The tourism association is promoting the province in a way that makes it so that "people from the States can get away from all the black people that live near them"? As a white Southerner who moved to Nova Scotia, I take offense to such a small-minded, racist, overgeneralizing statement. When I travel, I use information about hotels, car rentals, and attractions to help sway my decisions, not the skin color of others. I love it when people talk down about the misguided, ignorant beliefs of others, then use their own misguided, ignorant beliefs as support for their argument. Well done, Jones and The Coast!
