Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games choosing contractors based on race

Aboriginal business: 51% owned, operated and controlled by Canadian Aboriginal people, and at least one third of the firm’s employees, if it has six or more full-time staff, are Aboriginal.

Women-owned business: 51% owned, operated and controlled by Canadian citizens who are female. (…)

Call me crazy but isn’t a racial purity test for contracts just a little creepy?

Obviously the people at the Pan Am Games don’t think so and so if you can check off one of these boxes you are more likely to get a contract.
