Okay perhaps this is a little tangential but it show how naive we are up here and how we are seen by others: "'Canadian' has apparently become a code word for blacks among American racists." This from the front page of the National Post, Friday, January 25 2008.
Also in the news this morning, (NP, 25/01/08,p2) a Canadian (if I may be so specific) has been "charged with promoting hatred against an identifiable group through Internet postings" in Regina. Another Canadian (really!) "a voice of white supremacists for years, has abandoned the movement and is accused of working for the FBI"...same paper, today's edition.
Weird news! Clearly old dogs can learn new tricks, as the last quote shows, while old attitudes die hard as the first two point out. Internet postings are clearly taken seriously in a legal sense and being Canadian is a red flag for racists, as we now are informed. How many of them work for the border patrol we have no way of knowing but I doubt many regard jazz as passe or square.
Bet there's a search engine with the word "dangerous" attached...
Melodramatically,
I
