The principal should have taken some action to inform the bully that racism was wrong, but he ignored the opportunity because the children were "off the school property" The truth is that he did not care, probably because he was also racist. If the principal knew how unacceptable racism was, then something different would have happened.

             As with the racism that happened with the bully, principal and family, the conflict between natives and non-natives is another unacceptable type of racism. .

             Just recently, a group of non-natives burst into the room of John Maher and other natives and told them to leave. The next thing Maher knew, he had two men grabbing him and trying to get him out the door. One non-native was heard saying, "You guys get out of here man, we don't want you in this community." The non-natives took everything the natives had and set it on fire "right down to their toothbrush and underwear." Indian Brook Chief Reg Maloney said that this is "racism at its ugliest" . What is the point in doing all those hurtful and pointless actions just because this small group of natives planned to catch snow crab off the coast of southern Newfoundland. This reaction was completely inappropriate. They should not be discriminated against just because they are natives.

             Natives being discriminated against is as wrong as the five skinheads beating Canadian, Nirmal Singh Gill just because he was Sikh. Almost two years ago, Gill "died simply because he was Indo-Canadian" Gill had confronted a man who was vandalizing a car and the man started beating on Gill. Four other men soon appeared and helped to beat Gill to his death. Judge William Stewart "rejected the defense contention that the men didn't know Gill was Indo-Canadian" The men were sentenced to 12-15 years in prison. This is a recent example that proves .

             that racism does happen but that there are attempts in stopping such an unacceptable action.
