Racist rant signifies nothing

Re Woman’s racist outburst speaks volumes, Paradkar, June 21 The behaviour of the woman in this video is not news.

Sadly, these angry, aggressive people who feel they are justified and aggrieved enough to attack front-line workers in retail, education and health care plague our society.

What I find objectionable is the extrapolation made by the columnist, Shree Paradkar.

She claims there are “deep biases” in Canadian society toward “people of colour” and those with linguistic imperfections, based on some limited anecdotal evidence.

Most disturbing is the fact that the catalyst for these claims is the ranting of one irrational and clearly unstable individual.

To claim this is a societal problem is a quantum leap and not helpful at all. Thomas Gault, Mississauga
