But the rest of your post is probably bang on. I am always amazed at the level of subtle racism when I'm in the US, and that is simple, every day life. Never mind the well known disparity in how blacks, whites and other races are treated by the legal system.

Every time I talk to my friend I hear the racial undertones because it's a different world down there. Every now and again he throws in a "I don't want to sound racists but..." I tell him that Canada is very different and it's hard for me to understand what is actually going on down there. We know racism exists and everyone feels it to some extent, but it's so ingrained the cultures down there. The segregation and the hate is so nerve-racking, disturbing and sad.
