In this discussion on race, we need to include First Nations people.  There is a lot of prejudice against them in rural areas in eastern Ontario, including among police officers and the justice system.  During a peaceful demonstration about 10 years ago, against a get-rich-quick uranium mine that was being established on Crown land belonging to the Algonquins and on surrounding farmland and private property, several people were arrested and ordered to appear in court.  The "white" judge let the "white" protesters off with a warning, and sentenced all the First Nations protesters, including a professor at Trent University, to time in prison.  The professor successfully appealed her sentence, and after a few months in prison, was discharged.  This is how the Ontario legal system works, folks -- we have no right to be smug.
