In Texas, "Canadian" is the new code for "black"

  1. I don't think it's just a Texas thing. Here's urbandictionary...

    canadian
    310 up, 185 down


    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

    "Jeezus, look at all the Canadians out tonight."

    I heard the term Canadians thrown around in Indiana, and I've also heard it thrown around by people in the Chicago area. I think it is more of a "hipster" term among younger folks than a regional thing. If being racist is hip.

    I can't believe this made it to three pages. I thought it was good for six posts and would rightfully drop to page three.
