It’s okay to be white ...

I didn’t choose to live in Toronto- not at first. My parents immigrated to Canada when I was 6 years old - the circumstances at the time made Toronto a good fit for where they wanted to settle. It wasn’t till my 20s did I personally start to appreciate living in Toronto - Toronto became my home (not just somewhere I lived), a city to be proud of. 

For someone who loves food, this city is heaven. I can have amazing Chinese, Thai, Cuban or good ol�� “Canadian” food whenever my stomach desires. Toronto has Drake, the Raptors, TIFF and the infamous CN Tower. But it isn’t just the food, music or experiences that Toronto has to offer - it is the diversity of people. Growing up in the GTA I never felt like I was minority. I was always surrounded by people from different cultures and religions. Especially after 9/11, when living as a practicing Muslim was hard for a lot of Muslims in western countries- I never felt ashamed or afraid to represent my religion or my Pakistani culture. 

Toronto is known for its multiculturalism and diversity, declared in 2016 by BBC as the most diverse city in the world. Home to 230 different nationalities, for some, this is the deciding factor when choosing Toronto as their home. A total of 2,537,410 foreign-born people account for 46% of Toronto’s population (almost 5 out of 10 people are immigrants). The 2011 National Household Survey (NHS) indicated that 49.1% of Toronto’s population is composed of visible minorities; 1,264,395 non-Whites, or 20.2% of Canada’s visible minority population, live in the city of Toronto. 

With all this in mind, imagine my utter shock, as I’m coming home from a day of work, going up the escalators after getting off the subway, when I glance down and see this sticker. I was in disbelief. I actually went back down the stairs on the other side so I can go up the escalators again - this time to capture a picture - and to make sure my eyes weren’t playing tricks on me. The sticker wasn’t shocking because of what it said - It’s okay being white (duh) no one (I hope) is disputing that. The words aren’t what’s disturbing - however what is unacceptable are: the reasons why the sticker was placed in the first place; the people who put the sticker up; & what the sticker represents. I was (am) obviously outraged. 

Despite a growing headache the first (or second) thing I did when I got home last night (after taking my migrane meds) was to research. Turns out fliers and stickers reading “It’s Ok to be White” have recently been plastered on school campuses and streets all across the US & Canada. The creators of the “campaign” feel the signs will “gain media attention and “normies” (what white supremacists refer to white Americans as) will realize journalists and leftists “hate white people,” leading them to “turn on them”. Um WTF.. Seriously, WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP. Do people actually believe this shit?!? With all thats going on, I would understand or even expect this in the States or really, anywhere BUT here. It is totally flabbergasting that a city where diversity is celebrated harbors individuals who feel this way.

Let me be clear – white people are great. I have nothing against white people – so don’t expect to see (or read) me putting them down and spewing hate towards them (like some of them do towards people of color) – that would only make these people feel vindicated. They want the public to read these stickers and reply “fuck white people”  so they feel justified in their quest– well sorry, that is not the purpose of my rant. I am simply offended, being a Torontonian, that some citizens feel its ok to vandalize the city I call home with these stickers, with the intent (hope) to expel hate, and to start drama. 

So no, I will not give them the satisfaction, but only remind them: remind them of where they are – not a suburb in the USA but Toronto – a city of love & tolerance. You my friends will not accomplish your goals of spreading hate here. Instead, i want to sprinkle you all with sugar and spice and everything nice (cue the corny love songs). I have faith in My City. The6ix will not be brought down by these individuals, Remember its Toronto vs Everybody, and we, Torontonians (not our sports teams –although that will happen one day too iA) ALWAYS have the last word - xoxo Erum
