Can you define what 'systemic racism' means to you and where in Canadian society that you see systemic racism in action that always only seems to impact natives or black people and not any other minority group in any significant way?

Poverty is the #1 reason people turn to crime. If you close the gap between the upper class and the lower class, thing will improve exponentially.

Toronto/GTA is one of the top multicultural cities in the world and there are millions of minorities living here with hundreds of thousands of them living in poverty in the exact same neigbhorhoods as black families do and all their kids go to the same schools and hang out at the same parks and malls as black kids do and yet how come very few of those non-black minority kids turn to violence and crime?
Wouldn't we except that because they live in the exact same environment and poverty side by side with black people that they too would have more of their kids also being involved in crime, violence and gangs and yet that hasn't happened at all. I wonder why? Are they privileged too in some way that they're able to avoid all of that?

Step 1: Do something about wage disparity between people of color and whites.
|
Which jobs are 'people of color' being paid less at? Is an asian person working at McDonalds or Loblaws getting paid more than a black person working the exact same job?

Step 4: Defund the police. Now to be clear, by defund, I do not mean eliminate police, but reallocate a portion of their budget to social programs geared towards youth in poor neighborhoods.
|
If that's what you want to happen then why not simply say straight up 'REALLOCATION of funds' instead of 'defund' the police and make people think you want to cut the number of cops?
And by the way a number of people aren't talking about reallocation of funds only, but literally abolishing not just the police, but prisons as well.
