ShreeParadkar Notably absent from the article is the finding that in Toronto Jews have long been and remain the religious group most targeted for hate. That's not a narrative the Toronto Star likes to feature

ShreeParadkar Excellent article on a major issue on discrimination thank you

ShreeParadkar So woke

ShreeParadkar Stop spreading whiteophobia

ShreeParadkar If only 9-11 never happened. Did they think they were doing their religion justice. Human minds can be puzzling.

ShreeParadkar This was a stomach churning piece by ShreeParadkar. With so much HINDUPHOBIA all around her, Shree Paradkar, with her Hindu name, writes PASSIONATELY about 'slamophobia.😡 Is Shree blind as to not notice all the HINDUPHOBIA around her?🤔

ShreeParadkar People say islamophobic attacks were up in 2021. But i was surprised to see how much was coming from homeless people with psych/addiction issues. 9 out of 11 incidents in the article i found. It seems that is where the problem is, no?

I'm sorry when have facts become racist? It's simple when stats came out about shootings 90% are committed by someone not from Canada.

ShreeParadkar More pandering and nonsense. We’re not fooling for this garbage anymore. Get a new line of work.

ShreeParadkar The , like most of MSM are continously wagging their fingers at white people. Meanwhile, most white people are just trying to make it through life like everyone else and just want to be left alone. Stop letting white people live in your head rent free.

ShreeParadkar It's amazing how whiteness always pokes a head through irregardless the topic. Give it up!!!

ShreeParadkar The Star's racist in residence rears her ugly head again. Wonderful.

ShreeParadkar Hate is everywhere Nobody group has cornered the market

ShreeParadkar Lol - because only white people are Christian? The inferiority complexes of wokesters need to be addressed.

ShreeParadkar All religions are , are lies . You all worship the sun and don't even know it

ShreeParadkar MazMHussain SanaSaeed good to see this

ShreeParadkar This is true of most violent crimes now. They all get ascribed to a group rather than the individuals. Eg, a white guy shoots people and it’s toxic masculinity and/or white rage. We should hold only individuals and accomplices responsible, not groups.
