Looks like the Ontario Human Rights Commission has found more evidence of racism in Canada. The OHRC has been zealously rooting out racism since 1961.
Ponder that for a moment. 1961!
If you've been rooting out racism since 1961, and there's more of it than ever in 2020, I would suggest that the efficacy of our approach to racism is somewhat wanting.
Then again, I'm not sure to what extent this is about racism. The existential imperative of any bureaucracy, whether in government or the "private" sector, is to preserve itself. Indeed, a well functioning bureaucracy will not only preserve itself, it will grow and prosper! It will send out shoots that will grow into new bureaucracies!
That's how the USA ended up with 29 "intelligence agencies." All of which are sending out shoots as I type these words...
So obviously, the OHRC has absolutely no incentive to end racism. Instead, they'll still be discovering yet more racism fifty years from now.
That's how bureaucracies work.
