Lawsuit alleges Indigenous soldier faced racism, bullying before his suicide * 1
    #26434839 - 01/15/20 12:33 PM (4 years, 14 days ago)

What makes it worse, is that they were all supposed to be on the same side.

https://globalnews.ca/news/6215165/lawsuit-alleges-indigenous-soldier-faced-racism-bullying-before-his-suicide/

In my opinion they should be reprimanding the overseeing officers, and those who were directly involved in this hazing and harassment.

Like, we're talking loss of wages and termination of employment, type of stuff.

If this was at a company that you and I worked for, I'm sure the entire place would have ceased operations and there would have been lengthy criminal investigations in place.

Ehhhhh yeah but it's not a company I work for, it's the military. I feel like it's pretty common knowledge that the military treats people like trash. Not saying that makes it ok but just look at the dude. I want to pick on him and I don't even know him

"Corporal Caribou" doesn't help either.

..”during a training exercise.”

That could have gotten a lot worse.  Hopefully those bullies realize how easily they could be 6 feet under right now and adjust their behavior from here on out.

:thatsracist:

CBC news has a Deer and Deerchild as surnames of some of their Indigenous contributors, prolly among others; just briefly glanced at the Indigenous subsection

used to work with a Bearclaw -- one of my friends dated a Bluecloud

number of nature-related surnames show up

always expecting someone on discord to call me out for cultural appropriation or something for having a surname set as Stillwater
=x

Of course that's racist, that was my point. Its a very bullyable title/surname combination. If you deal with racists, they play that out against you.

Yeah, fully recognize that
but apparently the Corporal designation is the promotion he was saying he was being passed over for because of his race
while it kind of sounded to me more like somewhere in the army structure where a person would get stuck and taunted
but don't know what the designations above or below it are -- something like Captain or Commander would be equally troubling
but perhaps Major would be alright?

Yea it's pretty cute people believe that the government and military have to follow their own rules or the rules of legislators.
Police can lie, do drugs, drive drunk, rape, fuck prostitutes, domestic abuse at over twice the rate of any other demographic of people, and kill people without penalty. People really think the government or military is any better. :rofl:

Reminds me of Full Metal Jacket. Except that guy wasn't Indigenous.

It sucks and we should be better than that, but when you get a bunch of dudes together where there's high level stress competition and a whole lot of ego, this type of stuff is going to happen. Look at sports locker rooms, too. Frat hazing.

There was a big thing several years ago where an NFL player -- a guy who was at the highest level of American football that one can reach, and he was bullied into depression and quit football altogether because teammates were hazing and bullying him daily.

Quote:

Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Jonathan Martin was subjected to "a pattern of harassment" that included racial slurs and vicious sexual taunts about his mother and sister by three teammates, according to a report released Friday by NFL investigator Ted Wells.

The 144-page report said Richie Incognito, who was suspended by the team in November, and fellow offensive linemen John Jerry and Mike Pouncey harassed Martin. Another offensive lineman and an assistant trainer also routinely came under attack, the investigation found.

The other harassed player was "subjected to homophobic name-calling and improper physical touching," while the assistant trainer, who was born in Japan, was subjected to racial slurs.

The 6-foot-5, 312-pound Martin abruptly left the team Oct. 28. He was briefly hospitalized, and then joined his family in California and underwent counseling for emotional issues.

Martin told investigators Incognito joked that he and other teammates would rape Martin's sister, a medical student none of them had ever met. Incognito also used racial slurs with Martin, made jokes about slavery and routinely demeaned Martin for not being "black enough."
