No Joke, Just Another Example Of Garden-Variety Everyday Racism

To understand the problem, you need to hear not only about the stories that tragically make big news but about the relatively little things, like a teacher in Regina, SK who discovered that someone had posted a photo of his car being broken into with a warning to "lock your doors!!" Only the alleged "thief" was him. Someone saw a black man going into a car (just going in to get something he'd forgotten to take with him) and assumed he was stealing it. Yes, it's a Karen kind of thing, but it happens All. The. Time. and if you're subjected to suspicion just because of the color of your skin, you'd want it to stop, too. (CBC)
