the official data saying something different. I know why indigenous face these issues, but why so many white people? Is it because most of them originated in a rural area and moved here? The homeless demographic looks completely different than the demographic of the city itself.
Hop the border to seattle and it seems like homeless people are usually black or latino, which makes a lot more logical sense to me.
It makes sense because those minorities are oppressed, what did you take from what I said?
I think what they mean is when you say “it makes sense”, it sounds like you’re signalling “that’s how it ought to be”.
Obviously you didn’t mean to convey that meaning, but maybe don’t get into politics.
fortunately, OP is not a politician, doesn’t have to worry about very contrived misreadings.
You never know. There’s lots of assholes on here with certain prejudices. But thanks for clearing it up.
Perhaps look in the mirror.
That was uncalled for.
Why? You showed up scolding others while simultaneously revealing that it is you that misunderstands the plight of the Indigenous people of Canada. Most people with basic compassion and a remote awareness of our social issues wouldn’t approach the way you did.
edit: So I’m saying again, look in the mirror, for it is you that needs to expand your awareness
Why are you being so mean to me? What did I ever do to you? I wanted some clarification from OP and they gave it to me, removing any doubt in my mind that they were racist.
You’re being a little overzealous here. cyber meant no ill will here, just acted a bit hypersensitively perhaps.
