More than one would think? But really how many are there? You can't quantify it and just because a small chuch gathers on a street that doesn't mean recist people are on every street and corner. If Nenshi was white there would still be a large group of Calgarians that would vote for someone else that they like better. The whole racist argument is a copout IMO as nobody can quantify how many racists actually exist in Calgary and Nenshi's reign as mayor at the end of the day will be determined by how the city views his competence not by the color of his skin.
