Race To The Finish Line Pooja Patel

In this episode, we up wrap up season one by looking at governing bodies in sports, and the role they play in upholding white supremacy in Canada

In this week's episode, we talk about the promotion of multiculturalism and diversity in sports in Canada, and its relationship to nationalism and white supremacy, using one specific team as a case study - the 2019 NBA Champion, Toronto Raptors. 

In our first episode, we start where conversations about race often start - by examining whiteness. Specifically, we examine the connection between whiteness, and metaphors of "North" in the Canadian sports community.
