Document Summary
Racism in sport: many canadians are reluctant to admit that racism is still an issue in canada (joseph mensah) Language: english & jargon: cost, accessibility: transportation, systemic racism: stereotypical assumptions, bureaucratic sport system, volleyball canada has a different policy than volleyball alberta. Ice hockey and race: not representative of canadian diversity, creates tension for some newcomers that don"t believe in violence/aggression because hockey is a national sport. Irony in newcomers more strongly identifying with ice hockey than canadians: need to tell stories of women, francophones & fn in hockey. Race: biological myth based on socially created ideas about variation in human potential and abilities that are assumed to be biological. Systemic discrimination: patterns of behaviour, policies or practices that are part of the structure of an organization, and which create or perpetuate disadvantage for racialized people, ex: residential schools, amateurism.
