“Correctional Investigator Ivan Zinger saying more must be done to combat the “overrepresentation” of minority inmates.” This seems to me like closing the barn door after the horses are loose. Rather than addressing the issue of institutional racism at the root, through education of children at a young age and during their immigration processes, we arm them for life with a get out of jail free card and raise them as feral children incapable of knowing any better. Wow…if that isn’t systematic racism, I can’t begin to imagine what is.

So they don't get an education? I would doubt that's true. Do they have a parent? Does that parent read to them? Teach them? Do anything to ensure they succeed? Oh, but it's systemic racism.

Perhaps Canadians should rethink their immigration policies. It might be kinder to never open the doors of the country if it's such a racist hell-hole that immigrants are forced into lives of crime.

That was my first thought. If his young life meant he was going to become a criminal, why let them in?

Mind you, I don't actually believe in that premise. But for the people who do, they should take their premise to the logical conclusion.
