Did you guys hear about this new 'code' name?

In the US, the new code word for blacks or the 'N word' is "Canadians".
How do you feel about this?

I personally am getting quite fed up with the derogatory comments Americans tend to make the moment they find out I'm a Canadian. I've even been referred to as a 'communist' because I like the fact that we don't pay out of pocket at the hospital.

That's one of the most retarded things I've ever heard

I've never heard of this. That's stupid.

The kind of Americans who disparage Canada have never been there. I had the chance to become a Canadian in the sixties. I try to kick myself at least once every day for missing that opportunity!

I have never heard someone refer to an African American with a "code" name, obviously this is an isolated incident. There are still racist people in the US as well as in Canada, one day they will become extinct as more and more of them actually seek education they will die off. You must have met some mean Americans, I have always had nice encounters with Americans and they love that I am from Canada.

The one that I heard on a business trip to the States several years ago was "ethnics". The Yanks like to pick on Canada and Canadians because we just sit there and take it. The President of Mexico is raising twelve different kinds of @#$%^&*() about the Americans trying (half heartedly) illegal immigration. The Yanks keep saying terrorists come through Canada and our PM says zilch and its not just this one its been all of them lately.

Yeah I've heard of it.
I'm not racist at all so I think people shouldnt even talk about them like that.. if you're going to talk about them in a normal manner, and not at all racist just call them black. If people are using that so they don't know, why talk about them at all? It's obviously not anything nice. Actually, some of my relatives use it, which i'm completely against.

Personally I think your a liar & a poop disturber. I'm American living in Canada for 2 years now & have never heard of this
except by rascist people trying to start something!!!

Yes, I heard about this. It is unfourtunate that there are a few american people that are rasist and what to disturb sh!t. It is these people that give America the reputation that it has.

WOW!!! Never heard of that. I'm kind of shocked and speachless - why "Canadian", why not a different word?

Hopefully the uneducated and ignorant will wisen up some day.

Good anticipation Dear. learn from people's mistakes and recognize societies fallacies and failures...As for your feelings - Its O.K always to speak of and to be spoken of you know.....cheers...

What, do you have something against African Americans that you feel slighted to be associated with them.

Seems the pot is calling the kettle black (pun intended).
