I grew up in T Bay -- the racism, systemic or otherwise, is very real.  Further, you make two statements that really don't make sense -- your line, " "racism" is the new descriptor for elites attempting to denigrate non-elites" is pretty well gibberish, and your statement, "...if Thunder Bay is the fantastically charitable place that you make it out to be, why the poverty" suggests some truly bizarre belief on your part that charity can provide jobs.
