Ep11 - Oh Canada! The Carding of Masai & Canadian Exceptionalism
Manage episode 327258582 series 3174165
Finally coming to you with our much-promised episode talking about the Masai carding incident that happened immediately after the Raptors won the NBA championship. We recap the incident and go over some of the reactions from both media and fans. We then get into an important discussion about misguided Canadian exceptionalism and how Canada often sees a lot of the same racist incidents we see in the US.
