When we are trying to tackle anti-poverty and anti-crime I think it needs to cater to the specific culture as some are more high-risk than others (i.e. Aboriginals, immigrants, etc). Like the African-Americans in the U.S., the aboriginals in Canada have a long history of mistreatment by the white-majority, which has set them back years, decades and even centuries. These issues cannot be solved by throwing them money or land, but to not even mention the correlation is a cop-out and won't get to the root of the problems. Blaming specific groups is what we cannot do. It all comes down to learning.
