Aboriginal magazine turning tables on CBC tolerance poll

There's been somestrong response to a CBC poll that found people on the prairies are less tolerant toward aboriginal peoplewhen compared to others across the country.

The editor of a Saskatchewan-based aboriginal magazine has reversed some of the questions asked in the CBC poll.

Chris Ross, the editor and publisher of RezX magazine,simply replaced the word "aboriginal" in his poll with "white or Caucasian."

Ross is asking how aboriginal peoplewould feel about dating a white person or how comfortable they would feel if a Caucasian person moved in next door.

"In order for us to really build on those (CBC poll results), we have to ask the other questions too and that's why I put the poll out there. To balance that out and to see, to see what both sides thought," said Ross.

Ross is still tabulating responses, but so farmore than 90 per cent of the respondents are aboriginal.Most saidthey are very comfortable with non-aboriginal people.
