This is BS! Send nice dressed black guy to look for apartment and white guy just plain looking I bet black guy will be offered apartment first! I dated black girl and black guys always gave me weird look but when they date white girls it is ok! There's racism on all sides!! I respects all races and good people!!

Muslim don't mix with people of the country they are immigrant in, they want Sharia law. They try to change the demographic of that country and don't respect other beliefs and religions.\n\nP.S- Don't advertise your Islamic cult in reply as true religion. I don't want to offend and insult anyone.

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.

In surrey BC Sikh people are most respected and get first dibs on jobs etc... White People are the minority and are treated like ghosts

All educated and people who respect to. Their parents and kids , parents who sacrifices themselves for better life for kids not kicking them out of house at the age of 18 r just immigrants... we all should learn about their life style.. what we can learn about w .. people is just smoking weed clubbing drinking...

I am Living in Ottawa I am white, I lived here my whole life and now I am a minority I deal with different races all the time and I do feel that I am being pushed out of my country different ethnicities treat me with disrespect I was growing up with Canadian culture of respecting everyone around you but I fine with all these different cultures coming in I’m losing my Canadian identity and it is a lot for me to hold strong onto the values as of what the Canadian is and I’m a fourth generation Canadian I see what’s happening to our veterans I visit my grandfather every other week and I see all the different nationalities that are PSW‘s and nurses And I really mean no offence but we have a different level of respect we have a different way of talking and these different nationalities coming in they all click together and some of them they treat the men who built this country with such disrespect please listen to meand I’m really not Trying racially profile this is been happening for the last 15 years and I’m not being silent about it Canada is freedom of speech Canada is being strong enough to speak up I mean this from the bottom of my heart if you’re coming into my country that my grand parents built for me and my children can you please give my children the opportunity that you were now taking from them and I see how they treat our veterans I see how difficult it is for seniors that didn’t have a placement in our homeless I see that all of our government funding is now going to people that are now immigrating into Canada and they’re being able to start up small businesses have four bedroom townhomes in their children to schools and drive them and fancy SUVs can you look around us and see somebody sold Canada

It's winter, i walk into town along a slush covered road, down a long hill - a woman struggles uphill carrying several bags of shopping - wearing a full burqa..the wind is almost blowing her backwards and she is struggling - my thoughts are 'cumbersome outfit for this climate'. i walk past the local synagogue, some Hassidic men are chatting outside most have one hand on their head, one man is picking his hat up and brushing slush off from it - my thoughts are 'im glad im wearing an elasticated beanie in this wind'\nlater on i walk past my local nightclub and there is a long line of young girls wearing very short skirts, high heels and sleeveless tops - with matching blue skin, my thoughts are twofold, first - hypothermia someone should tell them, second is -fashion, it may look cool in Naples, but this far north - in winter?...ridiculous.\npoint is, people wear clothing for various reasons, religious, cultural, social or just comfort. they dont choose to wear items because they desire to intimidate, but because it appeals to them, or their sense of self or cultural or religious identity.\nwe should respect that.\nif a piece of clothing intimidates or frightens you so much, you may have some deep psychological issues.

Those who cover their faces they have no place in this country they should respect the people of this country by doing that they have no respect of this country which give them sanctuary to make their lives kick them out not Muslims The woman's they were this ungly facade

No wonder, the non-whites stick together in tight groups with their respective languages and having strong connections for business, staying and other stuff. When there is huge discrimination, they need to resort to this behavior (apart from the natural behavior of staying together with known or familiar people). It is the same here in UK too but later locals start complaining they are not integrated well into local culture. Pathetic.

The Canadian people dont want immagrants living here. They are not welcome!!! Pei is full of immigrants. Its so sad. I feel like im living in a foreign country. Why cant the government see whats happening. The people living among them notice how awful immagrants truly are. They are rude and they are taking their religion and beliefs with them. Its scary. They have no respect. The people are tired of immigrants. We are taling a stand. If you are a immagrants. Stay away!!!!!! Not welcome and never will be. Wake up government. You want them living here then come live with them because we dont want to anymore!!! Stay away.

