Not even surprised haha in Saskatchewan and Alberta, the slight racism is just normal I am really experiencing . One day, I even got this situation that I went to Costco at Medicine Hat and one kid froze his face and said “ why are you guy shopping here if you don’t speak English “ and this episode is just not even level one.\nI really wonder how white people can say Canada is their country . Seriously?? is Canada white people’s country ??

It's a form of racism to be so intent on getting all white people to hate each other and themselves.

Don't ever ask a white person if there is racism in their town, city, country, why? Because they are not targeted so how would they know? I used to trip on people watching me when I was in stores, however today @ 53 I don't care, all I ever say is if they ever grab me then I will take action, until then I'll shop till I drop! The racism that goes on in the workplace as well as rentals will probably never end because some white people just don't want(minorities)around, and since there is no law on the books that says they have to then it will never change. The late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said that the Government could never make a law to govern the hearts of men, maybe it's because King knew back then that even though the majority of us might want change, there are still a lot of people who would not change simply because they don't know anything else, so anything short of an act of GOD they probably still would never make them change, because you can't force people to obey a law that in their hearts they feel is wrong!!!

The problem with the racisim test is , that Black skin absorbed more light and therefore is harder to read as oppose to lighter skin colors. Therefore, when a lighter skin person raised around lighter skin peoplelook at darker people they tend to gaze longer trying to figure them out through their micro expressions. Darker skin people on the otherhand raised around drker skinned people are expert on micro expressionand can judge more quickly. So, really this race test has nothing to do with racism, but perceptions of facial shadows.

racism is so yesterday, and there will always be Morons.....But people like you ..cant stop promoting it!!

White AmeriKKKa: Racism don't exist Black people Just always play the race card....\nCBC Marketplace: Hold my Cup??‍♂️

Im white I grew up in a town thats mostly black .you want to know about racism its on both sides no one called me by name its that white boy or you look good for a white boy and if i was in a store and 4or5 people asked if i needed help i would think they are doing there job or just wanted to be helpful but thats not the same thing as being followed racism is mostly a male thing from my experience

This is not how you fight racism. You fight racism not by guilt tripping and causing outrage. You fight it by bringing unlikely people together to learn about each other to mitigate fear and misunderstanding. It doesn’t really help to point out these kinds of issues. It’s no surprise. We are all ignorant about something, someone’s physical features or cultures. The goal is to reduce ignorance and misunderstanding. This is just a gossip outrage piece. And these kinds of pieces are being pimped out. They are cheap.

I don’t believe there’s racism, only hateful people. Only God can bring them peace and deliverance. ??✨?

I am white and i get followed by floor walkers quite often by white, Asian and East Indians so should i call racism? the only people i hate are people that think women and children have no rights, fear mongers, people that promote separatism and people that think that they can own another human-being as slaves o and people that judge others but cant look in the mirror at the real issue before pointing the finger.

This can feel compelling however there is clear bias. Every store will have its own profile of who steals and it will vary from store to store. There are facts about crime as far as identifying what groups of people are committing what crimes. You can't just discard that information because you don't like it. Obviously blatant racism is wrong but not everything is defined by race.

What we have learned from this is that the biggest perpetrators of racism are Caucasian people

Wherever their are white people there is racism!!!

12:52 <-- WRONG, WRONG!! The brain uses Neuron that form links by familiarity!\nThis test only show what face pattern a person has neuron familiarity with..\nThis has F all to do with race.. But more to do with commonality of faces, that you are around.. to call this subvert racism is, Wrong shaming.. \n\n However, True racism will show up here too.. But to generalizes is Wrong!\n Shyte, I could write too many pages upon this topic...\n To keep is simple: The more you see faces when happy, then your neurons link said face to happiness neurons.. And if the only time you see a different type of face is on the news in a bad way, then that face will be linked naturally to the upset neurons.. \n\n This has nothing to do with cognitive thought, but a fact in how ALL HUMAN brains work!\n And is very bad when you shame people for this..\nInstead look at it as how we think, and educate people in a non shaming way...\nNever call it racism. But the path that can lead to racism when not understood..\n\n\n As all human brains will run this way!\nTo understand the human limits, we can then grow..

