think some of these tests should be structured better to make us more aware of our *actions towards different races in specific situations and suggestions to improve collectively. we already know most ppl have a higher pref for whites..most ppl generally have prejudice views but whats ur point?? we already know this and why but what can we do to change as a society??

This does nothing but get views people don’t care they love it makes them feel superior inside

you guys should also try going to the Philippines or any other Asian country and being white.. try and get a cab.. they will all ask you if you need a ride.. but you pay tons more than the locals would.. it works both ways and it's just normal... get over it... I rode in Planes staffed by people from China and they could tell I was from Texas.. Got treated very different.... some good and some bad depending on the flight attendant's views on The USA

Two years ago at shoppers drug Mart at Victoria Park and Danforth in Toronto about 7:30 in the evening. I was stopped leaving the store the one security guard grabbed my arm my car was in plain view in wheelchair parking my son was in the car. They insisted I go back into the store to be searched I did not comply. At that time I was 62 years old and wearing about $30,000 in jewellery.I am seven generations Canadian on the black side and three generations Canadian on the White. I have been followed countless times in liquor stores department stores etc. On three occasions I have been followed around wearing my casino manager government identification. I do believe we all do profiling however not on colour of skin, but on how someone is dressed and suspicious action's. Only with bringing attention to this matter will it improve.

in our retail store anyone whos spent 20 minutes in the store will get followed regardless of race, 20 minutes is the upper end of what most people spend in a non-clothes based retail store while legit shopping, after 30 minutes we dedicate someone to the camera to see what they are stealing, typically they are either stealing something in what they think is out of the cameras view, or scouting and they come back later.

I wouldn't give money to someone wearing a niqab also. It might be a personal choice to wear it or not, but it also leans more to extremist in my views than not. wearing a hijab isn't that bad, but a niqab is usually found in extremist mentality.

The first time i travelled across Canada on a road trip, heading west, going town to town along the TransCanada Hiway, i choose a black friend to accompany me. I choose him because he was really easy to get along with and i knew he was an auto mechanics enthusiast, which, as it turned out came in handy on the trip. We were on the road for a few months. I grew up in a city in a little multicultural bubble of liberalism and was taught as a child not to judge others based on skin colour or sex; to be respectful towards people of all ilks and ethnicities. The thing is, i was young enough to not really realize that i was in a bubble. As we travelled though parts of Saskatchewan and Alberta, where there are few to no blacks in many towns, i began to realize that Canada is quite racist in the outback and little towns mid country. I was surprised and actually angered by it. My friend took it in stride however. For example, i was meeting people, getting invited home for dinner and meet the wife and kids sort of thing, and my friend couldn't even get a conversation going with most people, they just totally ignored him and gave him a wide berth. I know underlying all of that is just the fear of an unknown quantity and the fact that a lot of Canadians watch American news sometimes which tends to be chock full of black in gang wars, shooting each other and committing violent crime so they get a false view of black culture because the news at that time rarely showed blacks unless they were committing a crime.

You should make a video on your views about future of travel after covid 19

I agree with the video.\n\nBut there’s a lot of Canadians who would go nuts after seeing this video. In their view, the less Canada looks like the USA, the better it is.

I already have watched this kind of video, but i will happily watch it again on Drews point of view.

Ive been to both the US and Canada and to be honest, from a touristic point of view they're very very similar apart from natural landscapes of course

I wish I had known Keean was going there, I would have been happy to go too (it is maybe an hour and a half drive from where I live). It would have only taken a dozen of cars of supporters to go and drive back with Keean. Then, when the police would have shown up, they would not have been able to stop everyone. Someone would have been able to follow the bus.\nI signed the petition...I hope every Canadian who viewed this video did too!

Its dangerous. I am from a muslim community, but I am not a islamic believer. We usually wear doti to outside and will fold it above knee. I am from kerala. When i was studying in hyderabad. When i went outside with doti folding above knee. Some people wearing skull cap called me and asked me to unfold the doti and cover lower part of leg and they was very angry. After that they asked me my name. When i told my name is fasal rahman, they asked me that why brother dont cover 'ourath'. They told that they thought i am a tamil hindu. I replied them that we malayalis usually wear like this. There is no difference between hindu muslim or christian. The thing is that when shariat started to rule us. It will degrade the freedom and liberty of people. And moreover muslims have many views on shariat. Its age old thing and is based on semantic laws and principles.

