Anti-Jewish diatribe prompts demand for hate-crimes probe in Saskatchewan
David Ahenakew's anti-Semitism is wrong on so many levels. A more generic racism as well:
"My great-grandson goes to school here in Saskatoon. These goddamned immigrants — East Indians, Pakistanis, Afghanistan, whites and so forth — call him a dirty little Indian. He's the cleanest of the old goddamn works there. That's what I'm saying. It's starting right there, at six years old."
I'd suggest that this exceptionally radical racism stems from a particularly radical anti-colonialism, a post-Fanonist movement if you would.
