I plan on traveling to Canada, but I do have this worry.

To be more specific, I'm not kinda black, my skin's somehow white, but I have black relatives, which means I got wavy hair and some other things.

Oh yes, I know why people have picked up a distorted and prejudiced view of Albertans.

Should I go "oh, okay then, carry on believing that and propagating the stereotype?"

It's true that we've got a terrible premier. It is not true that it's "unsafe" for tourists to visit. It's not true that "everyone in Alberta thinks being compared to Texas is a compliment." And so I will call those falsehoods out when they're propagated.
