Let’s start with racism against Indigenous people shall we?!

The only racism in Canada is none the only race is bigots are the mainstream media against black and white people shame on you CBC

If you used 3 of the same colored people who look and talk different you would most likely see most of these is just due too how they look and not there skin color. Right now you are just taking peoples denial and differences as racism..

Australia is also a multicultural country. Some racism exist but not much to be concerned of. However, stereotyping does exist, especially with aboriginal people. It is sad, but truth. I don't know why but I guess it is related to the history of the country itself. And I think this also happens to other places i.e. America (as a continent), aboriginal people become marginal.\nI hope those will pass... :(

I've encountered so many RACISTS white people in Canada, I've had a white Male called me the N word in the lcbo, white males walk to me and say what up N and I don't even know them, my job hired all white people before me and I've been their the longest. So YES racism in Canada is HUGEEEEEEEE believe that.

Too much racism out there nobody is doing anything to stop it. If you tried to protect yourself they probably would label you as a murderer. Someone needs to put people in place who are racists.

These people are jus jeolous and insecure...and racism is all they have to make demselves feel better ?

Security Guard: “The whole point is to make someone feel uneasy. So that if the thought of stealing accured. It would stop ? \n\nI still don’t get racism it’s like one of the only things that we LEARN and KEEP wow some people really make me think ? how tf did we make it this far \n\nHumans & Mankind. Wow it’s so ironic that kind is even in the word

I am a dark skinned Indian living in Germany. Trust me, the most racist ones here are immigrants from Arabia, Africa and East Europe. My experiences with them are a real horror. Germans are far more nicer and classier people. Its unfair that whites alone get blamed for racism as if other ethnicities are innocent

oh please even Filipinos can be very hateful of Filipinos. Its not always about racism. Some people can be ultra annoying. Filipinos in some places try build groups and refer to themselves as a community even if they are only 3 people. And they anticipate racism and discrimination, which they provoke by being too insecure.

I'm a Asian and I always face the racism. At first few times I tried to understand those people and the time gose by. It gets worse and now I don't let those people do that to me. Last time I got discriminated by the U.S.A border protection roll player job. Because of skin color they picked me out from the job. Rest of them are white and no black Latinos nor Asians beside me. I'm sure God will judge them for what they do to others like me.

I went to Canada once and I didn't see any of that. Maybe my staying was too short, maybe this whole video is an exaggeration, maybe I didn't interact with regular Canadian people for too long, but the short time I had the opportunity to do so I didn't see any racism in Canadian people.

People like that honestly cannot change. As an indian I actually feel sorry for her because racism doesn't appear out of no where, her parents probably passed it down to her and now she and whoever she passes it onto are stuck with it.

LOL this is so dumb, asking people in a store if they need help has nothing to do with Racism! \n\nAs a white person i been asked that a million times, i guess that racism? LOL

Good I watched this video. So I got the real picture of Canada where racism and hate crimes are growing. I also realised why thousands of Western countries people are making GCC countries as their home Islamic countries are heaven for all nationalities.\nI have to rethink on moving to Canada as a PR

Dislike of racism or racial discrimination, especially during COVID 19 Asians are totally be get racism. Why doesn't everyone solve problems instead of blaming each other? It is better to help solve than to divide each other. Because human beings are not born the same And human beings cannot choose to be born There are good people, and there are bad people. But we can choose to do it, right? Stop racism We should help, should not be divided because of matters that we can fix.

I think people needed to be educate that asians are not all Chinese ignorant people spreading hate to the world what would happened if those people who experienced These racism would do same thing to them in their own country, because this kinds of experiences would never be forgotten in all eternity as the saying what comes around goes around.

Canada is the worse country in the world!! 1 racism 2 no jobs 3 high taxes 4 your foreign diplomas will be never recognized!! 4 expensive to live to rent 1 bedroom 3500$ in Toronto 5 people are so cold and not friendly!!!

Did they all get sent into the same shoppers one after the other? And did the previous people buy anything? Also did the other men go down the baby isle? What if they have a problem with people stealing baby formula. I mean... I'm not saying covert or systemic racism doesn't exist in Canada, but there are so many holes in this video. Also would be interesting to see what would happen if they were dressed up differently.

Want to see discrimination and racism come to Brampton ,where the same people who complains about racism are the same ones posting racist ad. Such as you have to East Indian, you can’t be a smoker, no pets, No blacks, a matter of fact if you’re not Indian I will not rent my property to you... Explain that to me huh ? How can you scream racism when it’s a daily practice here in Brampton mostly by Indians.

