What is your opinion of Pimienta's behavior towards the majority of Canadians, and how do you think the incident in Halifax will impact her career?
Pimienta voluntarily moved from Columbia to a country where 75% of the population is white and then is overtly racist against the majority of Canadians.  NICE!  I wish there wasn't racism in Canada but she has added to it with her bigotry and divisiveness.  One good thing about the Halifax incident is that bookers of shows and festivals can now decide if Pimienta's talent outweighs her unpleasantness and potential for creating conflict.  (Ironically, she wants to tour Europe, the source of horrible white people.)  I happen to be white but know so many brown people as cousins, friends and fine co-workers that I think I know why there hasn't been an outpouring of denunciations of Pimienta's back-of-the-bus-ism from people "of colour".   I won't insult my personal contacts by asking their opinions of her discriminatory behaviour.   But I can imagine their responses: shakes of heads and huffs of dismissal at her nasty nonsense.
