"Canadian" is the new "nigger"

"Canadian" has become the new slur for "black" in some parts of the South, according to Canada's National Post.

I am so boggled I do not know where to begin.  Thanks be to [livejournal.com profile] kcatalyst for the tip.

More than once I have been tempted to fight this as well. If it's called a gratuity it is, by legal definition, voluntary. OTOH I recognize that who I really want to fight is management not the unfortunate server. If I'm ever in a group *and* get bad service, I will fight it.

I have told servers to remove pre-calculated tips added to my credit card slip as a "convenience" to me.
