And that in itself is the problem. A lot of people are of the mindset that "if it doesn't apply to me then I don't care, business as usual". Racism is a global issue, maybe more predominant in other countries but nonetheless still an issue, and yes still an issue in Canada. The only way to move forward and begin to take action against it is if we all take action against it, not just a certain demographic.
Like a previous poster stated, it would have been a strong show of solidarity in the least, against an issue that needs solidarity in the first place for any positive change to occur.
