Is Canada's Prime Minister a racist?

He just confused Japan with China in front of the Japanese Prime Minister. Does Canada's PM think all east Asians look alike? As a Canadian I am deeply embarrassed by our Peter Pan Prime Minister.

No, people do make genuine mistakes. Society has become so political they dont want to give anyone the benefit of the doubt.

@JimboUk Except he said it twice. If I say something wrong like confusing one country for another I would correct myself and apologize. Trudeau did it twice. Never caught on to the slip up. In fact before he was elected he got lost in a closet. Someone had to tell him he had taken the wrong door. He simply isn't very bright.

@hippyjoe1955 If he is in error, he would need to be corrected no? I'm not an fan of his but he clearly thought they were Chinese.
If you want to aruge someone in his team should have corrected him then fair enough.
His mind is elsewhere 90% of the time anyway lol

@JimboUk He simply skipped his briefing. He even had the time of Canada and Japan's friendship wrong. He simply believes he is special and doesn't need to do the hard work. He has said as much when he said he doesn't like policy.

@hippyjoe1955 I agree with you half his cabinet being female "because it is 2016" shows the man is an fool but doesn't make him racist because he misjudged someone's appearance.

@JimboUk My point was a joke. How many people have you heard say that they can not tell a race of people apart because they all look the same.
