[quote=Anonymous]I am the black Montrealer. Most black people in Montreal are French speaking (from the Caribbean or West Africa). In general, Montrealers are pretty bilingual, though. I love Montreal, but you will find more explicit racism there than in other parts of North America (eg, people assuming you are poor or like rap music even if they don't know you). And they say things out loud that other people would keep to themselves. "You are a doctor? Did you get into medical school because of affirmative action?" It is kind of like being a black person in Europe from that perspective. It shouldn't dissuade you, though. It is a really fun city and I would encourage anyone to visit. [/quote]
