Dear Editor,

Re: “Thankful not to be burdened by having the mind of a racist,” Richmond-News.com, May 27.

I find it fascinating that in 2023 people in this city “hear” racist comments directed towards them.

Frankly, I have heard much more racist comments and language directed towards visible minorities.

An online search will show that government reports, legal societies, administrative tribunals and actual court cases which have decided and ruled that the term “Gweilo” is not a racist term at all.

I am saddened that “white” fragility and “reverse racism” are now commonly accepted concepts in Richmond.
