White Privilege in action- Canada 2022

The other day, the local high school celebrated the arrival of the first refugee student from the Ukraine war. The front office even played the Ukrainian national anthem in their honour during the morning announcements! 

Truly a warm welcome!

The Ukraine war began February 24th of this year.

Among the folks listening to the morning announcements were several who have been involved in efforts to bring Afghan refugees to Canada. The Afghan war ended, for Canada, in 2014. It ended for good six months before the Ukraine war started.

These folks have been struggling to bring Afghan refugees to Canada for years. 

They're still working on it.

Afghan refugees are brown and Muslim.

Ukrainian refugees are white and Christian.

That's what "white privilege" looks like, especially when your Deputy PM, aka Fluffy's brain, is a Ukrainian nationalist.
