This racism we have in Canada is new.
And
it's a recent racism and people kind of take it with a grain of salt.
It's not the racism,
it's the fact that it's been kind of put on us.
It seems like imported racism from the US.
I think it's the racism they have there.
That's their problem.
And we don't have racism here.
It's not like that though.
Like, this is the Underground Railroad.
We put Harriet Tubman
on stamps and stuff.
This racism,
I think it's going away.
Like,
when I was a kid, when I was like
10 or 8 and stuff,
my best friend was from Tanzania,
Stan.
And you
grow up in Toronto and there's lots of different,
it's multicultural.
My best friend, when I was 5, he was Greek.
I started a band when I was in high school.
And I loved the band.
There's a black singer,
there's a black sax player.
Smith was American.
Alex, the drummer, was Greek.
The percussionist was,
what the * is he from again?
Portuguese.
You go to school, it's different.
You know that racism exists,
but it's not the same.
It's different.
It's like imported.
There's American racism in Canada.
It doesn't fit us.
No.
Like, when I was in school in Down Mills,
I was the only white kid in class.
It's mid-class.
Okay, there's either two,
maximum three.
I remember there's one guy, so I think there's
two white kids and another white kid.
