Dear Canada, It’s Not Just America Struggling With Systemic Racism

I’ve lived abroad a lot of my life, and it looks to me like many countries are using some cheap and easy criticism of American racism to whitewash (so to speak) their own problems with racism and bigotry. It’s a global problem, and just using the US as an almost-literal scapegoat is not going to help.

If anything, the US is a canary in the coal mine for many other nations that have steadily increasing minority populations, for what happens when the ethnic majority actually sees their majority status about to fall. Canada has done pretty well comparatively, but are less than 20% minority population across the country. The UK has a little over 10%. Most countries in the world are still de facto ethnostates.
