I’ve seen a massive difference in how we get treated in customer service situations compared to how I was treated when I was dating a white girl, not to mention the endless stares we get in public. It’s almost like people haven’t seen a very dark person with a white person before. Idk I feel like I’m rambling but it’s not an Alberta problem, racism is everywhere in this country and if you disagree you just haven’t talked to someone whose experienced it.

My ex wife was half native and I know exactly what you're talking about. It was a real eye opener to see the difference in how people interacted with us vs when I was alone or with other white people
