Your article entitled, "Thunder Bay teachers' Aid crosses a cultural line" raised several points that I wanted to address.In the article, you cite an example of intolerance and lack of understanding of Aboriginal beliefs and traditions that is all too common at times in our schools. As a teacher of Native Studies, I have heard stories from parents and other educators about insensitive and often oppressive practises directed towards Native children.

Urban natives say they are facing an increase in racism from businesses, schools, police and employers, with an "astounding" four out of 10 Indians, Inuit and Métis reporting discrimination in Canadian cities and towns, a newly released government report reveals.

Interracial marriages between blacks and majority group members often face higher social sanctions than other types of interracial marriages.

White partners of twenty-one interracial marriages are interviewed. While whites married to non-blacks alter their racial perspectives, they do not experience racism as do whites married to blacks. These experiences of racism may change white perspectives on s...
