You weren't being targeted for color but for porn.

sigh
FACT: racialized peeps are subject to far more scrutiny than white peeps at the border. this is well documented
FACT: Native women who are marginalized are subject to far higher levels of violence for a few reasons, one being that the perpetrators know the cops generally don't give a fuck. 'missing women' is a thing in Canada as it relates to Native women
Pickton wasn't the first serial killer who preyed on Native women and he won't be the last. let alone the non-serial killers who again, see Native women as 'low risk of cops doing anything' easy pickings
in some Native cultures there's a story about the Rougarou (basically a man that turns into a wolf) that roams the roads and preys on young Native women. this story is told as a metaphor, the real Rougarous are the men who prey on women walking alone
we can't set aside that a disproportionate number of Native peeps are marginalized as a direct result of Canadian gov policies over decades
but now, magically, all of a sudden Native women matter? lol
none of that applies to Shimmy, his NDNgirls site is legal. the women signed consent and gave ID, just like on any other porn shoot. but for the anti-porn folk they used "he's exploiting Native women!!!" as their attack strategy that got play in the media
what you have here is discrimination against Black people, tropes about Native women not being competent to make their own decisions (again, all of a sudden the issues Native women face are meaningful to white peeps?) and a border guard using the attitudes toward adult amongst the general population as an excuse to do what he did. there's racism all over this
you have no clue what you're talking about. you admitted that on page one. you really should have sat down after that
