Asher Hill sees hypocrisy in racial equality statements

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

Now you know my radical self has to promote this. In light of Black Lives Matter and protests against racism all over the world, it seems, Asher Hill is pointing out that Skate Canada isn't as progressive as they claim to be. Skating clubs will tend to protect their image first and worry about the minorities later. This is worse than accepting responsibility for the racism and fixing the problem.

Have a read of the article and seed what you think.

I saw him interviewed on the news. It's a sad situation and good for him for speaking out.
