In 2011, Students Teaching About Racism in Society (STARS) launched a poster campaign to raise awareness about the negative effects of racially simplistic Halloween costumes. Taking inspiration from this campaign and the controversy it caused, this public conversation will consider the unique reality of racism in Quebec. Why do pranks, comments and costumes that would seem outrageous in other parts of North America fly under the radar here? How do these repeated incidents of cultural insensitivity impact the experiences of people of colour? Is it possible to take a stand against cultural appropriation and racism without being labeled as hypersensitive, excessively politically correct, or worse, Anti-Quebec? Together, we will examine the limits of acceptability, the persistence of stereotypes and the costs of reducing a culture to a mere stereotype. What role do our media play in all of this? How can we move from pretending everything is okay to acknowledging and educating ourselves about the challenges we face and the steps required for them to be overcome?<\/p>\n
