And why is Canadian government taking so much refugees from Africa and middle east if they know that many Canadian are racists towards blacks and Asians, racists people are just ignorance and they don’t want to accept their denial of the racists. Example I didn’t know that there’s different between humans and we are all humans but not kind of aliens from somewhere, as human being we should have just live together and treat people like we treated ourselves rather than hating others because of their skin color. Am African man and here in Africa we don’t have such things as black or white but we are all humans and we all believe that all humans are equal and it doesn’t matter whether you’re white or black..

Racism gives whites the grand illusion of power. In reality lack of melanin does not equal racial superiority.

Shoplifting costs us all. Do the math and you will realize that common sense tells you as a owner of a store to protect your inventory. I would watch everybody equally.

Throw them out, they do not except our laws or our values! Our Christian Bible does not make slaves of women but makes them an equal and a blessing! Freedom allows women to dress as they choose and are not forced to believe in God or any religion! The full body covering can hide a horror that we don't want to think of! If they choose to adhere to the Muslim tradition,then let them go to the country's of their faith!

“its not fair for a man to yell at a woman.” that doesnt sound like equality lady.

I’m white (European French), ow Canadian but grew up in Oakland, Calif, had a black boyfriend in High School and now have a black daughter in law so I’m comfortable and familiar with many racial issues. When Kathleen mentioned she felt uncomfortable with a white man touching her hair and saying it was beautiful, I thought that was taking her perceived racism over the top. If she had been white with the same hair only blonde it would have been equally uncomfortable. I completely agree that racism is rampant and terrible, I see it frequently but it’s important to not make Everything about racism.... that can become a problem in itself

Why no asian guy? Asians get equally as much as the other two there. Also, racism is everywhere, only gotten worse and continues to get worse, especially since 2016.

Ladies have equal rights to a man in Canada.. Absolutely equal.

I am white European and I experienced racism at hospital where I work and also I was discriminated because I was speaking English in Montreal instead of French...Say No to Racism !!! We are all equal

Racism dont make sense. Dont judge on race or skin color; judge on culture and religion and how human- and womens-rights are handled by those two institutions in the society and countries the people who seem foreign to you are from. Then find out if these people wants to bring those elements of their culture with them to their new country. Then make your judgement. And do remember to hate all religions equally ;)

my test reults i hate everyone equally....lol

Muslim Woman in the interview said the wearing of the hijab was her personal choice. shes a liar the wearing of the hijab is an obligation . Muslims are taught that non Muslims are dirty to there soul .Canada has committed suicide and in fifty years Canada will be an Islamic state unless Canada bans the burka and the hijab and Islamic courts Winston Churchill said in 1899 where ever you find Muslims in the minority they talk about equal rights when Muslims are in the majority there is no equal rights.Hungry and Poland wont take these Muslim immigrants/ refugees the only christian country in the middle east Lebanon took in Muslim Refugees now look at that place that is your future.research look up christian prince on you-tube Acts 17 apologetic soco films speakers corner.Beware Evangelist Muslims ie dawah team Liars the lot of them do your own research if you dont believe me

Oh and just because you read into things doesn't mean that was the Intent. I like how the white guy said he doesn't experience this much yet every ethnicity hates the whites so when is discrimination ok and acceptable and when is it equally not.

Psychology student here. In the interest of accurate information, I would like to point out some flaws I find with some of the studies in this documentary and question the conclusions reached. I understand that CBC Marketplace are not personality psychologists and therefore cannot be expected to produce the same quality of work as a scientist. However, I think it is worthwhile to think critically about the information in the media that we consume. I am also open to anyone who wants to engage in debating the contents of this documentary.\n\n\nThe following are some notes I took while watching the documentary outlining the individual hypotheses of the studies I think are flawed and descriptions of their respective accompanying errors. \n\n\nThere are three possible research questions, and thereby dependent variables, being answered by the apartment hunting studies.\n1. If there is no discrimination between the white man and the first-nations man, then they should get equal treatment, including quotes and availability, when apartment hunting. \na. Could the gender of the landlord be a confounding variable (perhaps men are more discriminatory than women)? \n \n2. If there is no discrimination between the white man and the first-nations man between Toronto, Montreal, Regina, and Victoria, then they should get equal treatment, including quotes and availability, when apartment hunting. \na. Could total apartments visited be a confounding variable? (4 in Toronto, 3 in Montreal, Regina, and Victoria) \nb. Could the gender of the landlord be a confounding variable (perhaps men are more discriminatory than women)? \nc. They only showed the black man apartment hunting in some of the trials. I am considering him out of the study for consistency purposes. The first-nations man is the only one who got unfair treatment in the footage of apartment hunting. \n \n3. Possible hypothesis: If male landlords/agents are more discriminatory than female landlords/agents, then the white man and the first-nations man will get different treatment at different Canadian apartments in equally diverse cities. \na. Don’t know all the information about the genders of the landlords/agents, not all the footage is shown, but the ones where they get ripped off are male. The others shown are female. The remaining interactions are not shown.\n\n\nThere are also some factors that may have influenced the racial bias survey and, in my estimation, rendered it scientifically unreliable.\n\n\n1. The bias survey and accompanying tests at the CBC attributed the differences between the studies to unconscious racism. What if it was just due to familiarity with certain racial groups over others? \na. The black participants had no bias between European-American and African Americans, supposedly indicating no racism, while the white and first-nations participants did, supposedly indicating racism. Is it possible that another interpretation of this result is that bias is a function of familiarity: that we are comfortable with the majority demographic in the geographical location we live in, as well as our own kind. Therefore, the black guys are less biased against black people due to being both black and living in a white majority demographic? \nb. The participants took the survey knowing the objectives of the researchers was to study racial discrimination. They might have influenced the answers they gave \nc. Whether the participants agreed with identity politics or not was a confounding factor that was not controlled . You can only be racially unbiased biased if you think that racial identity is a means of accurately viewing the world. People who do not believe in the existence of identity politics may answer the questions quite differently, which could be a different reason for the results.\nd. I took the study myself. The words that participants were required to match were a mix of adjectives and nouns. It is known within psychology that nouns have higher levels of imagery. This was not properly controlled and therefore is another confounding variable. \n \nAll the other studies looked fine to me. I welcome any discussion on my observations.

I don't care who you are or where you come from, we are all equal and therefore I'll hig or flip you off all the same

im a white person in the us n this is waaaay too common now and it makes me sick. in this day and age we are still treating minorities in a less than equal manner and thats disgusting

Im sorry but 2 muslim men equal 1 woman. When they wear that veil they are covering their mouth....This is a cult

LOL Am Canadian born and raised here LOL ?????? That don't make you Canadian true Canadians are Natives so there is no need to be racist towards anyone we are all human beings and we all deserve respect if you lady don't know the history that is your problem but the guy on Video is right we are all equal and we all pay taxes ??????

While I am daily trying to pass the English test to be eligible for getting Canadian PR, these people just pay money and get PR easily. Even I knew a lot of foreign students are paying money for faked marriage to become Canadian citizen, what a shame on that. I can afford that money but I never want to break the rule. Please prove that Canada government has created fair and equal immigration system for all people.

Anti women = Hinduism which burnt women (suttee) if she's widowed or threw them in milk or if she's born a 50 years ago.\nOn the other hand islam is only Religion which gives women right to vote, elect , become politics, rode camels and horses 1400 years ago (when no body rode), have equal status in house etc and last message of islam was 'best of you is the one who is best to women'.\nAnd I'm sure most muslim women don't wear headscarves in canada

It be better if the face was not covered. Its creates undo fear. It creates security issues. It creates issues with ID. We live in a time of hyper sensitivity to any reference to men and women being different. Islam doesn't bend to social trends, and this upsets people. I just wish feminist and politians would let women choose for themselves. I wish people who passionately oppose Islam would equally try to understand Islam.

I feel you Leland on that jealousy part, it would be nice to be treated equally. Not saying whites don't work, but they sure do have an easier go at things and are hassel free...but nooo noo there is no white privilege right....

I am Hindu and I would say some political thoughta are contact spreading lie against Islam infact Islam is more humanitarian religion and it teaches equality and truth of one God same as Sikh phylosophy respect to this great Sikh brother.

Men, women, anyone that threatens me will get slapped. Equal rights, right there

I think racism is horrible, but i also see indian, chinese etc stores here that don't have a single white or persons from other nationalities working in them, i think everyone should adhere to fairness in equality of employment.

Canada is for those who have are values and beliefs. If you don't have them, you are not welcome. The country we once loved is now at risk and is becoming a country that struggles with Canadian values. Christianity, equal rights, freedom of speech and our laws. They continue to change to accept the non-sense of those who have European or middle eastern views.\n\nThanks, Justin as you are the biggest problem. 2 faced and you can bend the rules, but no one else can.\n\nTime for true Canadians to stand up and keep our Canadian Values and not change them to suit foreigners.

Is this definition of equality or higher status in islam that a man can marry 4 women but a woman can’t.

6:35 SHE SAYS THIS IS NOT AN EXPRESSION OF equality. And she is RIGHT.\nnot a GOOD MUSLIM submit or DIE.\nisis IS A TERRORIST STATE.\njihadis ARE ANTI CANADIANS . \nthe niqab and hijab : REPRESENT ISLAMIFICATION\nOF CANADA. this is NOT islams home.\nLISTEN TO LAST SENTENCE.

My problem with women covering their faces is that that men are not allowed by law to cover their faces, so why would a certain group of women have this right. Women SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN A HIGHER STATUS because we should be EQUAL to men. People easily use freedom of choice as an argument to defend every single thing they do. I WISH, I WISH, I WISH they would advocate for freedom of choice in their country of origin. I wish they would fight for human rights the way they do when they come to the Western World. And saying that covering your face doesn't define you is complete bulls*** because when we ask you to take it off suddenly it becomes who you are as a person. As a Canadian Christian woman of Lebanese origin (second-generation immigrant), I love everyone... jews, muslims, hindus, ... you name it. But what I don't like is HYPOCRITES.

Politicians dividing people so they can continue to loot oil and other resources, pay 0 taxes and get hefty tax returns. Why this guy isn't angry at Amazon and Facebook owner not paying a single penny in tax? Or condemning the white supremacist attacks around the world? Or is he a white supremacist himself? \nSuch foolishness. All human beings are equal and it's only the deeds that show our true colors.

If muslims in Canada want to make a decent life here they have to live by our open culture treating women and men equally.

If we are not brothers in Faith, we're equals in humanity

Trudeau is a MURDERER! VOTE ANDREW SCHEER AND GET TRUDEAU OUT!!!!!!!! MUSLIMS FRIGHTENED THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF CANADIANS WHEN TRUDEAU BROUGHT THIS LOT IN! NOW THE TABLES ARE TURNED THEY GAVE THE NERVE TO BE WORRIED!!!!!!! THEY SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN LET IN. CANADA IS NOT THE SAME COUNTRY ANYMORE!!!!! Why not live in a Muslim country where their religion and culture is theirs!!!!!!!! In a muslim country Christian's would not be allowed to practice their religion or wear their own clothing! Bulldust the women have to cover their faces as their MEN INSIST they look unattractive to men outside the home!! It is a chauvinistic religion and men do not accept women as equals and are expected to be subservient!

HATE IS WRONG BECAUSE ALLAH CREATED ALL OF US EQUAL.

? This Canadian guy made me laugh when he said 'wht abt sharia!?' i mean wht about it? Go study about it dumbshit no country is even following sharia law the version of sharia u see in Saudi Arabia is called wahabism and has nothing to do with sharia law if countries followed sharia law the world would be a better place for example western countries for example Canada is following sharia to some extent because they implement laws based on human rights and equality etc forbids today's banking system eg interests and loans based on interests even today's money is bogus and haraam if we were to follow Sharia Law and those are some of the things that sharia teach us

They shouldn’t be allowed to cover the face in public. I can’t wear a mask in public, and it’s all about equality. I’m all for tolerance, but only people who are tolerant of the laws of the land.

These reporters should simultaneously ask from which country they come from? Chances r high the answer will be Pakistan. Then the reporter should point out the status of minority in Pakistan stating non Muslims can’t become president, PM or army chief in Pakistan, then how a non Muslim can demand equal rights in another country? Now the apologists answer will can Islam never preached inequality and Pakistan is not a islamic country and not ruled as per Islam’s teaching. Of course if the reporter has guts can state to them that Mohammed recommended FGM. Now the apologists answer will ‘That is cultural, not Islam’.

Islam mandates the woman to have just one job, that is spreading herself...... women have equal rights... really?

it’s lucky that i live in Singapore, its a multicultural country not a lot of racism . Why is the world so cruel to foreigners ??‍♀️ we are still human equally same ?

If there is one place racism doesn't exist, it's my country India. We all treat everybody with equal hate regardless of skin. It's every man for himself here. But at the same time, this country has the highest amount of rapes.

The answer is simple convert to another religion, which looks at others as equal.

Only the two black guys treated Black and whites equally.

I'm in the USA and I feel we view East Asians (Japanese Chinese Korean) as equal to or even more trustworthy than all other ethnicities. Also, the face covering is scary to anyone it reminds me of a ski mask. It has nothing to do with race, why would someone feel the need to hide their face? It's very telling. I would feel skeptical if it were a ski mask, helmet, anything that covers the face.

I HATE EVERYBODY EQUALLY

Islam is a cult, the Muslims are told to lie in their Qur'an. Read suras 5 verse 51 and 9 verse 29 to start , then tell mee if it is a religion of peace. The hijab is not in the Qur'an. The women in Islam are second class citizens, it takes 2 women to equal the statement of 1 man. If Islam ois so good then ask yourselves why are they leaving their countries to come to the west?\nGoing back to the standards of women, sura 4 verse 34 read it. Do you know the punishment for leaving Islam? It is death, that's why there are so many horror stories in other Islamic countries. \nAll I am saying folks is open your eyes. What is the saying, when in Rome do as the Romans do, this don't apply to the Muslims. The want to come and change the laws to suit them, islamaphobia is just the beginning. Do you think you could've gone to their countries and demand your rights? I think k not, look all I am saying is blend in, don't try to change us to suit your lifestyle because it did not work in your country, remember you chose to come here for a reason knowing fully well what the west is all about.lastly, you label us as islamaphobe if we don't agree with your behavior,so what we call you because of your behavior towards other religious groups especially Christians under which this country was established?

i dn have any problem with religion...but atleast women should treat equal as man...

It's white people equal racism

Show your face. Security says masked is criminal and take action to protect yourself thus covered could equal dead. Wonder what we'll find hiding in many cases.

This lady is talking about freedom of choice, do others have it in Saudi Arabia ?\nLet them do whatever they want inside their home, why can't they be like others ? \nV in India know them better, \nWhen u r a miniority; adjust,\nWhen u r equal # protest (in a short period of time they will multiply many folds, no birth control, marry 4 wives, diverse them (talaq) again marry another 4 wifes, produce more children, until they became a majority by population. \nWhen majority bring Sharia law, which is a 7th centuary desert law of survival.\nAll schools will became madsrasas, learn only Quran, no questions, no sceintific enquiry, \nWomen r doomed, etc\nIslam(surrender) X Freedom.

I am a Muslim and I am a moderate Muslim and treats all people of all faiths equal and with respect. Being a moderate Muslim, I find it ridiculous to see ladies wearing a full burkah. They should all be deported to Saudi Arabia where they have their freedom to live to practice whatever they want.
