It was a routine e-mail from the boss sent to congratulate a junior prosecutor in Houston, Tex., who had won manslaughter convictions against an intoxicated driver.

"He convicted Mr. Sosa of a double intoxication manslaughter, got a weak jury to give him 12 years in each, and then convinced Judge Wallace to stack the sentences," Harris County assistant district attorney Mike Trent wrote in an office-wide memo. Then came the odd part: "He overcame a subversively good defence by Matt Hennessey that had some Canadians on the jury feeling sorry for the defendant and forced them to do the right thing."

I've never heard of this. It wouldn't matter if these ignoramuses had adopted the euphemism of European, Greek, Australian, or peanut butter. It's offensive in any light.

So If I see a person of African descent sporting plates from Ontario, do I risk getting in a fight now for asking if he is a Canadian?

You know, my friends and I in college thought we came up with this. I had no idea other people used it too. We had code for black and white. We never used it (being silly college kids) but we had agreed on terms we could use if the exigency should ever arise lol.
