That's just one incident. I've walked into a bar asking for directions and had idiots in there muttering "Triad". I was in a ML430 behind my buddy in his S430, the cop waves at the kids in the backseat, I come up to the stop and I'm asked for License, Insurance, and registration. I've been in this line for some time to Whistler and I get stopped? I've had racist "Jokes" from people I met minutes before told to my face, but it's okay, because it's a joke. I've got way more, but dont' feel like typing it all. I understand the plight of the black man in the US.
I had racism in the US as a kid, as I got older, it was less and less. I had more incidents of racism in Canada, than I did my whole life in the US. Off the top of my head, I've been stopped and had a "Check" done on me for no reason other than race at least 3 times.
Even after that, I still loved my time there. There is always a bad to good, it's life.
