I realized... it is extremely difficult for us South East Asian to even get into Canada, be in for PR, Citizenship or Tourists. But it is very easy for CHINESE. Interesting or INTERE$TING. Then Us, with yellow skin get a bad rep! Well, as you can see from the comments, some attack skin rather than nationality.

This is crazy to me, I brought my mom from El Salvador as a US permanent resident in May of 2019. I filed all the paper work and here she is now. You can't just leave everything to the lawyer without you getting involved. I feel bad for her. I am 32 year now myself. In other words we need to read and learn. I became a US citizen all by myself ???

3:53 born and raised, I worked in the fine/dining as secondary job most my adult life, ITS 100% BS THAT ITS EXPECTED. I don't care how it started but if you did just your job a server you get just the hourly. This idea that tipping is standard is basically rewarding bad behavior.. something I refuse to.\n\nIv had the odd waitress get snarky and if the food was high quality, while the service was garbage. Iv gone directly to kitchen staff and given them a tip cutting the server out completely normally they only give 10% of there total tips to the kitchen and I don't know any one server that claim more that 35% of there tips come tax season.\n. ohh I should mention prior to covid lockdowns a decent sever at an average bar takes home an average of $200 a night on top of their hourly wage so with the standard of 15 per h that's 120 + 200 that is 320 in a 8 hour shit that $40.00 and rough hour after 37 since I don't know a single one paying the proper taxes. A Friday/Saturday night should bring in well over 400.\n\nNow contrary to popular belief a restaurant must let view the kitchen if requested that's why you can see the kitchen in fast food places. \nAnd vice versa don't you kids yourself.\n\nThe most iv seen a server be tipped from a single table is $6,500\nIn one night $15,000\nVery rare even in mist fine dining.\n\nIf you knew a server complaing about income prior to covid lockdowns that ment 1 of 3 things\n1. addiction\n2. They don't do there job or are completely garbage at it and not cut out for it.\n3. A serious unplanned life event.\n\nAlso the I'm a stripper for school lol 99% of the time really means I have no real life work skills nor do I intended on getting any which is usually coupled with horrid addiction.

How media could say anything as they know the real truth atlist after knowing proper and know the truth media should say in the media becouse we people all are watching media in all the country so people can take miss guide by not take the proper result and look and study to know the truth people just belive in the media and did bad thing and by that miss guide people get hurt

So he helps people maintain a residency as a backup just in case they get in trouble with the CCP in Mainland China and somehow he is the bad guy ? I guess all those smuggling in jihadis must be the good guys. Typical liberal lefty BS from lefty Canada

one of my biggest gripes with racism is that they never show the stereotypes that are formed from these types of videos. alright im black and i have multiple white friends the have been profiled wrongly because of things like this. i say call out all the bad but dont get mad at someone for making a stereotype of you when you do the same thing back

I wish the US did a show like this. Thank you guys for what you do. I love your show! I feel so bad for the customers who get taken advantage of but I also love how you expose the real issues at hand.

Races have not really surface until then DT got into the office that’s why everybody want to come out with all their races they been holding it for a long time because he gets on Twitter and see whatever he wanna say if people follow right behind him if it’s OK with DT to say on Twitter thin people go ahead and follow right behind him and say it because they think it’s OK but it’s not it is sad that DT think that he’s not doing anything wrong he got to realize that he’s in all disease setting a bad example for everybody I don’t care what race you are DT sets a bad example for everybody and me a big example for everybody and it hurts me to my heart to see that out of my 50 years and never seen so much hate people bring out in this world when Obama was the president you don’t see people out there hate hate hate hate hate hate surface in so DT got into this and that’s the truth that is the honest truth

I felt bad, the Chinese government spreading the virus to all around the world, but other Asian people get hurts, shameful for Chinese government!

Sooo. Being asked if they need help is a bad thing/racial profiling? I am white.. I get employees coming up asking if i need help.. usually i tell them what i am looking for and it helps alot... I think you should re-examine how you define racial consumer profiling

