I believe in a culture of national forgiveness — even for the woke, culture-less, illiberal left-wing automatons who would happily “cancel” all the rest of us merely for holding the wrong views on a variety of political subjects.

For that reason, I would only call Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a massive hypocrite — not a racist. Trudeau’s blackface and “brownface” costumes were in extremely poor taste, and they both came decades after such dress-up could be written off as an unfortunate product of the times. Still, I do not believe for one second that Trudeau hates people of other races, or that he would deliberately discriminate against them, or offend them if reasonably informed about the potential consequences of his behavior.
