White Canadians are just as racist as white Americans but they hide it. You will never know that the white Canadian that you think is very inclusive is an absolute racist unless something important comes up like giving a job to a non white person over a white person.
I am glad that you say this. I once worked in a Canadian bank in NYC. That was the most racist place that I ever worked. They were just "polite" about it.
Give me the American. They are loud and rude and so racism is out there so we can speak about it. Try that with white Canadians and they roll into a hysterical ball. And the problem is that some non whites living in Canada buy into the same BS as well, so add to the chorus.
Ironically the best thing for race relations is Donald Trump. Since his arrival all of the bigots are open so the white liberals, who denied that racism continued to exist during the Obama era, calling the USA "post racial" now look quite stupid. So now when people raise this as an issue they are taken more seriously.
White liberals are by definition so because they are accepting of many reasons blacks insist affect them differentially on account of color. It is white conservative who say Obama proved there is no racism in America and that we should abandon many legal structures that over see racial justice.
Some whites did chose him inorder for him to win. Maybe, it had to do with his mother being white. The Afro in him came from a Kenyan student, never an immigrant or a ciitzen of America.
An Afro-American with white blood several generations ago would not be that fortunate. So many had tried before Obama.
Sometime ago, an old White America woman travelling by plane having a conversation with an African Student from African. She said, she do not mind sitting at the table for dinner with an African and she would do all to assist his studies but never a N word.
I wonder why the hatred.
