While we wax poetic about Windsor-Essex being one of the "most diverse areas" in Canada, this is what Black students face. We can't address this if we continue to pretend racism doesn't exist in our region.

Thank you @atuwindsor2020 for shining the light here.
"[The frat members] are part of our community & we have to take responsibility for what they did, which was racist, homophobic, etc. And so for [UWindsor president Rob Gordon] to then... push against this, I think is really disingenuous." @Sujith_Xavier cbc.ca/news/canada/wi…
Just awful.
And sexual assault, to top everything off.
From RAACES UWindsor: "We write to you to demand that you take immediate action in dealing with the grotesque anti-Black racism and the sexual assaults that have come to light recently." uwinraacesca.wordpress.com/2020/11/27/raa…

Important commentary on Ontario's largest school outbreak (49 cases) right here in Windsor re: low-income vulnerability, social circumstances, and not having current demographic data. Ft. @annekersmit and @Frazier_Fathers via @jennlagrassa cbc.ca/news/canada/wi…
The school board (and health unit!) not keeping and/or releasing demographic data of schools + neighbourhoods is an issue. Toronto clearly demonstrated there is a correlation between certain neighbourhoods and COVID-19 cases. We would probably see the same if data was available.
Demographic data would be a powerful tool for many reasons - including online learning, as demonstrated by the school board itself: 391 students are attending Begley in person while 146 opted for online learning or paper packages, one of the lowest rates for the board.

If you're going to publish a piece on migrant workers, maybe speak to a local farm worker or two before you throw out a bunch of stereotypes about said group and use these assumptions to imply their sickness/death has to do with their actions alone. Infuriating.
I know this is an opinion piece but come on. The author was a whole university professor. He should know a thing or two research and not making arguments based on conversations with a couple friends who happen to own greenhouses.🙄
Perhaps the most cruel part of the column is the tone used to describe two "unfortunate" deaths and a number of infections as only a "small" number? So, what would be a palatable number instead? Are these people disposable?