Of course theres racism here.\nOf course police act in terrible ways.\nOf course no one wants to talk about it... \n\nAnd no, its not as bad as it is in the states... but it exists.\nWe militarize our police.. mostly from fear.. but also because its “good politics” to say “we increased policing”\n\nNo, its not right.\n\nCall it out.\nNot sometimes..every time. Not if its your race being afflicted.. for any race. Every time.\n\nIt DOES take time... it will not happen overnight. Especially if we want it to not come BACK.. which it seems to.\n\nTeach your kids. To stand up for themselves.. and for others.\nEspecially for others. Education starts at home. Dont trust schools or others to do what’s right... not until YOU do it too.\n\nSmall, steady steps will get us there faster than huge, resisted ones.\nRemember that.\nWhen a small step is taken, doesnt matter by who.. support it. Make the ones who took it feel it was WORTH TAKING... then watch how eager they are to take the next one.\n\nTrain them like a dog. One step at a time, with constant “atta boy”’s and treats.. and one day, they will just do as they should.. because its right? Because they want the pat on the head?\nDoesnt matter why, so long as they keep taking steps.\n\nWhen they take a step and everyone complains “its not enough” or “you dont really care”... why would they do it again?\n\nReward those small steps.. pat em on the head.. and they WILL do it again.\nPunish those steps, by complaining about it, because it didn’t solve everything at once?\n\nConditions them not to bother trying.

Maybe if we (the western world) stopped creating so many inequalities worldwide... People wouldn't want to come here so badly. Maybe a little critical thinking and some compassion for others would go further than wasting tax payer dollars on walls and more boarder enforcement. Immigrants will only get more creative to try and get here. Build a wall, they will climb it. Hire another boarder enforcement officer... Sneak around him/ her. The real crisis is the lack of understanding of why these people left their country in the first place. Wake up.

I think some people forget that a Muslim is not a race but a religion. That religion comes with its own Bible that has horrific things in it. Christians get scorned all the time and nobody says anything. A Muslim gets the same treatment and everybody feels bad for them. It doesn’t make sense to me either. Maybe those who do not understand Muslims should pick up their Bible to get an idea of what they represent.

For the shopping experience, they have the guys go in carrying hand bags. That's going to get their attention since shoplifters could easily put things into the bags and most people don't bring computer bags, hand bags etc when they shop.\n\nI've had instances where people were awful to me for no apparent reason (I'm white), and it struck me that if i was black, I would attribute the terrible treatment to racism since I couldn't think of any other reason for the bad treatment. \n\nAnother form of racism not covered here is the racism of low expectations. If people assume that you are too dumb to understand something or too poor to afford something, that's wrong. Same holds true for treating women as if they won't understand. Usually this behavior is done, not by bad people, but by people who just haven't had a lot of interactions with different people of different races. So they haven't had the chance to have those stereotypes personally disproven.

I’m not colored obviously but I have been on disability and lower income. I’m always getting fallowed too by store clerks at Walmart, I must just have that poor look idk?!?! I don’t like to wear makeup butI don’t think that makes me look that bad. It has gotten so bad that I have confronted the clerks when they just have to randomly come to the isleI im in and stock. It’s really apparent. When I leave an Isle and they seem to need to stock the exact next else im going to somewhere else in in the store!

And he was called Niger on basketball court by his friends but see they don't have the same meaning until we have the same meaning so they can say something and make us look bad and then use it against us wake up America quit allowing their crutches to be created self-inflicting and then get a benefit out of

Best Buy is bad about that...and I'm white....it's like every 2 seconds! I know you get paid on commission but leave me alone!

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

No matter who you are or were you come from people are always saying things about black people because they are told to say bad things to black people to make them fight so they can get in trouble so noone wants to be around us Linda j peace ❤️???? pay attention to what is happening around you Linda j peace ❤️❤️❤️? stay prayed up

racism is a virus probably either worse than COVID-19 or as bad as COVID-19!!\nAnd for me unfortunately may be for a Canadian fortunately Canada get this VIrus which will be a lot more difficult to get rid of than COVID-19....\nPROBABLY WILL NOT EVEN BE POSSIBLE .....

I am seeing many drew binsky videos these days . ( lock down effects) . It is making me feel that I am getting connected to the whole world knowing about each country. It's actually great that the videos are unbiased. I felt bad when he told he escaped accident in India .but even after that , he visited our country , he could appreciate the diverse beauty of India.

That racial test in the computer seems very questionable! I’d like to hear the science behind that, like are some of them actually bad people and some good. Too many questions I probably won’t get answers to

I feel bad for Canada. But, the illegals know Trump will get them eventually. So, they need to get out quick.

I’m Mexican and I always get followed or old people be talking bad about me too??‍♂️

If you hide your face in the west we get suspicious.. it's not because of your race because you were it because of religion.. but anyway we are just not used to it and your dressed like what we portray on tv in movie etc as a robber a bad guy

Racism is bad but I think its human nature..we are programmed like that...I think if it was opposite way like asia was rich and west was poor..then situation may be way worse than it is now...\nThings are getting better...

