When we launched The Under The White Gaze newsletter, some readers emailed arguing we shouldn’t talk about whiteness and that our writer is “driven by hate.” As much as these are ridiculous, in-the-minority responses, let’s challenge them, shall we?
From “it’s racist to talk about race,” to “focus on the bigger issues,” to “you’re biased because you’re racialized,” our city reporter Chris Cheung is no stranger to these responses. In this story, he digs into what these responses are really saying.
