The Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) has launched an investigation into a video posted on Facebook during the weekend in which a locally-based Guyanese woman made “racially insensitive” remarks about persons of another ethnicity.
In a statement issued on its Facebook page yesterday, the ERC said that the commission is concerned about the post since it can contribute to a rise in “unnecessary” tension in society.
The ERC also confirmed that it is also investigating another recent incident which occurred at Kissoon’s Furniture Store, during which a customer alleged that there was racial profiling.
