  2. Multiple prominent figures from America’s far right have been identified as attendees at a recent white nationalist conference in Tennessee, hosted by the organization American Renaissance. Attendees included Thomas Rousseau of Patriot Front, an organization labeled as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center for promoting pseudoscientific ideas about racial inferiority. The conference took place last month, and Nashville’s WCVB reported on the identities of some participants, highlighting the presence of individuals associated with racist and white nationalist ideologies. American Renaissance advocates for “white advocacy” and “race realism,” emphasizing the expression of racial preferences without asserting privileges. The exposure of attendees sheds light on the connections and rising collaborations within far-right and white nationalist circles.

  16. "Chinese and Indigenous communities have shared histories. We faced hardships together while mining for gold in the British Columbia gold rush and experiencing the rugged Canadian weather and terrain.

    There are many graves on First Nations territories when Chinese people died from the flu and from the building of the railway, crushed by landslides, collapsing tunnels and premature blastings (Mittelstedt, 2014). The First Nations communities took in the Chinese railroad workers and care for their grave sites to this day (Mittelstedt, 2014). We enjoyed economic success and partnerships that were respectful and mutually beneficial (Ma, 2012). Chinese people leased lands (on First Nations) to farm and then hired Indigenous people to help farm the land (Mathur et al., 2011, p. 74). The Chinese built elaborate gold-mining operations among First Nations communities and perhaps most importantly our communities intermingled and there were many marriages between Chinese men and Indigenous women. In 1891, 98% of Chinese people in Canada lived in British Columbia (Barman, 2013, p. 1), which explains why there are such intimate ties between Chinese people and our First Nations communities in British Columbia. Unsurprisingly, one in six Chinese men created a family with a local Indigenous woman (Barman, 2013, p. 1)."
