A former hostess at an Arizona Cracker Barrel says the restaurant used a “code word” to refer to Black people, Newsweek reports. The former Cracker Barrel employee shared the news on TikTok, in a video that’s been viewed over 260,000 times.
In the 15-second video, TikToker @cinnamnhoney, said while she worked at Cracker Barrel, she’d often wonder how her coworkers would be able to identify a table of “Canadians” even if they didn’t have an accent. A few seconds later, she revealed that “Canadians” was actually code word for Black people.
“I had an old co-worker come and ask me if I saw the gang outside, it was a black family… ‘any group of 3 or more of them is a gang!’ he told me,” one user wrote. Some people even said that the word “Canadian” is a common code for Black people in businesses.
“This happened to me too but at a water park I was a lifeguarding! I had NO idea,” Newsweek reports one user wrote.
They continued, saying “the other lifeguards were saying ‘yeah I had to jump in after a Canadian.’ ‘Canadians can’t swim.’ And I said how do you know they’re Canadian.”

Kwai Mai and the commies don’t realize how sick we are of this.
Smells like bull chit to me.
Didn’t happen.
It is.
The ACLU and other left wing organizations fish out stories like this, and as I posted the other day, send in some rowdy people to act insolent and belligerent in small towns, and then claim, “racism”.
It’s never going to end.
They got code words for themselves, but I can’t put half of ‘em in print.
Cracker Barrel is using code words to describe black folk.
Ya can’t make this stuff up. Damn crackers...
Oh, I get it. Just look at the Smollett spectacle. And many others.
What is ‘cracker’ code word for ?
The “Canadian” euphemism among food servers is a real thing. No idea how it started, but I’ve heard it for decades. It’s not a “Cracker Barrel thing” any more than it’s a “Denny’s thing” or an “Ihop thing.” It’s a “restaurant business thing.” The unvarnished reality is that a lot waiters/waitresses privately will tell you that they don’t really enjoy serving large parties of blacks, as they can be, on average, poor tippers while simultaneously being very demanding as customers. Definitely not politically correct to say it, but that’s how many of food service people feel.
wait, I may have that backwards!
any comment from the real Canadians?
Demanding? I’ve personally seen some groups of black folk treat waitresses down right vicious. Not once, but multiple times. Real big attitudes that push people to the limit. I told one waitress she should just quit and walk out. No one needs that kind of abuse.
I'm sure we whiteys are referred to in nasty terms by many latinos and others....
as far as true Canadians, they DO have an accent and I can usually pick it up right away.
I think Canadian-Face Trudeau made that illegal.
I guess we could change it to ‘teens’ like the news media does.
Well, in summer 2020, the terms were “mostly peaceful protestors” as well as “undocumented shoppers.”
This usage has been around since I was a kid.
I worked at an employment agency where they were referred to as a 12.
