The seemingly serious and possibly racist Canadian Immigrant Report has taken a very 21st century protest route and made an angry Facebook group to condemn American punk rock group NOFX’s upcoming appearance at Riot Fest Toronto, a contemporary punk rock music festival taking place on September 9, 2012.

In a post on their seemingly serious and possibly racist website titled “American punk rock band calling for white genocide invited to Toronto Riot Fest,” they cite the band’s satirical “Kill All the White Man” as a genocidal anthem and write that they “have contacted the Riot Fest twice and still waiting for their reply.” Hard to imagine why no one is taking them seriously.

Then they post a video called “Group Polarization and the Fad of Ethnomasochism,” which we won’t even link to because we’re pretty sure it’s a bunch of racist garbage. Summary: evil dudes like Louis CK and Alexisonfire are jerks for turning their backs on and criticizing their white heritage.

It’s worth noting that “Kill All the White Man” has been a troublesome jam for the band since 2006 when the CRTC forced Winnipeg’s Power 97 to apologize for playing it. And then banned it.
