If ever there was a paragraph that described Canadian-Brand Racist Jackassetry, THIS IS VERY IT.

‘When you believe niceness disproves the presence of racism, it’s easy to start believing bigotry is rare, and that the label racist should be applied only to mean-spirited, intentional acts of discrimination. The problem with this framework–besides being a gross misunderstanding of how racism operates in systems and structures enabled by nice people–is that it obligates me to be nice in return, rather than truthful. I am expected to come closer to racists. Be nicer to them. Coddle them.’

It’s so good to see this articulated!

“She’s strong with the Force; untrained, but stronger than she knows.” Is a direct line from the mouth of Kylo Ren (Ben Solo) and people still out here trying to spin the narrative that he’s some kind of menenist. You fools. The son of Leia Organa only falls for women who can kick his ass.
