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.

Canada is not a progressive shangri-la that media portrays. Cities are very multicultural, but those groups hate each other. Rural Canada is all white and full of hate. Quebec is fine in Montreal and Quebec city, but the rest of the province hates immigrants.

However, you will not encounter open hate and violence like the USA shithole.

Nice blanket generalization of a whole population.

Also, the most racist anti immigrant shit I see is from Ontarians and Albertans and about Indian-Canadians.

So, in other words; fuck off, asshole.

Yeah, I'm here. We have minorities (for some reason - you crossed an ocean, why Buttfuck, AB?) and everyone seems to get along at least in public. Not sure how much worse it is than the city on race issues, honestly, although I'm white and it makes it hard to tell. You'll have a lot more trouble if you're gay, and I try very hard to hide my politics.

Interestingly, Evangelicalism has been hit especially hard with a demographic shift as their missionary converts come back, and their white members leave.