Open borders is the cause of the increase in racism. You allow people in to people's towns unregulated and people will be unwelcomeing. Especially when the government has given us reason to be worried about exactly who is here and that will make people judge based on physical characteristics. It's not right but maybe the government should ask why this is happening I stead of demonizing the citizens. It gives the impression that the government wants the immigrants and not the citizens which causes division.

I'll tell you two things just as scary as racism. \nPeople trying to justify it and people denying it. Talking about REAL issues doesn't cause dissention or division; ignoring or pretending issues don't exist does.

A good show even though it's rare for CBC. CBC block people from commenting often under their program. The Hijab, Burka set up is overdone, that's not racism, that an different ideology, a very bad ideology to go against anyone who don't submit to their religion.

As a Mexican American I have faced all types of racism from people of different races, including my own. I lived in Mexico for a while when I was young and would get bullied by kids who knew I was born in the U.S. Teachers also treated me different; some treated me worse than they treated the other kids, and others favored me because I was American. When I moved to Philadelphia I attended a school that was predominantly black and asian. I was the only hispanic in my class. At the time Spanish was my main language and my English was “rusty,” which led to constant bullying from classmates. They would call me “dookie face,” tell me to “go back to my country,” and even had some girls put gum on my hair. I would cry every day. I later on moved to Chicago to an area that was mostly hispanic, and that didn’t stop the bullying, either. After I finally refined my English, I no longer wanted to speak Spanish unless it was to my parents. Yes, I guess the constant bullying pushed me to feel like I had to separate myself from my hispanic heritage. When my hispanic classmates spoke to me in Spanish I only responded in English, which would make them mad and they would think that I thought I was “better than them.” Anyway, that was long ago and now as an adult I can reflect on these things so that I don’t make the same mistakes. I get along with everyone and the only thing that changes how I feel about someone is their character, not their appearance.

When I was in college they had tested people and found that if a woman was a writer they found out that there was a basis against women writers. They thought that women could not write as well as men, which didn't make any sense. What about Agatha Christie? She is considered one of the best women mystery writers of all time. I read her books when I was in my teens and twenties. There were many other women mystery writers, too many too name here. I feel sorry for the people who are on the receiving end of racism. My late husband was Creole. I hope we work past these attitudes some day.

This is what I think. Do your test with white people in Indian reservations, in Muslim communities, and black communities. Then we can compare racism. I am sick of white people being branded racial without any comparison in reverse. My most racial experience was on an Indian reservation where both white and Indian were suppose to be christians at a prayer meeting. As you can guess I am mostly white. Plus, Do not blame companies who are targeted by a specific group of people. As a manager of a jewelry store years back, i had a great distaste of young men or boys, under 20. Why because I was targeted for gold chains, by them. Especially when they wore hoodies. Do not target whites only for racialism.

This isn't racism it's more paranoia. How a race or an individual represents themselves will yield different responses. i.e. no one associate Black people with crime if you didn't have a 10 billion dollar a year Hip Hop industry selling that image to people. etc.

How could we possibly be talking about racism in 2019, it’s deplorable come on people don’t we all have DNA???\nYellow, black, white aren’t those just colours??? Let’s celebrate our differences together .

It's white people equal racism

Racism is reciprocal, just the way it is. It's not colour that pisses people off, it's mannerisms and culture. Many don't mix. just the way it is. Try this experiment in reverse, but no CBC wouldn't do that. CBC had a conclusion in mind, then twisted their narrative to that.

I endured racism and I am white with an accent so please stop saying that only colored People get treated I was called all kinds of names I was physically attracted and nobody come to the rescue yet I don’t go around screaming racism all over evil is everywhere .