Here is a catch.. bullshit just for views.. in these province life is very tough and job opportunities are very low.. to hell with Canada's this program..

khaali yeda bana views ke liye

You are sugarcoating this video either to increase views or add more subscribers.\nThe thing is, it’s unfair that you are omitting the part that it’s really difficult to get an LMIA job offer for outsider.

I love the market place, you guys start the conversation. I hope some people can change there views and one day we can live in a truly free world.

While racism is real, there are certain people from some religious dicatorships in Canada spying on the free people of this country and making people uncomfortable too. there are those who want to push their beliefs on all Canadians and there has to be a balance in terms of acceptance and inclusiveness. I find many times people also play the race or discrimination card to push their beliefs and ways of life on others while I have heard them for example swear at and judge Canadians for example who don't cover up their hair or wear mini skirts......that is also discrimination and judgement and is also 100% wrong, even though they may be doing it quietly or in their own language. There is sometimes (besides obvious cases of racism of course) that there are 2 sides to the story! People that come to Canada also need to respect its values of respect for all, not just ask for it for themselves. While a lot of wonderful people come here and have the utmost respect for Canada that is NOT the case with those pushing their beliefs and particularly religious views on the rest of Canadians making them feel like outsiders I have heard many stories about.

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.

Unfortunately, natives are viewed as a being members of a group, not as individuals.

Being anti-Islam doesn’t mean they want Muslims to be attacked for believing in Islam. I’m anti-communism. That doesn’t mean I think we should imprison communists. It’s ridiculous to insist that everyone must view Islam as something good. There’s many reasons why it is not good.

From the security guards view, all POC are criminals. So my logic is, that all White people are racists. Good to know.

Im surprised Canada allowed this to get this far. Anyone covering themselves up is very suspicious. Muslims need to stop pushing their fake religion into mainstream. U don’t see Christians wearing robes to work. The Muslim fake religion is based on nothing real, my Muslim friend said. Jesus was a real person. There is no real basis to their religion. If I see someone covered up, I do not shop at that store for fear of a shootout. Any lunatic can be under scarves in banks, Churches or schools. In this chaotic world which Muslims have contributed a lot to, we do not need to be covering ourselves up, especially suppressed women from archaic views made by man, not God.

I am a Muslim but this is disgusting! You are NOT in your Country and even the Quran is clear on: show respect and follow the rules/traditions of a Country. If you do not like leave it. Do not try to impose your views this is a huge SIN.\nI apologize for this thugs!\nThere is not such a thing as: Muslim Area if you are in another Country. If you want to impose Sharia. There are Countries where you can go and be happy. The only problem is that thugs like this will be executed the next day in such Countries.

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.

Rubbish stand by the Sikh, he should have clarified about his stand on sharia. Sikhs faced the worst of tortures under muslim rulers who implemented sharia, hence all the more necessary that he should have clarified his view on Sharia.

Why should those who have not done any illegal thing worry? The laws are for protecting all citizens & no faith can come in the way of that law. \nMuslims are so bigoted that they find nothing wrong in the radical views & defend them like its a piece of cake. Why should everyone else suffer because of faith of someone?

He was just questioning a politician about his views about Sharia law !! Just say your views on that, as citizens we have right to know what does a leader stands on various issues. Next time if Trudeau come in front of me, I will ask the same question. Got sympathy Mr Singh? Congratulations !!!

This man can learn a lot from Sikhs and their history. Sikhs are very kind and open people. They will not discriminate others, but will respect your views and other religions as well.

I belive It will be the Muslims, that will take over the Political power from the Sikhs, The Sikhs will be a minority in Canadian politics, even the Indian diaspora won't vote for them, because they promote separatist movement in the punjab, most Indians view Canadian Sikhs as Traitors to their motherland India.\nThe Muslims will play the game of Takhya with them, then take over.

Im a muslim who opposes sharia as viewed by islamic fundamentalists. Also opposes shutting down of criticism of islam, freedom of expression shud never be stopped.

Very honest feedback based on your own experience, that presents a balanced view of life of an Indian Student in Canada.. Keep up the good work !!

