“Canadian” Is a New Racist Euphenism?
This is news to me. Has anyone heard about this elsewhere?
From Boing Boing:
The Canadian National Post looks on with mild horror as American linguists report on the growing trend in the American south to use “Canadian” as a masking euphemism for black people, so that white racists can say socially inappropriate things without tipping listeners off about the cancer in their souls.