I grew up in Brampton in the 90s. Sure, it's become a lot more crowded. But still I love it here. The people are nice and I get to experience so many cultures. I've even had free lunch many times at the Sikh temples here. For people hating Brampton and saying USA is better, have you ever been to The Bronx NY or Newark NJ? They look like third world countries and you can't go out at night. I don't see any reason for hating Brampton other than racism.

that's racism , when you are welcome in the country but you hate the people living in it !

Racism is engendered in us It has been and always will be human nature to want to socialize with and work with people who are like us. That will not change. Some of us, once accustomed to working with others of a different complexion or ethnicity, may grow accustomed to that relationship. The important issue is not eliminating racism, which is impossible, but making certain that we all have the same rights and are treated equally by the government and the courts.\nRepo

Sadly, this shows racism and Islamophobia! Most people are affected by the media which relates terrorism to Islam.. \nIslam is a peaceful religion with those who are peaceful because Allah SWT has called Himself as-Salaam (the One Free from all defects; this word also means ‘peace’), \n2- It forbids mischief on earth. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “and do good as Allah has been good to you, and seek not mischief in the land. Verily, Allah likes not the Mufsidoon (those who commit great crimes and sins, oppressors, tyrants, mischief-makers, corrupt)”\n3- It allows followers of other religions to live in the Islamic state and practice their religion without putting any pressure on them. The Prophet (bpbh) ruled Madinah when there were many Jewish tribes living there, and he established a constitution between him and them which required all citizens to defend the state and strive together for its wellbeing, and granted security to them, their property and their children, with freedom of worship, trade and travel. They mixed with the Muslims to such an extent that they used to invite the Prophet(bpbh) to meals in their homes, and he would accept their invitations. He (bpbh) also gave them the right to judge matters amongst themselves according to their own laws. \nThe Prophet(bpbh) said: “If anyone wrongs a mu‘aahid [non-Muslim living under Muslim rule], detracts from his rights, burdens him with more work than he is able to do or takes something from him without his consent, I will plead for him (the mu‘aahid) on the Day of Resurrection.” and also said : “Whoever kills a mu‘aahid will not smell the fragrance of Paradise, although its fragrance may be detected from a distance of forty years.”

Im against illegal immigration but I see a lot of racism in the comments! Poor people in the US and Canada are lazy and that's why they are poor! They don't want to do hard work although they have very little education. This guy is a product of a corrupt country in Latin America that really doesn't have the economy to support anyone and they keep on voting for the same people that make promises every year

racism has always been around...during ww2 people did this to the Polish and Germans and Russians..before that people attacked the Irish. EVERY nationality has been attacked. Sad state of humanity

does their racism test examine reverse racism, like that by minorities against white people?

I like racism. Blacks SHOULD like blacks best. Whites should like whites best. Blue birds don’t EVER hang out with red cardinals. It’s not natural! Racism will always exist. It’s natural to be attracted and prefer your own race. This is NOT wrong. Stop telling people to feel...unnatural.

Hello, I'm Afro-Latin and I just have one question, it's Canada a good place for black people who want to go there to live, will my kids be save of racism being black????? And at this point there is not really a place free of racism in the whole world, very often I heard that if your are black and Latino you are f....k twice, like you have to work double or triple to be recognized, it doesn't matter your skill level. I've been doing a research about which country will be better for my family and raise my kids, and log time I was thinking that Canada was the way to go but I'm not so sure now, but thing is that when you try to search, at least in youtube or google places where black people can generally live without any concerns, there is almost none. ?!

I'm Lithuanian and I lived in UK. I left because of racism. It's nasty when it is targeted at you but I get it. In London I was doing parking enforcement and all parking officers knew that you have to be very cautious with people of certain nationalities. I was racially profiling myself. It is nasty but that is the reality - some people are more dangerous than others. And it hurts a lot when you are trying to be a good human and being racially profiled yourself.

This was so nice just imagine if more people understood the racism that black people go thru

Asking white people of there's racism is so pointless

its rime to tell these people the truth! these so-called western countries AREN'T utopias! they have poverty, crime and corruption just like any other countries. and they have something else - RACISM! for illegals to come to these countries is UNFAIR for the legal citizens that are already abused and enslaved and ignored in these countries. these illegals are putting UNBELIEVABLY HEAVY stresses on fragile social systems and the disenfranchised! if you have the money to come here then you have the money to move to a safer part of your town, your own country or to a neighboring country that already speaks your language. THINK! DON'T COME! you're problems WON'T be solved, and you're only hurting yourselves and the people in the country you illegally come to!

people mistake Discrimination for racism.. they aren't the same thing... and newsflash. Everyone discriminates, and if you say you don't you're completely full of it.

I don't understand why some people have to be so racist. She looks stupid and ignorant very uneducated canadian woman maybe? We all just human being after all for god sake. Racism is toxic in this world it will just create animosity.

Could you imagine working with this woman? Yea, racism doesn't exist according to some white people.

I'm tired of the words illegal immigrants, all I migrants from other countries illegal or not speak or try to speak English to fit in. Mexicans don't do either. Learn english or try to fit in. That is why they are on the American people's radar. It's not racism to be proud to be a American or expect these people to conform. That is were we are losing the battle.

The Canadian government's immigration policies have created racism. When an immigration law is non democratically forced on the people of a country what do you expect? There was no vote in Canada to decide if we wanted to become minorities in our own country. This started with liberal Pierre Trudeau and has been supported by all governments since. Justin may be over the top but this immigration thing has been going on for 50 years and no government dare say anything for fear of losing votes.

why are people acting like racism is over..this stuff has been happening and unfortunately still continues to happen this is old news.

I suffered Racism from those who look at me like I'm going to do something wrong. I remember punching a guy in the face who harassed me in a supermarket. I didn't get arrested by security because the supermarkets rule was that they detain people who starts anything that includes hostile acts, etc.

Racism...even from Asians against black people, but they do not talk about it. Racism... even from black people with light skin against black people with dark skin. (Just watch how many black girls with dark skin have opportunities in US, and compare with black girls with light skin). Racism...even from black people against they own skin colour ( the pandemy of bleaching skin). Racism... even from white people against people with diferent races. This problem must be addressed from many perspectives.

I HATE racism too but why don't you ever show the racial and physical abuse of people who are WHITE!!! Is it too much to ask for some balance because I can promise you I have been discriminated against by others who are not white!

proveing there is racism in the world is pointless,of course, there is, people will always favor 1 thing over another,like chocolate milk over strawberry milk ,there will always be hate in peoples hearts u cant deny that and u cant legislate it out of them if you try to you only make it worse

why are all white people racist? Serious question. racism : prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

there is racism and prejudice everywhere. on every level no matter gender, race, religion, culture. etc. no matter where you go. but if these guys take a trip to any of those corrupted third world backwards countries they would see how good they really have it. us foolish americans canadians dont know how good we have it. we are living in the freest country nation and society ever seen in the history of the world. at least our country creates new laws every year to make our people feel safe. but other islamic countries continue following laws made in the 15th century. do you see and appreciate the difference.\n\nsure people will label you based off your skin tone and your demeanor. BUT WHY? because they have had bad history with those that look just like you. i have had REALLY REALLY bad experiences with asians in everything. so i naturally stay away from all asians and i do not trust them. HOWEVER, i feel when foreigners come to this country they ruin it for the rest of the citizens that are of similar foriegn race eventhough they were born there. WE NEED TO PUT OUR NATIONS CULTURES first. and thats what we have to teach everyone. we put our canada america pride priority and whatever culture we came from LAST. THATS WHY its best we learn to fix our people in a whole in our country before bringing in anymore foreigners who do not respect our nation. lets stop third world immigration and work on making our country great again. so we can stop all this crime in our neighborhoods. because it hinders our progress. once every race color ethnicity of people are acting right then we will have no prejudice based off color or even gender because everyone is giving everyone respect. but because CRIME IS HIGH in all foreign races, and we continue to disrespect eachother. nobody feels safe anymore. whether your light skinned white or black.
