Actually, the cowcatcher doesn't discriminate. If anything it's promoting violence and the possible killing of people who stand in front of trains, regardless of ethnicity. Particularly in light of the fact that it's clear that a lot of people participating in these protests are not First Nations.
In other words, the objection is to people blockading roads and trains. The objection is not to First Nations specifically doing those things. Hence the picture is in poor taste, not racist.
