just imagine how it is for a brown Latino person like me. it's way worse! but I still think Canada is so much better than other places. # iLoveCanada.

I took test,\nMine show i little to No preference between both race?I didn’t know i was that good\nAnd i am a brown middle asian.

CBC you need stick a Indian & Brown skin Arab in their. Yes their is racism in different ways / workplaces / shopping malls.

YOUR RED NOT BROWN! Remember that....

Me being an international student in Montreal some times feel the opposite way people don’t follow me they actually pretend to ignore and talk less bcuz I don’t know French and and I m a brown beard guy lollllll.....but I never mind ...........though 90 percent of Canadians are really polite people at least that I could say after 10 months in this city

How do you not have a brown person in there lol ... I can't relate ='[

In Canada it's hard to get an apartment if you're white with a good job. All landlords are arab and prefer brown people on welfare. If CBC cared I'd prove it

If a store owner can see that most of the shoplifters are black or brown. That store owner are most likely to suspect black and brown people.\n\nIf a black man/woman is being harrased by mostly white people, he/she will gradually suspect that most or all white people are racists.\n\n That trend is really common throughout the world.\n\nIt's just that simple. Try to have an open mind and don't judge people because of their skin color. Judge them because of their behavior.

Try to get help at Walmart when you’re a white person mean while they are following a brown person.

I'm %100 European (Scottish, French, British, Irish, Welsh and Scandinavian. I had my DNA tested through four different companies) but because I have naturally very dark brown hair and brown eyes I have been treated differen, watched in stores, talked down to etc. I've had someone tell me I ''must be a dirty foreigner or something with my gross black hair.''

If she was brown or a Muslim this would never happen

White illegals have to go but Brown illegals can stay

This goes to show the Canadian government's racist policies no white people only brown people

Funny im from deh vi st.croix usvi family puerto rican im from deh vi where my brothers n sister come from we are mix black n brown still we go to deh us or where ever they still look at us as thief or up to no good lucky we know our constitution white name is not true cause they from Europe first peeps in amerikka is native get it straight peeps is in deh history books we are all from deh same peeps adam n eve n yet we fail n discriminate others either by color or wealth think before u open ur mind or mouth just saying jah love everyone with a good heart n mind

“Bcs I’m brown” bruh... that’s brown???? I think you need better classes or get your color blindness checked

I’ve been accused of racially profiling someone. Because my coworker asked them if then needed assistance & then I did without realizing she already had. She thought we were the same person. I guess because we are both white with brown hair? Felt awful afterward. Not sure why people would even think to spy on people of colour whilst shopping. Usually (in my experience) the people who steal seem sketchy - they won’t make eye contact, are standoffish etc. Those are the people to keep an eye on. You’re just wasting your time otherwise. I get followed quite frequently. It’s pretty funny because I’ve never stolen anything from a store in my life

My mother's background is ambiguous based on looks. She's actually English and Irish but she has dark brown hair and dark brown eyes and naturally tanned skin. It's very unusual for someone of British ancestry, but family photo's of Mum's family show the same colouring back to her great-great-grandfather. In Britain, as a blonde, blue-eyed daughter, I've watched my whole life as people treated her differently to other relatives. She's quiet, polite and her father was a police chief inspector, she strictly obeys the law. I've overheard people refer to her as a 'paki' and all sorts of derogatory things. When we went to the US, it wasn't better. They were rude to her until she spoke and then reacted with shock. Some admitted they thought she was Mexican. \nSo, is it any easier for her in Canada? When she visits me here, she is mistaken for an aboriginal. It isn't any easier for her here. And pettiness of it all. When they hear her accent, suddenly it's like she's their best friend. \nThe sad/funny thing is, often I can't find customer service more than half the time I'm out. When I'm with my mother, there is ALWAYS someone around to ask for help.

While they are busy watching the brown skinned people the others are walking out with unpaid merchandise.

So if i, a black haired latino with brown eyes and a beard come to canada, will i make people uncomfortable?

It happens to everyone! I was not rented a place cause I was not Brown enough

When I see people indulging in racial profiling or discrimination I wonder if humans are actually that dumb ? Treat differently just because someone has a different Colour ? Why is speaking in English so imp even if the one speaking is talking dumb ! ! \nAren’t bilinguals more intelligent and attractive ? I have lived in Toronto for 3 years racial discrimination exists but is subtle ! Am brown take me for your next experiment ?

I think the fact that a brown man, with an obviously Muslim sounding name, was elected or appointed ( not well versed in Canadian political matters) is PHENOMENAL! It demonstrates that despite their racial and ethnic challenges as a nation they're changing for the better, and that's what matters! EXCELLENT VID and quite informative!!!

Black couple here...montreal is the WORST. We got treated like second class citizens there...almost hit by a whit guy. Menu thrown at us by a white woman....followed in a few stores ...never again. If ur not black or brown how can u say Canada is tolerant? Most of u may be but the few bad apples make it very bad.

Do yourself a favour. Don’t read the comments...a lot of toxicity coming from toxic people...being a Punjabi Indian living in Ottawa, I don’t mind people of any background (white, black, brown, etc.) as long as all respect the bylaws related to driving, house maintenance, garbage...what pisses me off is that people from my community (not all) are actually creating troubles...seen that...seen indians trashing on the streets to talking shit about white and black people in their language be it hindi or punjabi, rash driving, seen some good indians truly respecting the laws...maybe it’s time for the Canadian government to realise that laws should be tightened and people disobeying the laws should face harder penalties...

Why are white people soooo sick with racism? Everywhere man.. us..netherlands..france etc..\nAll the while we should fear them for all the hell they have caused.\nInsanity.\nOther white people need to speak up. Like they always want others to do when their group does something.\nYou people hate sikhs. Muslims..black people..brown mexicans..moroccans..turks etc etc..the list goes on and on.\nMaybe try and look at yourselves.\n\nYukhhh the echo of how that guy kept saying sharia...\nBrrrrr

Regardless of the white man attacking the Sikh dude for thinking he’s a Muslim or not, the point is that either way he is being racist because he looks different to him due to his brown skin, beard and turban. This is disgusting and let people live.

bruh how is a stranger supposed to tell the difference between them, they both are brown and wear turbans and keep beards? how do you tell them apart?

All brown people is a muslim..?

35:15 The brown skin girl with the name *** Opoku Mensah is a Ghanaian ????????

This clip is so biased, let's face it brown and non European types are more prone to criminal behaviour I don't blame the property manager's for over looking them.

If you're white you're alright, if you're brown hang around, if you're black stand back. Old English saying and its true.

He is brown?

He said he was brown but his skin is as pale as the white guy

WOW! / ..❤️?? BROWN FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ? ALWAYS.

racism could come from black people white people and brown people. The first time i experienced racism was from a black guy.

Well, black and brown people in America and brown Muslims in Europe are heavily overrepresented in crime, especially violent and property ones, per capita. It is just a fact. It would thus make sense to focus loss prevention and police resources to groups where there is more likely for a crime to occur.

Asian racists are going to be a lot more of a problem than white racists. Asians could not care less what you think about them and are not capable of being guilted like spineless whites. I am a lot more concerned, as a brown person, about Asian discrimination which will become increasingly more powerful as there are more and more in charge of the community.

Jealous of so called whites not ever. I love my brown color the most high bless us with.

I hate brown people. I moved from brown town (Brampton) and Mississauga to Victoria British Columbia. Victoria is predominantly white thank God!

you see how only the black people say I get along with everybody, I love everybody but every other race admitted that they do discriminate black people always got to be brown nosing like a damn how slaves it makes me sick because I'm a black woman and I hate to see us be so nice to people that hate us

The white friend says, sometimes you just have to TOLERATE some behavior....my response is how long do black & brown folks have to TOLERATE behavior just like this before it's okay to confront people & engage them for unexceptionable behavior?

Being a asian ,i am 6 feet 3 inch with fair complexion and sharp features ( aqualine nose ,dark brown eyes , black hairs) i don't look like a white, but certainly fits in the broad definition of term caucasian, i have never faced any kind of discrimination from any white guy/ girl

Ha Ha. This is kind of comedic. Black Americans feel elated after experiencing Canadian hospitality. We're used to so much contempt. I had no idea it's so bad for other brown cultures there. It's kind of Simpson's that Canada has a race problem in Vergina and finds it concerning, while America's hands in the cookie jar and the denial pushback is strong!

Trudeau only cares for immigrants and refugeed because he wants their votes. These, immigrants come to Canada, have at least 4 kids and counting. Get free welfare, free, housing before our own(which is proven as they get 1st choice before our own)..😡and, child support.My parents worked hard their whole lives and are now on pension...WORKED FOR IT...and their income is way less than what these immigrants will get having all these kids.Its very upsetting that all these refugees and immigrants are coming in and getting more assistance than our own hard working their whole lives, people!!!!!!😡 they screw up their own countries, with wars, violence etc... want to come here and slowly start to screw up ours with their beliefs and laws and demands.Not having it..FIX YOUR OWN COUNTRIES PROBLEMS, THE WAY THIS IS GOING IN THE NEXT 50 YRS YOU WONT SEE ANY THING BUT BROWN AND BLACKS FROM AFRICA, SYRIA ETC..THEY HAVE 10 KIDS TO OUR 1-2 RATIO..🙄

There are more Brown countries then white if you go to a brown country then you will know what it feels like or black owned restaurant like checkers I'm white I applied for job at Checkers they told me it's black owned and operated we don't hire white people they're not subtle they come straight out with it it depends who's doing the hiring a black person will look out for a black person a white will look out for a white a Chinese would rather look out for a Chinese you're more comfortable with someone of your own all people in all Races do that you tend to look out for somebody that looks more like you it's a proven fact

im not white, but brown born in America i do not believe in white privilege. stop pushing the beign so sensitive issue.....\nstop beign pussies!

Remember when Brampton used to be a white ppl farm land like Caledon. Now it’s filled with black and brown people!

i fucking hate brampton and i was born.There is all punjab ppl where i live some ppl call it brown city its a fucking disgrace and this beat ass girl is calling more punjabs to brampton. UK they did good back then there were bare punjabs coming to UK. and back then you know what UKs ppl did. Earlier like back then i wish canadians did the same thing DO NOT COME TO BRAMPTON!!!!!!!!!!!

I did don’t want to go back to their country because they’re already bring their country to Canada Canada Brampton is straight up literally full of brown people in the truth every other person like shit and they look at you like who the fuck are you basically acting like they own the Brampton city like what the fuck

I don’t like being stared at and asked why my kids are white and their dad is brown (West Indian). Is he really their father. Shut the fuck up you close minded racist bastards. I’m Hispanic a light skinned one, we are not all fucking tanned , we are mixed. Learn to mix with other cultures instead of sticking to your own kind. I am glad I don’t live there anymore.
