In her initial defence of Mr. Blackface, veteran Liberal MP Judy Sgro offered up the usual nonsense: We were all young once and sometimes made poor choices and mistakes, blah, blah, blah.
Then radio host Jacqueline Dixon asked what sort of reaction Sgro had been getting from her constituents in Humber River-Black Creek, Ont., only one of the country’s most diverse ridings, with, according to the 2016 census, the highest percentage of visible minorities, particularly people from Latin America, Southeast Asia, Jamaica and Vietnam.
“Those in the black community have told me how much more love they have for the prime minister. He wanted to have a black face, he took great pride in it too.
“They’re (black constituents) looking for more ways that they can show how much they support and love the prime minister.”
