I should go easy on Peter MacKay, afterall, we are family. Rather than being slapped for bringing up a few less notable aspects from cousin Peter’s past I’m instead being confronted by a letter writer who saw a lot more than innocent ridicule against Canada’s Foreign Minister.
“Racist, racist, racist. Spectator, you’ve sunk to an all-time low, propagating racial stereotypes. Not funny”,
emails Alyson Luckett of Hamilton, only a couple hours after it was printed. I’m trying to figure out what racial stereotypes I’ve propagated. Can anyone help?
FEEDBACK
