Southern racists adopt "Canadian" as a euphemism for "black"

All in all, there really isn't that much we can do about this. If people have these thoughts they should speak them. Whites are prejudiced against other whites and blacks are prejudiced against other blacks. It is human nature.

no it isn't. it's taught by society. people aren't born racist.
 
Canadians kick ass

I guess there's two possibilities,
1) These people see "Canadians" as foreigners and therefore hate them and therefore have miraculously lumped black people and them together to simplify things (their brains obviously do not enjoy complexity)
2) "Canadian" is considered about as bland and unoffensive as you can get and using the term is meant ironically.

I assume (2), but does anyone know in what context this originated and/or spread?

It's meant as the latter. They say Canadian in lieu of a derogatory name for black people because it carries no negative meaning to anyone.

BTW, that's the point, you real Canadians; you're so bland and inoffensive, and that's why people use the term. Sorry for getting your hopes up.
 
have heard this term in NYC for some time. i'd wager it's more a euphenism for 'n**ger' than black because the way in which it is used is blatantly racist and insulting.
 
i'll make it easier:

"canadian- Expression for black people used by whites as "code" when they want to refer to blacks in a semi-derogatory manner without being detected in a group of people "

also let me throw this in:

" code-system used for brevity or secrecy of communication, in which arbitrarily chosen words, letters, or symbols are assigned definite meanings. "

it basically got popular. any word could be used as code. i could go around calling black people water bottles with a disgust or racist intention and it'd be no different than using N*gger i'm because i'm lumping them as as one thing and looking down upoin them. the only difference is people around me that don't know me couldn't pick up on it. (this is an example, i'm not racist.)

which is why we use codes in war. so other people can't pick up on it! sheesh.

Similarly, with that said. 4chan could coin codes for derogatory words of whatever that want (fa**ot=dr pepper). make it a meme. and then they'd be banned on neogaf cause it'd be popularly known as a substitution.

Evil, yet creative and full of whimsy. They should look into the mad scientist field.

I'm going to err on the side of caution and assume that because of this we can't use the word Canadian on here as a joke descriptor anymore?
Like in the "Name my cat!" thread?
 
Hahah really? My dad (who is a total racist) has been using Canadian as a euphemism for black people for ages. He does it so his friends and stuff will know what he's talking about if there are kids or "innocents" around.
 
Yeah, it's sounding like it's not a widespread thing, and not really confined to the South. Just a small portion of people use it. I know I've lived in the Sotuh my whole life and never heard anyone called a Canadian outside of tourists.

I've heard this before and I live in New York. I don't think it's a very nice term though. I know some Applebees workers who call them "Canadians" when they get bad tips from black people, so I mean you can pretty much figure it out.

of course its not. its a way to mask their racism. kinda of like how anti-semites have latched onto the word zionist. same deal. they dont say an 'offensive' word, so they feel better about themselves.
 
reminds me of something I heard about how the guy thought Canadians really liked him. Said he went up there and all he heard was how much they hate Americans. He was like "what the hell? we consider you guys like our little brother. you're in the same vein as north dakota to us. but you guys actually hate us? who knew?" :lol

anywho. i've heard this shit, too. one reason I hope obama wins, so closet racists have to stew in their squalor privately. it'll be awesome.
 
I wonder if this has anything to do with how some people used to insult others in online games by calling them Canadians.
 
That's new to me. The racist southerner is a breed I don't understand. It's so pathetic.
 
Where i work, they call african american's "Monday's".

"No one likes Monday's:

"Don't you hate those ****ing Mondays"

It works well fro them, they can say it to black guys and they just agree.

Come on now, if we had a magic White Missile that turned everybody on the planet "White" - then surely the rich and poor would skip hand and hand down the street, the Christians and Muslims would get along, etc. :P

See! Race is what's going to ruin humanity. Not social status, religion, or the Jews </Mel Gibson> :P

Whatever happened to calling a spade a spade? :X

Okay, that's enough dangerously lowbrow for the day. /me runs for cover. . .

WTF, you work at the Klan hq?
 
Just the general ignorance of Canada is what's appalling.

Let's call them nigras folks who have a strong dollar, decent economy, a good health care system, etc. THAT'LL SHOW 'EM! HYUK. . .
 
I live in the South, and I've never heard this.


My father (who IS Irish), just says "nigras," "Negroes," "Negress" though when he's had a few drinks late at night, he'll mutter stuff about "niggahs causing trouble" when he sees the news.


He also sees no problem with "Oriental," "Chinaman," and "Jap."

Buddy of mine from high school taught me Canadians. That was about 7 years ago I think.. a wigger is a French Canadian. I don't see what makes it 'racist' though.

Because you're just swapping one word for an unsuspecting other. You're still fucking calling them niggers.
 
"Don't get me wrong some of my best friends are Canadian but I won't want them to date my daughter."

you sir are part of the problem

And as stupid as this is, there are even more stupid things people do. Like kill each other in a dispute as to who's god/prophet is better.
 
Meier said:
Exactly. It's not like every time you refer to someone of another race/color, it's in the most derogatory form possible.

If you're using it to mean "those Blacks," then yes, that's racist. Do people not know what "racist" and "derogatory" mean any more?

What does derogatory mean and how does it apply if the word is not used in a derogatory manner? In fact, the way Meier is using it is going out of his way not to be offensive in case someone is offended by using "black" as a descriptor.

then why mask it with code words? why even point out a persons race when its completely unnecessary?

Your reply sounds a lot like the Dog the Bounty Hunter tape. If you're using race to summarize someone's behavior, e.g., waitresses' not wanting to serve tables with Black customers, then that's fucking derogatory.

Are you actually being dense here? Who said anything about that at all? That's not the word being derogatory, that's the WHOLE SENTIMENT. The word "nigger" is seen as racist and derogatory because of historical connotations and the sentiment behind it.

Recently he told me an enchanting tale that he heard at his law firm.

An intern, a "large young Negress," was rumored to have some kind of mental issues, and apparently had been obsessed with her preacher. One day this preacher came home and heard someone upstairs. He ran next door to a neighbor's and called the police. The cops found the woman taking a bath in the preacher's bathtub. There was a bottle of wine and wine glasses next to the tub, lit candles sitting on the counter and toilet, and rose petals scattered on the bath water. She told the police, "I am waiting, for my fee-yon-SAY." (She was married with two kids) The preacher got a restraining order on her.


If you're wondering how this is relevant to the topic, my father said that the moral was this: "Imagine! You come home and this Negress is sitting in your tub with rose petals on the water! Negroes are funny. There ain't no accountin' for 'em, but they're funny!"



I would have done the world's biggest facepalm if I hadn't heard him say those little phrases a thousand times before.

I see that it's always a mistake to view a post from your Ignore List.
