The definition of racism taught to Toronto students in grades 7 - 12, as outlined in this course guide, is that only whites are racists. Here it is in all its disgusting ugliness:
Racism: While people in different contexts can experience prejudice or discrimination,This is truly beyond belief. One need only mention the racist activities of Blacks against Whites in the United States, or of Blacks against Asians, or of Latinos against Whites. The fact is that racism is universal and should be dealt with as a universal issue. If the Board is going to discuss a complex issue like this, it needs to give examples from every group in North American society.
racism, in a North American context, is based on an ideology of the superiority of the white race over other racial groups. Racism is evident in individual acts, such as racial slurs, jokes, etc. and institutionally, in terms of policies and practices at institutional levels of society. The result of institutional racism is that it maintains white privilege and power (such as racial profiling, hiring practices, history and literature that centre on Western, European civilizations to the exclusion of other civilizations and communities). The social, systemic, and personal assumptions, practices, and behaviours that discriminate against persons according to their skin colour, hair texture, eye shape, and other superficial physical characteristics.
Like the Reginald Denny incident during the Los Angeles riots or the attacks by blacks on Korean store owners on the second day of the same riots.
Or to go back a short distance in time, the genocidal anti-White activities of the revolutionary government of Haiti. Here's Wikipedia:
On January 1, 1804 Dessalines then declared independence,reclaiming the indigenous Taíno name of Haiti ("Land of Mountains") for the new nation. Most of the remaining French colonists fled ahead of the defeated French army, many migrating to Louisiana or Cuba. Unlike Toussaint, Dessalines showed little equanimity with regard to the whites. In a final act of retribution, the remaining French were slaughtered by Haitian military forces. Some 2 000 Frenchmen were massacred at Cap-Français, 900 in Port-au-Prince, and 400 at Jérémie. He issued a proclamation declaring, "we have repaid these cannibals, war for war, crime for crime, outrage for outrage.I'll bet that incident, which led eventually to the economic destruction of Haiti in more recent times, isn't taught in the Toronto school system.
Please take a moment and write to politicians in Ontario and Ottawa and protest this course guide, and indeed the whole thrust of this appalling program. Do it today.
