"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.

At risk of rezzing an old thread...

The term Canadian as blacks is indeed the way servers and bartenders have been getting away with complaining about about bad black tippers. It is epidmic in the south- the term and many blacks who eat and drink out. I used to think that it was a myth because in the north and out west where I have tended bar.. it was not much of an issue.. but southern blacks (where I live now) are really the worst tippers on earth.. of course.. my dad is white and from the country and he is just as bad a tipper. So many in my industry say "Damn Canadians". Even my black coworkers.
