Players and Stakeholders

The players and stakeholders that affect the racism in Canada are the first nations people themselves, the police, the government and even some of the everyday citizens.

The First Nations people are being impacted by this racism because it is directed towards them. Some of our police are very racist towards first nations people, they will judge them by how they look and think that they are less just because they are native. Sometimes a police officer will follow a stereotype and could know that a first nation person and a everyday average person and one of them have narcotics on them,the police officer will search the first nations person first. The government that we have today are very racist towards first nations people, they may not be openly racist and stereotypical, but they treat the first nations people how the "white man" treated them before. The government says they want to help the first nations people but inside they could care less, alot of the homeless people are first nations. That means they don't pay taxes which means they don't benefit the government and that's all they are a bunch of greedy politicians. Some of our everyday citizens are racist, but that is given to them by parents or other family and beliefs but it is unfair to see everyday first nations be victims of racism because of their families' pasts. Vancouver is so run by stereotypes that if you went up to ten people and asked what the first thing they thought of when first nations was said, they would probably say poverty, that's how bad our country is today because of the unfair treatment they had.

This video i just posted is a video that shows all the players and stakeholders that participate in racism against first nations. This video is a mash up of events that have affected racism against first nations in some way, whether it be good or bad.
