Ha. I gave you your token black guy. :)

A friend of mine teaches at a school in north Etobicoke (one of those infamous neighbourhoods, either Jamestown or St. Jamestown), the main constituents of which are Somali and Jamaican, at something like a 2:1 ratio. The Somalis, he says, refer to the Jamaicans as "black"; they're not "black" themselves. But they're not exactly anybody's idea of "African-Canadians", either....
