It was when people began to send her death threats that University of Victoria English professor Misao Dean began to get scared. Last year, Dean found herself at the centre of a cyberbullying storm after an interview with CBC 180 was picked up by international media outlets quoting her out of context. "I found that using the term 'white' was a bit of a ... red flag for some listeners who took offence that I had used that term," she said. "It's important for me and for other women, that we don't step back when someone tries to shut us up." Anyone who wants to talk to me about it, you can't shut me up really."
