1) The planet is in the throes of "Haitian Flu". It can be observed that Jewish Montrealers, Arab Montrealers, Québécois, Asian Montrealers, Anglo Montrealers are all now more afraid of Black Montrealers than before.

2) The planet is in the throes of "Algerian Flu". It can be observed that Jewish Montrealers, Black Montrealers, Québécois, Asian Montrealers, Anglo Montrealers are all now more afraid of Arab Montrealers than before.

If you call that racism, you don't understand the concept.

Afraid? That's not what I'm talking about.

Here's the definition of racism in case you need it:

the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