As a Muslim it disgusts me to see that people have to live with this kind of racism in this modern world. Huge respect to the guy for keeping his cool in such a situation.

Phuck Walmart!! More people need to kick the s*** out of their f****** guards they have no respect for anyone and think they can f****** put their hands on people. they're not f****** cops they put their hands on me they get knocked the f*** out

Having experience with Canadian travel by car and commercial truck as a Alaskan resi. I assure ALL that it is set up solely on Revenue trap! Canadians are awesome polite and respectable people, but the Government SUCKS!!! (Think British Queenie Worshiping Commie Prick Gov. NEEDS THEIR ASS KICKED) Past time to BOW-UP Ca-nooks, ya pussed out and gave up your GUNS. Are Ya Men or Mouse EHH! Illegal Immigrants Suck, Most countries wont put up with invasion pushed by commies. Except for political BS Democrat's!

Crazy how people treat others unfairly by there face and race but would want respect back

What do you want, it's our religion,our right to prey to almighty ALLAH,wherever we are.it is the word od GOD,and shoud be respected and feer by all people

Well, I didn't expect that. I thought that Canadian people respect people no matter of their religion.

we need people like that sikh brother in this world... respect brother❤❤❤

In general: All people are biased, in some form and magnitude. This is something built into our DNA, from millions of years of evolution and experience, of meeting, living and/or engaging whit other people. The human brain, central nervous- and hormonal system have changed very little in the latest 20.000 years. The only thing we can do are learn or at least not act on our biased thoughts. On top of this, we have events in our lives, what we have learned from family, friends and people in our closest environment, political views/trends, our environment in general and personality treats which affects us all. What we can do to minimize this is first admitting to our selves what biases we harbour, and not act to the biases. \nThe thing is, we are all alike, but live, learn and/or act differently. We can treat people as we want to be treated ourselves and treat ourselves with the same principle we treat others.\n\n\nBe nice, treat people with the same respect as you demand.

Ive read much about the philosophy and history of the Sikh people and faith, and have immense respect for them. Even though historically they have been opressed by some muslims kingdoms, mostly today I see that they are able to put aside old history for a bette future, and for holding on to the tennants of their faith and philosophy. I say this having some sikh friends, as a Muslim from Malaysia.

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...

If these people had some decorum of respect for others, there would be no anti muslim sentiments, its very simple, keep your ideological/superstitious beliefs within your own domain, and don't approach people ( as a muslim) and futhermore, don't have the audacity to expect people to like you as a muslim, just as I, as a christian, do not expect people to like me ( as a Christian)

Much love from Australia❤\n\nIt's saddening when people don't take the time to properly educate themselves before they open their mouths and spew forth hatred and condemnation.\n\nI pray for them to be guided towards a better path that will bring them and everyone around them more joy.\n\nYou chose the better, more honorable path and you have earned much respect.

I totally respect that white guy. He is against sharia law, which any loyal Canadian would. Sikhs don't belong in Canada. Sikhs are more racist than white people.

Personally, I have the upmost respect towards the percentage of people who practice their religion’s peacefully and with peaceful intent. However, I have absolutely no respect towards the percentage of people who practice their religion’s violently and with violent intent. Instead, I feel disappointment towards the percentage of people who practice their religion’s violently. They have put themselves into a position of being easy targets for manipulation. Through manipulation they are being misguided and eventually radicalized.\nWhich is twisting their perspective upon reality causing them to say and do things that they normally would not say or do.\nPersonally, that is why I generally never became interested in religion.

