So let’s take the show to the sticks! Toronto doesn’t need it!

But I believe the general idea of this event is well founded. I think one of the main causes of racism stems from lack of understanding and lack of exposure to different cultures. That’s why racism tends to be more apparent in some backwards country side than metropolitan cities.

So by exposing people to different cultures and enhancing understanding, it’s at least chipping away at a very large and complex problem.

If anyone ever manages to write a song or poem that will stop a person from being racist, I’d be amazed.

Who will be attending these events? What benefit is there to somebody who is already against racism in attending these events?

The problem with racism is that there are people out there who hold these beliefs. You need to directly interact with *these people* if you want to combat racism. Songs, poems, and paintings are nice, but they don’t do squat unless you point them at the right people (and even then, I’d say they are ineffective).
