French Canadians are "Raciste"

Parti Québécois leader, André Boisclair, called Asians "slanty-eyed gooks".

OK, not exactly, but sort of.

He said, recently, of his experience at Harvard, "I was surprised to see that on campus, about one-third of the students doing their bachelor degrees had les yeux bridés."

"Les yeux bridés" is French for "the slanting eyes". Apparently, it's not a derogatory French coloquialism, but when translated into English, overly sensitive contrarians view it as extremely politically incorrect and racist.

I think it sort of sounds racist, but I'm not that offended by it.
Frankly, I don't even know what stereotype Boisclair is referring to.
