The "New Inclusive Racism"

Apparently, it's no longer just for "honkies"...
-- TORONTO -- All but one board member -- Hamlin Grange -- voted in support of board chairman Dr. Alok Mukherjee's report, which recommended leaving Toronto Police's current "Don't Ask" policy as is.

That was despite the pleas of countless legal groups and immigration advocates who earlier made their case for a change in policy. They were demanding Police Chief Bill Blair instruct his officers not to inform authorities when they learn of a person's illegal status.

Outside the meeting, Scott told reporters the fight is far from over and accused the board of "blatant racism".