So what this propaganda video is saying is refugees and immigrants get the same as Canadian citizens. Enough said. Its bad enough shelling out my money for Canadian citizens but I have to do it for illegals and immigrants as well. I don't remember voting on such crap. The Canadian government are a bunch of crooks. You work for us. We pay you. Be accountable to us your employers and do your jobs.

Try next time having them wear something if then ran from police would never be able to get away. You have ppl show up in a store all in black then ask them to act suspicious then yeah... Like most of these shows its biased they setup these situations to make a good video making companies look bad. This biased film shpuld feel bad for creating this video.

as for the niqab test unfortunately it resembles a bandana and people wearing bandana's already have a bad enough reputation in today's world so it doesn't really help the situation im not so sure its a racial thing but just a stereotype of someone covering their face being a bad person like try the same thing but as a caucasian with a bandana over your face you'll end up getting similar results

You could get the same result if you did it against ANTIFA... They silence and beat down people with opposing viewpoints, and that is just as bad!!

Please make a distinction between racism and profiling. \n\nEveryone gets profile, based on the group they are associated with. Yes, black get profile as shoplifters but they are also profile as good athletes. Chinese get profile as math wiz but Chinese are also profile as bad drivers. Why? Because every profile there is some element of truth. Sweeping this under the rug as “Oh it’s racism” doesn’t help solve the problem.

Blacks get bad rep from american blacks, only the ignorant ones, Not all are bad.

This is such bs. I’m so sick of news articles treating deportation like it’s some national sin. We’re supposed to feel bad that people get deported for living here illegally?! That’s what deportation is for! This chick is 30 she’s been here 18 years, if she was concerned about going through proper channels, she would have. The people who deserve to be here are the ones who have endured the process of doing it legally. The fact that someone can live here & own a business for years all while being here illegally is ridiculous. “Couldn’t they just go after criminals?” You were supposed to be deported over a decade ago! You are a criminal.

I wish the United States would face this issue. I've been attacked in a store for unfair, and unfounded suspension. I am treated differently in no less than 75% of stores I go into. The employees stare me down, follow me... I'm going to start filming these people. It's not fair to be harrassed for S.W.B. It's sad, I was born this color, yet I am less than, or just plain bad before I even speak, or act in the minds of many, especially law enforcement. It's sad. It's depressing. It makes everything in life that I do in public, down to using the bathroom, getting to know new people, applying for work, buying food, or just walking down any street, so much harder. Like the world is mad I exist, and the people want me to go away.

That man in this video in the mosque,.how did he get to canada, you recogonized him right? Verry rare to find a muz lem blame his own people. If canadians are so bad, why do they not leave?, go back home. Its cause iz lam advocates conquest of peoples, nations, wealth, wonen of infidels. Even their arab sheikh cousins dont want the refugees.deport all ofenders.

When I stand up for people I see who are discriminated against, I get called a social justice warrior as an insult. But I want to know why fighting against bullies is a bad thing. I love being an SJW. We ALL should be.

Hello, I just watched your video. Three years after you made it. I hope you are still with us and a very belated Welcome. Many people throughout the world seem to have so many stereotypes about Americans. Whether it is good or bad there typically is some truth in a stereotype. Overall it seems like you are enjoying yourself and no matter what there is no place like home. I would think no matter what your current situation is you still miss Canada as I would miss the United States if I were to move to Canada. \nA couple things you mentioned in the video were not correct and as with anything there may be a little truth in the matter but yet still incorrect.\nThose who do not have health insurance are not charged or taxed $150 monthly. There is a provision in the affordable care act (ACA) that penalizes certain individuals who make above a certain dollar amount. The amount is either $150 or $300 for the entire year. I concur any monetary penalty against anyone for not having health insurance is outrageous. I could be wrong but I believe this aspect of the ACA was never implemented under President Obama and it was indefinitely suspended or revoked by President Trump. I also feel like I need to address your thoughts about the United States all about war. I believe the American people are like most other people and want peace and civility. The government and major defense contractors have differing opinions at times. Of course there is plenty of people who are war hawks but they are in the minority. Most of us are absolutely sick of war. We currently have been at war for almost 19 years. That's six complete world war 2's in their entirety. \nI think you were being awfully generous when you said obesity is on par with the rest of the world!! Unfortunately there is far to many fat people here and the problem is only getting worse because the media says be happy and proud you are fat. Celebrating obesity is absolutely insane and it sends the wrong message to young people. If a close one is fat of course I love them but I also tell them privately that they are a walking heart attack. It's more than OK to accept someone the way they are but as a friend or family member you doing them a disservice by not mentioning their obesity. \nI'm sorry if you feel I'm being to harsh or critical. I think it is a wonderful thing to share the world's longest border with such a great nation as Canada. I have always thought Canada was like the United States fraternal brother or sister. We are very much alike with a few beautiful differences that distinguishes from one another. It doesn't appear that you upload videos hear anymore but I hope you get the opportunity to read this. Thank you for coming to the United States and I love all my canadian brothers and sisters. Take care.

