An example, a real example, was Linda Bull, a professor at Athabasca University in this province. She was accused of shoplifting in the Safeway. She was so shocked and so disillusioned, and so angry and so frustrated. They eventually apologized to her, because of course it was nonsense, but they said it was a case of mistaken identity. So all they went on was her appearance.
You know, as an advocate with the Institute for the Advancement of Aboriginal Women, it shouldn't surprise me, although it always has, that in cases where an aboriginal woman was found dead...or where, as this happened, the police beat this woman. I thought, well, this can't happen. It shouldn't happen. Then I took a look at her picture. I think the element of how Indian you look is very important. If you don't look really Indian, you get better treatment.