Just because you prefer to hang out with or be around a certain people doesnt mean racism is there. Racism is in how you treat other races. Unconscious bias is like chasing a ghost of a ghost. The test on the computer somehow doesnt seem very accurate either. I have a hard time with the fastness of it. Its way too easy to\n p\nush the wrong button in error

See racism just doesn't happen in America, it happens in Canada as well! It's actually worldwide! It just a sad and unfortunate thing that only happens to us people of color.

I wish we had this show in Australia, I'm disabled and have Tasmanian Aboriginal heritage, I must admit I never realised Canadian 1st nations people were referred to as Aboriginal as well, but I found the subtle racism issues are same here with Australian Aboriginals. I did one meet some 1st nation Canadians at an indigenous conference but got so caught up with learning throat singing never really got into the serious issues

I tell you one thing they both have in common and that they are both similar of is that they are both racist towards black people and they both have racism Canada and the United States are the exact same

This is the best journalistic approach I've seen on this matter so far. Yet it still lacks a deepening on the fact that racism and other kinds of discrimination are not exclusively practiced by white people. Had the same experiments been performed in places where other ethnic or cultural groups are the majority, the results most probably would evidence their biases in favor of their own pairs. This evidences that there is an inherent component in discriminatory behavior that goes well beyond of an evil mindset. It’s clear that in general people tend to better identify with those that look like themselves and fear those who don’t. This has been imprinted in our minds all along our species evolution. Could we change that? Yes. Should we change it? Definitely. But it’ll not work if these subtleties are not accounted for and we oversimplify the matter by just pointing fingers to a specific group as the villain.

If people can stop saying “go back to where you’re from” then maybe racism wouldn’t be the topic-instead of blaming the media

Wow I realize how oblivious I am when out in public. Makes me wonder how many times I get racially profiled. While I can recognize there is racism, there are various factors involved for people’s behaviours. There will be people who are very clear with their message but maybe the others could be because of natural human social normalcy. I’d be interested to see an experiment by asking people to decide who are more trustworthy based on what is normal in their society, choosing between two different photos. One with full face covering and the other completely exposed.

Racism, discrimination, ignorance and prejudice are parts of white peoples’ culture and their DNA but things are getting better and there is hope at the end of the tunnel for many reasons so be patient. # Use your brain not your ignorant culture.

I have been to Vancouver and Toronto. I felt more discriminated against because I am American than Black. People asked me if I voted for Trump. Which I did not.\nI’m know racism is in Canada but it’s not like here in the US where you have to worry about the po po.

My only question about these tests, is how large were the sample pools? And one other thing to note, is that compared to almost every other nation on earth, Canada has next to no racism (i believe we are actually the best on earth when it comes to that). I'm white and have traveled to Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and South America, and have experienced racism in every one of those continents. By a large portion of the people I interacted with. I also find that most racism that I have seen or experienced stems from 2 places. One culture and the second a lack of experience in interacting with other races.

RACISM IS BORN OUT OF STEREOTYPES AND STEREOTYPES ARE BORN OUT OF A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM A CERTAIN ETHNICAL GROUP DOING WRONG THINGS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. CHANGE FROM WITHIN AND RACISM WILL END. OBAMA WAS 2 TERM PRESIDENT OF THE USA, DON’T TELL ME RACISM WILL STOP ANYONE FROM ACHIEVING THEIR GOALS TODAY. RACISM IS NO MORE POWERFUL THAN ROASTING AND IN THE AGE OF ROASTING, COMPLAINING ABOUT SOMEONE SAYING MEAN THINGS TO YOU MAKES YOU THE WEAK LINK - CUSS BACK AND MOVE ON

I live inn manority erea every day i deal with what people dont like to talk abought im 61 im white i get called names daily i see racism and violence all the time it makes me sad to see these people that are demanding respect do the same thing they complain abought abought\nI fotunate enoough to have good freands of all races that found the same truth i did \nRespect is earned

It's sad that we needed this kind of testing to make people admit that there is racism in Canada. If you ask every person of colour in Canada, they will tell you the truth. Just believe them. Why doubt? There's a problem right there.

There are is a lot of racism people in Canada plus they are very hypocrites they give you and smile in front of you, but they could stab you in the back if they have the chance, that's the way they are

I’m convinced people don’t know what systemic racism is. Systemic racism means there are policies in place in our system to prevent blacks or browns from achieving their goals are getting to the upper echelon of work

He’s bringing American attitudes to Canada. As we have seen Racism is an equal threat to people’s lives. What a loser. I guess he wasn’t worried about her being COVID positive when he hit on her.

Every July 1st holiday I mourn for the native peoples whose lands, way of life and freedoms were changed forever. It is difficult to celebrate colonization, genocide and racism. I am Caucasian by the way. ?

Canada is one of the worst places to immigrate to. I’m Canadian. I know what it’s like to live here. Plus I’m indigenous. So I’ve face racism and prejudice. Many think my people gets free handouts. From my experience that’s far from the truth. I’ve left my community for a better education. I was completely alone without parents and my siblings, living with an aunt that used me for another pay check. I couldn’t go to college because I couldn’t afford it, even tho I got accepted into three colleges. Now I’m working a part-time job that forces me to stand on my feet all day. Not many job opportunities are out here unless you’ve gone to college or obtain training. plus the rate for rent is horrendous.

WHat an ignorant... he's calling her Chinese... but she's not. I'm also not condoning racism against any race. This guy is an ignorant.... he represents a lot of white people who view minorities as a threat

I don’t think anybody of non colour or visible minority would ever understand how racism is prevalent. Which I do understand. In my opinion Canada is a much more accepting than many other western countries and systemic racism is less prevalent. As a Muslim man I feel pretty lucky but my mom has many stories of suspected race based descions by people in power whether be an officer, judge or store clerk. I am sure not all of them were, however definitely some were.

Police protects white people only in Canada!. Silent racism from police.

Ur all accusing Asian people when COVID-19 was made in Canada and it was a man made bioweapon that accidentally broke in a Wuhan Lab behind the wet markets in Wuhan China you can't blame Asian people or animals from the virus when it's clearly an airboat Bio weapon man made materials first read the the facts behind all this COVID-19 then look at ur own people who made it in ur country and took it to China and stop with the hate and racism. Regards \n from a non Asian person but loves Asian people God bless everyone and stay safe

and yet People Say Canada doesn't have racism

Canada is full of racism and that’s a fact. There is not much of the difference with the States either. Only difference is that Canada’s racism comes in the form institutional and systemic racism. The states have a way bigger platform than Canada so their situations regarding racism will be covered more than Canada’s and also Canada hides behind the “it’s such a diverse country” statement to diverge from the issue of racism. Ask yourself this- Which country do you see a wider diverse representation of, concerning the people in power? In Toronto we just had our first black police chief(which was a big thing here) a few years back while in the States they’ve been having people of colour and many minorities in power. Representation of different ethnic backgrounds is an issue here but nevertheless the states still have a long way to go with racism. I love Canada so much but there is absolutely racism that this country will not bother to even acknowledge

Racism is running rampant and its fueled by the BLM and fear that the Govt. is mongering to its people! Turdeau needs to go! One Trillion $$$ in debt and rising!

racism is everywhere to varying degrees. what's so hard to fathom about that. of course white people are going to think there's less racism. brown guy here in Northern California ...every example of racism demonstrated in this vid I have experienced on multiple occasions. its a regular occurrence.

I am Latino living in Toronto and i have experienced racism from some Asian and black folks (i am quarter black) but I still strive to make positive experiences with people everyday. Just here to say, racism is not just white supremacists, if you are going to fight racism, please fight all of it, not just one sect.

I mean racism is probably a big problem in canada..\n'But as a whole I think on the defund the police I think this is a one sided piece that didnt portray any defense of the police only criticism, in good journalism you need to let someone defend themselves and bring their perspective, this type of journalism is what you get if you have a ideologically possessed 23 year old fresh out of left wing college.. Perhaps learn real journalism try to portray facts not oppinions formost.. Journalism on a news outlet like this isn't supposed to be activicism but objectively portraying facts, and also doing interviews with people with different perspective.. Like perhaps interview Jordan Peterson and let him say stuff about group-politics actually agitating people and causing more conflict and more harm than healing..

All the dislikes on this video is proving the video's point. All the dislikes are from people who deny systemic racism is real.

It seems that people conflate individual acts and experiences of racism with systemic racism. If the police stop and question me because I match a description - that's not racism, that's just inconvenient. Now if the officer said - hey according to city by-law blah blah blah, you're under arrest for having blue eyes *that* is systemic. There is a written on the books law treats me different from others. Systemic racism and flawed personal bias are not the same thing. The former does not exist in its literal form and (i'm very sorry kids) the latter will never go away completely.
