The Rude Pundit hits the nail on the head with a 40lb sledge.
Glad to see the Romney-bot post get some love.
so canadian is the new word for being black in your country. Classy real classy, and people you'll notice I didn't regionalize,due to having met people from all over your country.
Oh and yes I am insulted.And one other thing
I AM A CANADIAN AND DAMN PROUD OF IT
Yes, "Canadian" is code for black person...10 years ago. I first heard about it from people who waited tables. Maybe the Asians started it.
Hey, as long as we're catching these things at the height of their popularity, you got any Titanic jokes in you? No? You are the weakest link. Goodbye!
Oh yeah. Canada sucks! =P
I didn't know 'Canadian' was code for black people. What maybe old news for some is new for others. Of course, I'm actually Canadian, so I would not have heard that it was being used as a racist euphemism. And I imagine many people in Northern states would not have heard this term either. It's good that this gets out there for everyone to see.
I don't think this rates with either the watching or the sinking of the 'Titanic'. Sorry #5, you are the weakest link sausage. Also, the original story came from "The National Post", a Canadian paper. So, yes, its news to us and to the U.S.
