Episode 3: Racing Away

In today's Canada, a person's race shouldn't  matter. But many Canadians have made it the center of their focus. Things get trickier when a person guesses another's race incorrectly. This becomes a bigger problem when being white is seen as bad thing generally.

Following a Twitter discussion, I tossed out a test with the photo of a white-looking man. Out of a few dozen replies, only two got it exactly right, and another two came close to guessing the correct answer.

Listen to this episode for the exact answer, and see the photo in my my tweet at https://twitter.com/TheophanesRex/status/1515345275057025035
