Special race based privileges in a public park. I’m not a fan.

    I have literally been stopped by FN due to my skin colour

    Example. Capilano Indian Reserve No. 5 in north vancouver. I like to tent camp there when I visit vancouver for concerts at the RV park. Years ago, when I asked about where the trail is to the river, they literally told me it’s for FN only with a straight face lol

    I know what white privilege is btw and I guess it’s a taste of my own medicine.

      Well there’s the issue, you weren’t on public land, you are on reserve land that indigenous have rights to. Reserve, as in Reserved for them, as a token for stealing all the rest.

      So you got told that a reservation is restricted to the people who own the land and you immediately consider it a race issue?

      I got a solution for you, pal. Go hiking in the mountains of Afghanistan. Take lots of pictures. They’ll treat you right.
