Not more racist, more outwardly racist.
Sorry if you think Alberta doesn't have a racism problem when it comes to Natives.

Pick one.
Or are you suggesting, contrary to pretty much all evidence that tighter integration breeds acceptance, that if we were all closer the racism would just explode? Or is it only when the communities are close together but separated. So they live close by, but aren't integrated. You know, like segregation, in the South.
Just some odd posts.

I'm saying you don't get drive by racism in Alberta like it occurs in the US to the same degree, but the under-the-surface feeling is equal to what those in the South show their, uh, neighbors.
