Well, I was joking with BL cuz he's a good guy. But if someone posted a Green Pepper in a Habs thread, it would be like someone having an avatar of Rick James to mock black people. That make sense to you?

which in fairness is absurd in itself.

Oh. Well...then....nevermind.

The derogatory term for French Canadians is "peppers". There is history behind it which i will not explain, but for them it is as bad as the "n word" would be for you.

google "french Pepper"

around here (southern Ontario anyway) it was used a lot in hockey to mean "french Canadian hockey player" too.

it's not a compliment.

I just didn't know how regional it was or if it was an actual common slur...

some find it more offensive than "Frogs" cause that is more towards France, whereas "pepper" is refers to french-canadian

Oh. Well...then....nevermind.
