What does "white nation" have anything to do with it? Sounds like you definitely own a pointy white hat.

They phrased it terribly but I think their point was that it's easy for Americans to shrug off their illegal occupation of Venezuela, but when its closer to home and against a country that looks and speaks the same way they do, Americans might actually complain. But I don't even know at this point considering most Americans seem incapable of fighting back against their government

Yes most Americans are racist against brown people, but knowing us we could really easily be very racist towards Canadians too.

I've got a friend who's a dual citizen of the US and Canada, white, had his brown, Canadian girlfriend with him, drove down to NYC with a Canadian license plate, and on their way back, some truck driver on country roads was giving him a hard time and flipping him fingers. Not sure if the truck driver saw the brown girlfriend, but I'd say it's beyond racist at this point; just dumb nationalists.
