obviously, i assume they are just as racist but just present differently, but is it polite racism like in the south, or more aggressive like the north east. what about anti antisemitism?

    Ime it is genuinely significantly less racist. Now, it's still very racist though just because the bar is so low in America

    It's mostly polite racism in the urban centers. Rarely aggressive in the more rural areas. Much less anti-semitism

    Most racism here is against immigrants (particularly Indians), indigenous people, and foreigners (particularly Chinese people)

    There's very few black and Hispanic people compared to the US but it's still a lot better for them, according to friends/ex's. Way less unhappy stares and avoiding them in public

    In general though the specific forms racism takes place is literally the exact same in America. Black and Arab people are aggressive and scary, East + South Asians are meek, deceiving, and an invading horde, indigenous and SEAsians are dirty and criminals, etc.

    The worst thing about Canada is that racism against Indian immigrants and Chinese people used to be way better, but only because there were way less of the former and the latter weren't perceived as an existential threat yet
