1. Yes racism does exist in Canada and in Saskatchewan. I think that it exists everywhere. The racism isn't terrible here it doesn't usually go past verbal abuse but it cant be ignored. There are many misconceptions between First nation and white people. It is very hard for First Nations youth to make something of themselves because of racial stereotypes and terrible lives at home.
2. I think that dealing with racism is about the best way you Can do it. Everyone thinks its funny but when they look at it they realize how untrue it is and its just another misconception. It might even help to blur the line between first nations and white people. You have to be careful who uses humour to talk about racism, i white person cant talk about first nations because they don't really know what they go through. So they cant laugh at things they don't understand.
3.A joke from the movie was "When white people hear a siren they automatically think something bad has happened and get really concerned. But when redskins hear a siren they say hey cousin your ride is here."

It helps the relationship between the people of different races become more understanding of eachother. The fact that when non-Aboriginal people tell Aboriginal jokes may be offensive to the Aboriginal people because they are not part of their culture.

1. Yes racism does exist in Canada and exists to a great extent in Canada. There is no aggressive racism in that people aren't attacked for their race, although this has stopped in the majority of the wordl. What we do is much more passive racism but that could be the harder to extinguish than more overt racism. It is also much more dificult to get rid of passive racism. It does
