When I was a waitress at Olive Garden, I learned the White people there used “Canadian” as a code word for Black people. I know this because one of my coworkers who was White told me. I asked why he was so angry by someone saying that, my ass thought they was really Canadian. 🤦🏽‍♀️
He ended up getting fired because he called out the kitchen manager on it. To be fair, he also said he was going to “beat the dog shit out of his racist ass” so....Turns out his stepdad was Black. He put me on to all sorts of code words racist White folk say.
