The school clearly isn't entrenched in racism. This honestly sounds like over sensitive Natives who see racism in white skin. The general definition of racism is People who define and pree judge others by their skin colour: And that's what these people are doing, Defining the school by it's skin colour. The remark by George-jim proves that.  "It's(Racism) entrenched in Dalhousie in general. I sit on a room full of portraits of old white guys staring down at me." Since when is the fact that the school, which was founded by white Canadians, who are the majority in Canada, steeped in racism simply because they are white? Only a racist, or a simple minder person  would think like that. If things where flipped, and i sat in the waiting room for a chief on a reservation, surrounded by pics of Indians, could i call that reservation racist for having no white guys?