It has taken a lot for Muslims to get a bad name

Sorry Sir, you get what you deserve. You are focused on breaking the law, skirting the system, not doing the right thing. You could have applied for immigration in the USA and probably would have been considered but you like many others feel above the law. Too bad so sad for you.

as you guys can see by the end of the video, that fother mucker chinese Wang did not even show any regret or repentance . He was probably thinking that he got bad luck by getting caught. That's all

Get that message out, your letting a these thugs destroy you , yes Stereotyping is sick but hey , they bad ones set this table .

That moment when you are so bad at being racist you get the wrong guy

Honestly, this is sad, because these people obviously didn't receive higher education. I don't mean it in a bad way, but seriously, getting an education prevents stuff like this from happening because you actually LEARN to think critically about others' situations and the way the world works.

What if i stood on our Borders and told you to go back because this is a western country. What right do you have to tell us on our streets where we can walk. We welcome people you into our country and this is how you treat us in our own country. We go and do as we please in this country we have our own laws. we don't need people like you to tell us what to do in it. People like you are the very reason Muslims get a bad name from the Westerners. Because you really think you are going to turn this country into an Islamic state. If you don't like our way of life. That trip you made to get here. Works both ways go back. I am more than sure you won't be missed

Hi haters! Thank you for showing the world that everyone is human but muslims are not! Thank you for showing the real terror and the real meaning of freedom that you don't apply. Guess what i am a muslim and i wear what i want and i do what i want and i go wherever i want and i beleive in what i want because this is my right and if you don't like that woow sorry to tell you that i don't care and this is only your problem not mine i am happy if you are not then you need to find something that makes you happy and please stay away from me i want to be safe physically and psychologically which are my rights too. So have a nice day and take care of your own business and thank you for wasting your time reading this and trying to reply and thinking to attack a muslim human (that's what people always do attack the muslims) I won't discuss my religion with anyone and i won't reply people have told bad things that hurted me soo bad so i don't get hurt anymore and i know what bad peoples will say so so keep your energy you will need it later for this day and rather then spreading hate and trying to be smart try to be a human first that will help you moore and have a good life people. loove you all ??

It’s sad too see all this negatives comments y’all don’t know how hard it is for immigrants Unless you are one you can never relate the presidents thinks we are all rapist killers and bad people but that’s not the case yes there might be some bad people but I guarantee most of us are good people who come here too work really hard so our family’s and children can have a better life I don’t understand why we get so much hate all we come too do here is work hard and also we do jobs that no other people will do let’s put an example I don’t see any white American or black African American working in construction yes there might be some but most don’t like working outside in the heat because it’s hot and because it’s a hard job look at el Paso shootings you tell me who did that shooting ? It’s really sad too what this country has become too and the president is very wrong too and if your with the president you’ll should be ashamed of yourself.

How many reps in your society? How many trouble in your own home ? What problems do you have with your own kids..good and bad is everywhere any tribe any religion... you can hate Islam but you can stop it ... did you know why your kids is getting crazy and rebellious against you yourself? Leave people alone they have nothing to do with you... .. hate it or not but your society is destroying every day, but you don't know why disobey Islam or our religion you will surely regret it...

Oh well poor guy didn't get all the free stuff he wanted and his entitled attitude was challenged. Too freakin bad it is not Canada's fault there are shit hole countries.

I am white and i get followed in almost every store cause i have a beard and long hair i was going to a documentary on this a few weeks full beard and long hair and few weeks short hair clean shaven just to show proof that everywhere you go beards bring heat on you even police do not respect a man with a beard hes automatically the bad guy in every situation

I thought it was bad that a year later in Canada, he still isn't speaking English whatsoever, but interviewed in his native tongue. Then I see that he was in the US for 15 freaking years, and didn't bother there either. I see he and his family has no intention of assimilating. How long before we have a little El Salvador, w/ all the crime they supposedly left. People that won't assimilate to us inevitably bring all their country's crap and woes w/ them. Also, this man who can't be bothered to speak our language is getting work in Alberta. Where native Albertans who do speak English are hard pressed for work. So how chaotic is that job site he's working on not speaking the language? Or do we already have little El Salvador there and he's right in w/ his homies?
