I plan on traveling to Canada, but I do have this worry.

To be more specific, I'm not kinda black, my skin's somehow white, but I have black relatives, which means I got wavy hair and some other things.

why are you taking it personally that were talking about you specifically?

I know many great Albertians. But they're a slim minority. The people, as a whole, are not as good to interact with if your a person if color. this is coming from friends who are.

we're not saying you specifically are an ass, but that a lot more people are asses in Alberta than most other places in Canada.

I gave you a few light hearted examples.

how about the person who crashed into my friends cart for wearing a mask in a store and said "don't rob me".

how about all the terrible things said about natives out there?

how about the police running moonlight walks?

or the anti abortion ads that used to be on trucks and on the university campus showing graphic photos?

there's more than you there.
