Earlier this year, a press conference with family members of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls devolved into shouts of “white lady,” “white man,” and demands for respect after a journalist asked whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is the person to blame for missing indigenous teens in Northern Ontario. 

One of the women is quoted as saying “You know what, white people? You’ve had your voice here for 524 years.”

But of that was not considered a racist comment by the indigenous women shouting.
