The guy's original statement that was really stupid and that he shook his head at, leading to this altercation:
Quote:
According to Running Coyote’s account on Facebook, following rehearsal, he went to a restaurant and a news story came on the television regarding charges being dropped against an Alberta rancher in an incident in Okotoks where a man was shot in the arm after trespassing.
A man — who Running Coyote described as Caucasian, wearing a black cap and sunglasses – walked out of the bathroom area with his female partner, looking at the screen and said, “This is a victory for Canada. If someone comes on to my property now, I’ll f**g shoot em’ dead.”

Now, do you think that perhaps - just possibly - this isn't a result of Canada teaching people to be racist, but rather an instance of someone being a complete a-hole in general and
also racist? It's not really that surprising that those two character traits might overlap?
You've got a guy here who just reveled in the death of a trespasser and suggested in public that he'd like to
murder someone if given the opportunity. Citing that as a demonstration of a national attitude racism towards indigenous peoples that leads you to hate the whole country seems to me to be a bit of a stretch.
