1. Racism toward Indigenous peoples in Canada
Format: -Microsoft Word document -font size 12 (Times New Roman) double spaced -must
be at least 8 pages (full 8 pages; not including the cover page) -Chicago style referencing
(footnotes and a separate bibliography page are required) Paper details: -examine the
prevalence of racism in Canada (is it really a significant issue today?) -discuss some of the
key factors which uphold and contribute to such attitudes -then focus on the concepts of
meritocracy and white privilege -as developing the thesis and the framework for the
argument, consider the questions/ideas: (1). why/how does adherence to beliefs about the
role of “meritocracy” factor into such attitudes? (2). why is there a lack of belief/knowledge
about the role of “white privilege” and its impact on such attitudes? (3). How and why,
might greater understandings/insight into each of these concepts foster more realistic and
inclusive attitudes toward Indigenous peoples in Canada? Required articles for the topic:
