He’s Canadian

I was tabling for a first-year orientation information booth at my university along with many others, all POC (people of color), mostly East or South Asian. We would try to greet first years and their parents so we could engage them in conversation and give them free stuff. We tried to catch the attention of a student and his mother, both white, but his mother shook her head at first and tried to keep walking. When we tried again, she said “oh no, he’s Canadian.”
