Chery doesn't like French Canadians or Europeans, that is what I would guess is what Corduroy is talking about when she says Cherry is racist. What I would say to that is he like a lot of people who want local business to get all contracts for govts say, rather than non-Canadians, which is what Maude Barlow and unions say. Unions and Barlow are not considered racist for being anti-free trade. They however don't focus on individuals, but corporations.
Cherry has stated that the media has a love-in with Europeans. Nothing wrong with saying that. Cherry was upset because he felt Kyle Wellwood got the bum's rush by the NHL before the Canucks picked him up, whereas Europeans got a better deal he felt. Cherry has a view of hockey and that it should be for Canadians and North Americans, most people don't agree, but he can say it since the message is similiar to Barlow and unions.
