I plan on traveling to Canada, but I do have this worry.

To be more specific, I’m not kinda black, my skin’s somehow white, but I have black relatives, which means I got wavy hair and some other things.

    if your taking things that literally on the internet, I can’t help you.

    but what I can say is I didnt know anyone who understood it’s an insult was until I moved out of Alberta. So everyone I met while growing up, yeah.

    for the record I grew up in Calgary.

      OP is being warned to “stay away” specifically from Alberta because we’re apparently not safe to be around, how am I supposed to be taking this? So far the only solid reasons that have been given are:

      • Alberta produces a lot of oil.
      • Someone in a small town post office didn’t wear a mask while picking up a box of books related to Christianity, which I might add is far more widely practised in Canada’s eastern provinces.
      • Apparently “everyone” in Alberta thinks being compared to Texas is a compliment. Based on the fact that you personally didn’t know anyone who thought otherwise, in your particular social bubble.

      So yeah, I’m rather offended. I think OP would have a perfectly fine time coming to visit Alberta.
