I'm just going to say this differently because sometimes I can't tell when people are joking and when they are not and I think this is important:
The term "Canadian" is used by some people to describe a black person. This is done because saying someone is Canadian is less likely to get you in trouble than if you tell someone that there is a table of blacks or something like that. It is not meant to disparage Canada in any way, at least it is not in every instance I have ever heard it.