He is right hate is wrong, but the people also look into people who concerned about themselves. Maybe this guy might have forgotten about their ancestors past. \nNot every Muslim is bad, but Western world is too weak at present , they are unable and confused about refugees as they are standing between ethics and concerns of people of respective countries. \nAnywhere in democracy or any country in that matter , elected representatives are answerable to only their citizens. Not to other country people . They must listen to their people first, then others. I thought Western world is strong in administration and follows ethics. May be present situation shows how weak they are.

We respect sikhs they are good friends of Muslims this white racist man is so rude and looks like a stupid. sikhs are helping our kashmiri people

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.

This is a very low% of westerns and of Canadian people they are good people subhanAllah look at U.S. and than talk wich have more racists and islamophobic people..... Infortunetely racist and brain washed people always exist warever they are western or eastern very sad.... As salamealeykum and one more time all my live and respect to this brave sikh brother

Respect bro. Sikh people are nice I have many friends

To Mr. Singh, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for your beliefs and I cannot begin to thank you and the rest of the Sikh....I am just speechless. to the people get to know the Sikhs I swear by that Almighty whose in control of my life YOU WILL NEVER MEET ANOTHER GROUP OF PEOPLE LIKE THE SIKHS.... I admire them and as a Muslim I have the utmost respect for my Sikhs brothers and sisters. People we can learn a lot from these great people....

Respect to all people from wherever you come from,Allahumdullah sharia is better then democracy if this man only knew,this man doesn't know the difference god guide this arrogant man

I have very good experience with my sikh brothers they are very kind people... We live together eat together.... Huge respect to my sikh brother's

As a muslim , born and grown in Trinidad,, we dont have much shik here ,, maybe less than 50.. but i so respect these people humbleness. Hope all goes well for you in your quest for helping canada become a better place .. luck good.

i respect sikh people

Sikh people gives me hope that there are still good people left in this world. Respect !

Respect Mr Singh. Wish more people followed your lead and not just jumped on the bandwagon.

Instead of spending money on a car that she likely can't afford, she should trade it in for a gym membership and meal plans. Maybe fix herself up a bit, get her hair done. Some self care would do her good and make her feel less miserable about herself and that way she won't have to take it out on others. I truly don't understand how people can let themselves go so much! Have some self respect and self worth!

All the people who are speaking awful about their back home, can’t be trusted. If they have no feelings or respect for their own country which gave them shelter, food and every possible facility then how much loyal they can be to be a new country. All of them survive in Canada by doing labor class jobs (not disrespecting any work). If you are earning in dollars then you are spending in dollars too. If you are happy by earning $3000 per month then I’m afraid about your goals in life. Respect your country and people first

Wat the fuck is wrong with this guy.. money money money.. thats why you come to Canada. Asshole money is not everything.. Try to respect the country you are living. Whole young Indian mentality is like.. money money money. No manners idiot!! Respect for people who bring glory to India but not this kind of assholes!!

I live in Toronto n I respect Canadian culture as well. One should learn to mix up with other people and get respect in turn. I have problem with those who belittle their own country just to keep up appearances as Canadian. Be good Indian first then you will be good no matter where you live. Our actions here define the image of our country.

Stop acting like we don't know this stuff is going on. We been saying this shyt soooo ain't shyt go change, but the time and weather hell ..give people the respect they ask for, that's all we ask??‍♂️

Make the illegals go home and the ones that do it right will have the respect they want. Stop listening to media they are pushing the race crap. The government doesn't want us united and they use race to keep us divided. Wake up people!! The info is out there you just have to open your eyes!!

Sharia law in London are these Muslims serious? I heard that in Sharia law the maximum law is Execution. I heard that a non Muslim who brings Muslim away from Islam is punishable by death. We are not a communist country we are a democracy and we don't need a shitty little group of people who come in boats to the UK to tell us what our laws are and to change them and not respecting our culture. Deport them

White People’s Always Put Logo To The Color Of The Skin .... Is About Opportunity And Respect Also To Getting Justice The Same For Everyone.... We Are Human ... Nobody Is Better Others ..... Thanks... Gracias

Why don’t people just have common basic manners and treat everyone politely and respectfully? Didn’t their mothers teach them anything? You don’t have to like or agree with everyone but everyone deserves basic respect and courtesy. The Golden Rule is called that for a reason.

