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."
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.
