This is a bit disturbing.

Is 'Canadian' the new racial slur in the South?

How completely bizarre. Some slurs make a twisted sort of sense, and you can trace some vague etymology that explains the usage. But this... it's too strange to make me even curious. Perhaps I'll ask, should I ever hear someone use it.

I'm almost hoping I hear someone use it, but all the Arkansas people said they'd never heard of it, so i'm unlikely to hear it on my upcoming trip. Which is just as well, because I'd be risking a broken nose to confront someone about their usage.
