From Webster's: "race" b : a class or kind of people unified by community of interests, habits, or characteristics <the English race> "racism" Discrimination or prejudice based on race. Ergo, as you discriminated against all Canadians with a derogatory and racially inclusive remark--your comment was racist. But I don't wish to argue with you. We can just call your remark bigoted, ugly, and prejudiced...and leave it at that. But you do obviously think that the grouping, "Canadian", has very specific negative characteristics which relate to all individuals in that grouping or category. Thus, you have defined them as a race by your own urge to malign and denigrate on the basis of nationality. How stupid can you be? You can fool around with words all you like, but that is not what is essential here. What is esential is that you have attached an ugly characteristic to 30 some million individuals strictly on the basis that they belong to a recognizable group. Something is surely the matter with you...
