"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.

My foster father - who I love inspite of his racism- took to using "Canadian" instead of "nigger" about 5 years ago when he met his Korean fiance. I don't know whether he learned it from her or they both picked it up somewhere else at the same time.
