Everyone kept pointing out to him how great of a job he was doing considering the great social inequalities he had to suffer through, trying to make him feel good, but you could tell that it never seemed to be that big of a deal to him before. Here was Iggy, playing in arguably the most redneck province of Canada, and it took a bunch of outsiders to make him feel uncomfortable.

The whole point of equality is to get to a level where you don't even think about these things. There are of course legitimate racial situations that need attention, but it seems like it's often the dogooders pointing out people's supposed situations who make things the most awkward for everyone.
You are guilty of democratic-racism.....
