Then on the flip side. I can almost garauntee you what he really meant was visible minorities many of whom are not even immigrants. Would Don have a point that there is a drop off in visible minorities wearing poppies? Yeah probably. I’d say there’s a real lack of poppies over all though and I don’t think coaches corner is the time or place for that discussion.
That being said I think the reaction is a bit over the top. Is it a bad take. Yeah. Do we all need to cover our ears and pretend we heard some unspeakable evil? Probably not either.

What I agree with was that when Cherry said immigrant he meant visible minority. Which brings race into it.
