I very much agree with you that this will end racism but only in the last instance. We cannot just ignore the horrible past that affects First Nations to this day. That past needs to be acknowledged and understood how it still disenfranchises them. By simply saying you're equal to us now, only does so in rhetoric. We need to look at how real issues class, capital and land are working to marginalize them and give them the proper foundation to rebuild their shattered societies. It may seem that they get preferential treatment but after 200 years of the shinguard end of the stick, it seems like a small pittance.
