Kinda makes me wonder why nationalism is acceptable while racism isn't.

Always wondered that. People find being deragatory against people of other races or sexual orientation disgusting, yet they find being deragatory against a nationality perfectly acceptable.

Also, I agree that ignorance could be the ultimate thing that could do the human race in. Sadly, most people are fine with being ignorant and eating up whatever the media feeds them.

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. "

Hmm, never knew thats what it meant but after checking http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Canadian

guess I've been living under a rock, not having heard of this before.

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."

one friend of mine uses "negress" to describe fashion model type black chicks.

he likes big butts, so the model type body is seen as inferior to him.

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.

OH SNAP!

i think i've been called a monday before... hahaha wowow
 
'Negress' is an old term. I often see it crop up in pulp fiction from the 20s and 30s, and I'm not at all surprised to hear it used by less sensitive older people today. Although comparatively mild (read: non-hateful) racial prejudice was common in polite society in those days, 'negress' was not a derogatory term in and of itself. The same goes for 'jewess', which has been used for centuries, often quite respectfully.

Edit: Wow at the Canadian thing by the way.
 
God I fucking hate the South.

Seriously, Canadian? How the hell does that make sense? Is it some sort of "You're not American if you are black" nonsense?

I would imagine it's because it would never appear to be racist on the surface. Same reason they use Monday as a code.

Abraham Lincoln: What a charming Negress. Oh, forgive me, my dear. I know in my time some used that term as a description of property.

Uhura: But why should I object to that term, sir? In our century, we've learned not to fear words.

no and it's not just the fuckin south. it's prevalent in the restaurant business because when the exchange rate was poor, canadians got the reputation as not being the best tippers here in the states...

Racists are stupid. Racism is ignorance.
 
Hasn't there been pressure from black leaders to get hip-hop artists to stop using the N-word? I'd love to hear a rap song with the word "Canadian" used as the bleep for a radio edit.
 
I'll take that as a compliment since I love being Canadian as we're so multicultural. Black, White, Asian, Indian, Native American, Mexican, etc... we're all just Canadians and that's an awesome thing.

Seriousely, I love taking the best from all cultures. I don't know why anybody would want to be limited to one culture... one way of thinking.

Good old Irish Americans. It is funny how much blacks and Irish don't like each out East and I guess maybe the south too..

I love meeting Irish people from Ireland, grabbing some drinks (blacks and Irish drinking imagine that!) and having them tell me "We understand how blacks in America we are the niggers of Europe!" and with how much they have been shit on they aren't wrong.
 
Racists think blacks are dumb and equate them to Canadians. Ooookkaaayyy.....

Why is anyone even taking this stupid shit seriously? :lol If anything, southern racists should equate blacks to THEMSELVES. But that would be counterintuitive...but it's not like it isn't already stupid.

eh? It is just a way to talk about how they hate black people in public. Since they are in the south the chances of a Canadian being around is slim, and they can talk about them when they are not in a huge group or on the Internet without fear of being stomped out in the street
 
As a black man I don't know if I should be flattered or appalled by this?

At least I'll be well informed enough to know what people are actually saying.
 
I get a real sense of self-satisfaction coming from this, which bugs me. The other stuff I've heard of (along the lines of "yo" used by police, according to David Simon) at least feels organic. This is just too precious.

The poor racists got so tired of being persecuted, they came up with their own clever ichthys. Blech.
 
I'd never heard of this, and told the story to my very liberal parents. They started saying it in a very arch, ironic way and I can tell it's going to stick in their brains and get them in trouble sometime.
 
sooooo...... are there any other secret word codes anyone can share :D

I would offer a "secret words" exchange myself....but I don't know any that describes Whites, Asians, European etc.....in a secret way....

Racism and ones ignorance of other cultures is what starts wars. War will be the death of humanity. Hence racism and all forms of it will be the death of humanity as we know it.

I guess you're one for melodrama.
 
Up here, we have the following code words:

Fililpinos = hardwood flooring
Chinese = McCheese's (as in The Mayor)
blacks = bird houses
Irish = Toyotas
Natives = thumbs
Japanese = 0% financing
East Indians = Sunlight detergent bubbles
Germans = fruit leather

It's like cockney rhyming slang... minus the rhyming part.

You live in Savannah, Crushed. Most of the people there don't bother to use code.

They do just north of you in Hilton head tho.
 
Yeah, this shouldn't be news to you if you've ever known anyone that worked as a waiter, or really in almost any hospitality field. Generally it is a title that certain black groups tend to earn by either not tipping or causing a hassle (complaining about the meal so it's free, sending things back and ordering entirely different dishes). I've never heard anyone use it as a catch-all for all blacks, or use it outside of the restaurant setting.

This article is at least 10 years behind the curve, as far as I can tell. :lol Ironically, bringing attention to this euphemism is only going to cause more people to use it.
 
I still think the South shoud secede . . . we'll let you go this time w/o a fight. You are a drag on the economy and society's progress.
