That would have showed an incredible amount of maturity and really made him stand out from the mud slinging for me anyway. I don’t believe JT is a racist person, I just think he’s asleep at the wheel. But you know, that’s just like, my opinion, man.
I thought Jagmeet's initial response was good, he spoke to those who might be offended, especially children and youth (I think there are still some rural areas where this kind of discrimination is rampant ... hell, some even in urban centers as well).

But yes, lots of brown and black people are standing up for JT ... they all just happen to be in his caucus.

But damn ... there are so many that JT can't remember them all.
