I knew there were differences with indigenous and the rest of Canada (saying the rest because there is multi culture here like UK) I brought my disabled clients to a dance at the Ukrainian center and a indigenous worker called me a colonizer....in a dance that was for the disabled clients she brings her politics...unbelievable for her to be so arrogant.

No. The definition of racism is negative views of another race + privilege. Only whites have privilege, therefor only white people can be racist. You should know the definition. Now, if you don't like this marxist definition, then don't use marxist language at all. The very word 'racism' is marxist, first given ideological prominence by Lev Davidovich Bronstein, aka Leon Trotsky. You can't accept marxist language but then lecture marxist on what the words they invented and pushed mean. And by the way, the control the narrative so good luck 'proving' to them that their definitions are faulty.

@@sandraowens4821 it sounds like you're a balanced person though, she clearly isn't. The problem is right there, if your thought process defaults to see race everywhere then it's you who's got the issue as normal people don't go around looking for solutions in racism for every situation and problem in their lives as they understand there are numerous factors and other alternatives to consider. I feel this is why so many people have clung onto this and got behind it, people are tired of being told "all white people are racist" while the real racists are given public platforms to belittle and discriminate against white individuals while complaining about how underprivileged they supposedly are. I can't think of any non white majority country where you could go, insult the local population regularly, and receive little to no backlash - from that perspective in terms of races who's actually got the privilege in 2023 in the UK? Every race has some individuals who suffer from their ancestry, I don't buy the "oppressed due to slavery" line anymore as at some stage people need to take accountability of their own life and push it in the direction they want it to go rather than simply making excuses using the past as to why their life hasn't turned out the way they want it to.
