A black man was forced to pay upfront at a Chinese restaurant. He got his meal — and $10,000.
Nah. The US still looks really crappy. We have so many stories of discrimination, prejudice, and outright racism here in this country.
No.
@Iglooo Why? Because it was handled by the Human Rights Tribunal, racial profiling was found to have wrongly happened, and damages were awarded? Would that have happened in the U.S.?
Canada isn’t perfect but to say it makes the U.S. look good when it comes to race is laughable.
p.s. Your link doesn’t work.
Canada is not immune to such issues:

“Muslim community’s hijab event cancelled over security concerns, venue says”
@TomSrOfBoston Who said it was immune?
No it doesn’t. They weren’t arrested, shot, or beaten. And they got compensation.
And there are umpteen million more where none of that happens. They just don’t make the 24/7 news.
Any amount is too much. Arguing that 99% of the time there isn’t racism doesn’t mean the remaining 1% isn’t significant or worthy of attention. Most people don’t murder either but we don’t ignore the murders and the murderers. Sorry, not buying your “logic” at all.
To the OP - just no.
Racism anywhere is just wrong. Period.
You don’t have to buy my logic, but to say the “US looks really crappy” isn’t true.
^In the specific context of the OP’s article, comment, and topic of comparison, yes it is. He posted one article about discrimination. Sadly, we could follow with hundreds from the US with a quick Google source, many of which ended worse. So yeah, opening the topic up for comparison, which the OP does, makes the US look pretty bad, the opposite of what the post says.
