OPINION: The hate has always been here. But now it’s boiling over, and it’s become more socially acceptable to let white-nationalist, misogynistic, even murderous flags fly (by Jenn Jefferys/TVO)

As a mixed race(Métis) Canadian living in the UK. It’s been really fucking weird, back home I’m pegged immediately as being part First Nations. Here I’m just another white guy, and it’s really been a huge adjustment. Gotten into an argument with a Afro/Caribbean/Brit during one of the lockdowns about standing inches away from me with their mask off and coughing on me.
And when they said: You fuckin white people…
I was like, Holy shit, I’m no longer seen as a person of colour.
It really fucked with me for a few weeks.
