Mike Trent Hates Canadians (i.e Black People)

I couldn't make this stuff up folks....

Assistant District Attorney in Harris County, Texas sent out an email referring to "Canadians" in the jury of a case he had just won. Problem is that obviously, there were no Canadians on the jury (and further, it wouldn't be possible for a Canadian to sit on a jury). However, there were a few black folks.

From the Urban Dictionary:

Canadian:

Expression for black people used by whites as "code" when they want to refer to blacks in a semi-derogatory manner without being detected in a group of people "Jeezus, look at all the Canadians out tonight."

Of course, the guy in question is claiming no foul, and is quoted as saying: "Am I insanely stupid enough to send a racial slur to 250 LAWYERS? Litigious, complaint-ready lawyers, some of whom are African-American?? That is just absurd."

Well, I guess you are probably not insane...but definitely stupid. Not to mention ignorant.

Just a further illustration of the systemic racism that plagues the justice system everywhere.
