I know it's very uncomfortable raising the issue of racism, but the fact is that we need to call racism out for what it is. As uncomfortable as it might be, that is the only way we can identify the problem and address the problem. Running away from or trying to whitewash the problem doesn't solve it.
Yes, this is a clear case of racism and we should call it that. We should be having conversations around this problem, with a clear framework of how to address it. The problem is there. We shouldn't run away from it.
I'm not running away from it. I'm very happy to discuss it and offer up solutions as to how we can deal with it, even at the IRCC level.
