Canoe! No, really. Bad canoes. Bad. foxynewz
Forget Halloween costumes and yoga, there’s a new symbol of cultural appropriation—the canoe.
According to Misao Dean, Professor of English at the University of Victoria, the canoe can be a symbol of colonialism, imperialism and genocide due to history. She also accused the canoers of cultural appropriation because they are primarily white men and have a privileged place in society.
In a radio interview for CBC Radio, which wasn’t picked by the Internet until several months later, she claimed “we have a whole set of narratives that make the canoe into a kind of morally untouchable symbol, something that seems natural, that seems ordinary, and seems to promote values that we ascribe to.â€
“But I think if you look a little further that narrative obscures or erases another narrative—and that narrative is about, to be blunt, it’s about theft and genocideâ€, the professor said.
Dean continued to explain why she thinks Canada picked the canoe as a symbol, claiming it has to do with benefits to particular groups—particularly white men— who pushed the canoe.

My god. A boat offends people now. A boat. A fucking wooden boat. That is used to get around in streams and rivers. A fucking small wooden boat. The snowball is out of control.

No, it's true. As I read this piece, it occurred to me that during the last canoe trip I took, I had this strange sense of superiority. Didn't realize it at the time, but now I know what it was. Canoes are empowering to the white man.
-
Personally, I'm glad that someone is finally calling attention to this.
-
As a white male I formally apologizes to any on here I may have called a "douche canoe" :facepalm:

Now that you bring it up, the steamboat seems pretty sketchy as well. I'd watch out for the Tug boat too, it seems sexist.

White men Build "boats".

They're not racists tho, they will eat anybody regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, religion or difference in genders. Equal opportunity at work.

Well, I could be wrong, but I believe diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War Era
-
I'd be surprised if anyone was upset about the lack of an old, old wooden ship, but nice try.

Lex Parsimoniae @1LogicalMan
It looks like @github has new rules for corporate diversity:
1) Diversity = not hiring white people
2) Discrimination = hiring white people
