Canoes reek of genocide, theft and white privilege, professor claims

According to Misao Dean, Professor of English at the University of Victoria, the canoe can be a symbol of colonialism, imperialism and genocide due to history. She also accused the canoers of cultural appropriation because they are primarily white men and have a privileged place in society.

In a radio interview for CBC Radio, which wasn’t picked by the Internet until several months later, she claimed “we have a whole set of narratives that make the canoe into a kind of morally untouchable symbol, something that seems natural, that seems ordinary, and seems to promote values that we ascribe to.”

A canoe, which was used by Indians, is racist??? Now, I guess a $64.5 millon 200 foot plus yacht should be outlawed.

Just wondering, is a 14 foot Jon boat racist? I'm thinking of getting one for my 10 year old daughter, but I want to make sure it isn't racist!!

What bovine Excrement.

Poppycock

‘canoes’ were culturally appropriated from the original ‘canoe’ makers:
