[1] If you are a White Muslim who has taken the time to explore the myriad of ways in which racism plays out (not just overt hate) in Canada and the US, is well versed in anti-racism and is active in doing something about it, this article is not directed at you. I would, in fact, appreciate if you reached out to me so that we can work together. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected]