All religions have the bad parts of their books and their faith. The difference between those religious beliefs and islam is that the other religions have distanced themselves from extremists views whilst islam has only kept hold of that violence views

BUT DEAR FRIENDS I. WANT TO KNOW THAT CANADA IS GOOD COUNTRY OR NOT WHAT IS YOUR VIEW PLEASE REPLY ME

Why can't hispanics take care of themselves , their own children and their own countries? Aren't they embarrassed that they are viewed as mass beggars and crooks ?

Moving to Vancouver was a great experience tbh, I'm of nigerian heritage but was born in Finchley, North London...\nCanadians are friendly and extremely welcoming ( Coming from the UK i found this so off-putting ) lol. Ironically its non-white Canadians i had funny experiences with.... from dating to renting its weird\n\n\nAsians under 27 always asking some crazy questions ( Are you an NBA player ) lol it's cute at first but after a while when little koreans walk up to me talking about ( You look like will smith ) it makes you think... To be fair these are not inherent negatives, But asian canadians alone did treat me weird i found, Indian girls i met all wanted to be with me but where also very ashamed to say so or let their family know, but thats a cultural thing so i understood.\n\n\n Of all the demographics White canadian and native men where the most welcoming and open to me, in my experience.. White women of-course where cool too but that does not really count, especially as a good looking black guy with an accent LOOL you know how that goes!! My Tinder and Bumble were obscene LMAO\n\nRenting from asians while black and Male!? is almost impossible!!! Except they think you have rich parents!! Its impossible in Van unless you are an Arab exchange student lol \nArab and Persian students studying english have no issues renting in Vancouver, for some reason!!\n\nI lived out the St. Regis downtown for a month, Looking for places to rent, i had seen so many places online and filled out applications but never got call backs, asides from 2 group showings i went to, i could not even set up a viewing with the apartment building i wanted... \n\nTill i met an african girl in school, and she told me something i found completely crazy.\nShe told me to make a new e-mail addy and to use my English name when i e-mail, then set up a viewing but to show up with a white friend preferably a girl and that if the owner is asian, i should look around, and offer to pay 6months upfront before they get a chance to ask what i did for work or whether i was a student or not LOL. Needless to say, i did what she said and It worked the asian lady asked me to come get the keys later that day. Its just life, as a property owner they really just wanna size you up, not fair and kind of pathetic but its not inherently evil...

I realize that some people are asses....that will never end. But the term racism is thrown around way too much. First of all, it’s tribalism and it’s a normal part of being human. Any thing that is ‘other’ or different will be viewed with suspicion and or dislike. It will never be stopped, it can’t be educated away and it can’t be made to go away by immersing people in multiculturalism. Think back to when you were a child even...seeing someone who was handicapped would make you wary of them. Now, when those normal perceptions cause you to treat someone bad or as a lesser person is when it becomes a problem. That CAN be educated away. But to attempt to make people feel bad because of there responses to the faces on the computer is ridiculous. EVERYONE, regardless of race, will have tendencies towards tribalistic thinking.

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.

More views Bhai ?

Bro i saw your channel & video 1st time and like your views but i have imp ques. pls reply, it'ld help a lot.\n1.what were your preparations before going there?\n2.what were your qualifications on which behalf you wanted to work in canada under working visa ?\n3.and what were your support/reference to stay during starting phase?\n4.and how much finance backup did you need during that phase?

Don't trust muslim religion they will exploit your secular views\nIt is a kind request from an Indian?

Muslim, Zorasters, Buddhist. Religion shouldn't matter as state and religion no longer go hand in hand. Ones religious view should remain private.

The niqabbis must think they are drop-dead gorgeous if the mere sight of their hair or face is going to lead men into temptation.\nFrom an aesthetic point of view, the woman at 1:48 would be doing us a favour by covering up.

3:22 they are on a rooftop literally blocks from my house. Exact same view.

I think if Muslims openly denounced radicals and went out in force and I mean force and this got repeated across Europe, people might feel less threatened. If it became a real movement across the globe, it would sway opinions. However that said, I doubt this will happen and it is my view that because no commitment has been shown, it will help people reach there own conclusions and they will react in their own ways.

This is an old video. \nBut let's look at it from this point of view. \nThe covering of the face is making women equal because their effects by their beauty is standard by the cover. \nYet in a free society that has a normal view the cover of the face is illegal really because it is not identifiable and it could be anyone behind that veil so we should have transparent people and the cover should be used at their ceremonies but not in public.
