I, too, was appalled when I read the CBC News article online this morning: Racist graffiti ‘appals’ professor.
“It looked like kind of squiggles,” said Jaya, who was born in India.
“So then I went over to the front and looked at it directly … and it was spray-painted in black, the N-word, the word nigger. It just seemed totally shocking and appalling.”
C’mon folks! This kind of incident is NOT what we need plastered all over the papers and internet. I am angered that this kind of hatred exists in my home province. We are all normally proud of our reputation of being friendly, welcoming and fun-loving. THAT’S what we’re all about.
You Newfoundlanders out there… I hope you are as outraged as I am . This kind of thing shouldn’t happen. This is not who we are.
You non-Newfoundlanders out there… please don’t judge us based on these morons who are so ignorant they can’t even get our ignorant racial slurs correct.