That computer test proves nothing...people relate to people who are most similar to them. Period. \n\nLets pull the data on how many black people discriminate against black people. For example, do black landlords who own and rent expensive apartments treat every applicant the same? Will they accept more whites or more blacks? Will they show preference to people with higher incomes? What about single moms? The disabled? Obviously business people are going to make decisions which they believe will produce the best outcome. \n\nOur behavior is based largely on past experience and knowledge. If I get burned 80% of the time I touch the stove, then I will learn to be cautious 100% of the time I go to touch it. But Im NOT going to be cautious when I touch the refrigerator or washing machine. \n\nI will add that it is 100% unacceptable to mistreat others based on outward appearances. Every person, no matter their race, dress, age, etc., deserves dignity and a certain amount of respect.

Why cant they be half arsed Muslims like my colleagues at work? They're great - They are the nicest people! They wear normal clothes and treat non-muslim women with respect. Religious people need to take their religion with a pinch of salt and be more light hearted with it all, because all religions are bullshit at the end of the day folks!

Shukar hai kisi ne sch to bola .Nhi to yha NRI's aese ho k aate hai jaise canada pe victory e krli ho.See now people realise what's the pain of doing labour.Here our constitution gives full right of freedom to move anywhere ,right to speech still people here like treat other state people like they are strangers came from some other country.North south walo ko north east walo ko ,eastern part states ko aur aap canada ja k meager jobs krte hai and showed like they are super duper cool.Hmare log to apne e brother sisters ka kam krte hai unke kheto me kaam krte hai aur jo yha se jaate hai wo geroin ka kaam krte hai .I know remittance play very important role in our economy as I am a economics student.But I just want to say give respect to everyone in this world to every people.Our indians are there just modern labourers and our brothers here traditional just simple as that .And after if somebody got degree there ,no matters how good you are at academics first they will prefer their own white race then our people which is totally fine because they are their own people they need their security first and I understand that.I have a friend there .He told me indian students also do illegal work like working on cash or more hours than permitted.Sometimes more of different type which I can't say .but you can't judge whole race ,caste ,religion on the basis of this.Same principle apply everywhere.But I love to see my people are exploring more and learning new things there .My intension is just respect everyone with love and dignity.

Dear , you don't have to feel sorry. I am sure your intention is very very good. Seems you are good human beings. I lives in UK for 18 years. In beginning I struggled a lot. During past 18 years I have travelled lots in various countries and seen so many settled people who are origin from respective country or are settled from ages . But you also note that thay had gone through with same as beginner going through, or might b lot . I like your post, and doesn't notice any ego or proud in that . I like that . But what I mean to say is everyone from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka or Bangladesh , before come in English country or in any country, are starting very big dreams and after step into new country they don't accept positive things and blames only those countries where thay have gone for higher education or for earning money. Still they stay there and says here is blot like india , dongle come here , or we have to do this type of job .They don't have servants there, they have to wash their clothes themselves, cook themselves and clean house themselves . That's why thay are saying bad words for that country and still they want path of permanent residence of that country. I am not against of india but if you are staying in English country for 6 months, I request you please make video for how government works for their people, how smooth you can run your business without giving bribe to government officers , how police officers are doing their job and how pure is system . And please all these compare in India and suggest life is easy there or not . I love my country and during my 18 years in UK , I came back to India with my family to settle down the rest life but because of some government officers ( on each step asking bribe for business) , and not getting support from government, decided to go back to UK .I mean to say in English country there is value for poor person or for rich person. In india government hospital are free but look how they treat the patient. Please compair each sector and make video. If you do this would be very grateful. And please mention about politicians in English country and in India. Then people who stays there and complaining same country ( not you ) ,will realise the values . Take care. Best luck.
