I live in Quebec and was born Haitian eventhough I never really lived there and let me tell you one thing racism towards black people is everywhere just like racism towards people of other cultures.
One thing I understood about racism is where are you from? How were you raised and what tv shows/programs/movies do you watch? I realised that when I moved from the country to Montreal. People in Mtl have a different views of people from different culture because most of them actually have to do many things with different people and were most often exposed to those differences at a younger age.
People from the country or from cities that have a low multi cultural population grow up with people that looks and behave only like them. They get in touch with other cultures mostly from tvs and newspaper (which are both bad as teaching culture imo). How, where and by who you were raised is really important. |
I'll add the info to OP. I was born and raised in montreal, and actually had a nanny help raise me up until the age of 4 to help my mum who had 6 kids and raised us mostly alone while my father was away running his business in another city.

Well no offense but don't look too far ;) I personnaly think it's more you than anything else then.
Just because there are bad rappers and most of them are black people doesn't mean black people are like them. It would be like saying that during their life white people would shoot in schools because most shooters in schools are white... anyway maybe you need to differentiate people more about who they are more than their skin color. That stigma you're talking about doesn't exists in everyone, it exists in one's mind and only one's mind can make it go away.
