A sign hung in Port Coquitlam advertising a “whites-only” moms and tots group is causing outrage online after photos of a poster were shared on social media.

    This is totally shit (assuming it is real and either not a joke or not some planted sign to stir controversy), but if the sign said any other race, there would be a whole lot less outrage. Or no outrage at all.

      I think the sign is racist as hell from the undertones it gives off. However there are plenty of black only, indian only, jewish only etc baby groups. No one seems to bat an eye at them. I would just like an answer to why segregation imposed by certain groups is acceptable and not others.

        Very good question. Why is it OK for thee but not for me? It shouldn’t be OK for anyone, quite honestly. Get everyone mixing together as young as possible, but only when one group tries to separate themselves does it become an issue. Hmmm.

        The reason why is because historically in Canada people who weren’t white were treated way worse by white people and even though things have improved today, the effects of that mistreatment still affects many people today.
