on of my coworkers has started using the term 'canadians' when referring to black ppl. i know it's racist bc he does it when he wants to say something racist about black ppl, but i don't know where it comes from. is there some piece of popular media he got it from or is this his own invention?
― Mordy, Thursday, 22 March 2012 13:33 (twelve years ago) link
Derived from Geoffrey Canada, maybe?
― AnnieHalldonia (Deric W. Haircare), Thursday, 22 March 2012 13:37 (twelve years ago) link
If that's the case, it makes the usage feel somehow doubly heinous.

Hasn't the "Canadians" thing been brought up before?
― Number None, Thursday, 22 March 2012 13:39 (twelve years ago) link
It's an old restaurant worker meme. I'm sure if you wanted to Google "black people" Canadians, something would show up. (besides pictures of Rick Fox.)

Yes, still in use (in the US south at least) c. 2003 when I last waited tables.

speaking of, what do y'all think of the "Chinese Woman" Seinfeld episode? I'm not really sure if it's offensive or not though it basically revolves around the "yellow fever" concept without saying it directly

more akin to using the term 'oriental' and wondering why people are getting upset.

best part of that "about us" text is this admission nonchalantly slipped into the middle of it: "Nowadays, Abercrombie and Fitch piracy in China has spread to unimaginable proportions."
