Historically, Canada has had less racism than the U.S. Back in the days of slavery, there was the ‘Underground Railroad’, where slaves were smuggled out of the south and into freedom. Contrary to popular belief, they were not trying to get into the North U.S. They were trying to reach Canada, where they could live as free people. Harriet Tubman, the ‘leader’ of the Railroad, also had a home there. Interracial marriage was also legal in Canada long before it was legal in the U.S. That is something that is still seen as a problem here, people marrying out of their own ethnic background. From what I have been told by people who have lived in both Canada and the U.S., they feel the U.S. stresses ethnic differences much more than Canada. I have heard many comment that the stress of racism in much stronger in the states.
