It’s Canada here not Switzerland, we’re not European origins or whatever we are Canadians sounds like you just saw a bunch of tourists going at each others.
Stupid and disrespectful people are everywhere, all the time, maybe your expectations about highly educated folks from metropolitan area are wrong after all.

So, me and a few friends of mine have noticed a tendency in Montreal for people to like make really gross racial stereotypes about people of non european origins. While this is something that is usually more typical among the more trashy or more bottom of the barrel elements of society in say Singapore or Dubai, it is pretty accepted in what are seen as even more middle/upper class elements of society here. Like i'd expect these sorts of attitudes to be more common in more rural areas where people are just not very well educated or exposed to other cultures and don't know any better, but like in a metropolitan and diverse city, it's kind of disturbing that these attitudes are even tolerated. It's bad for business, it's trashy, and contributes to a view of quebec as being more backwards/hick from an international businessmen pov.
