I have never felt more racially profiled in any other country than in Canada. It was the most infuriating experience of my life. I never want to go back even though I know that those actions are not reflective of the whole country.. just put a bad taste in my mouth..

The dude and all his clients are scammers. The real victims are the nation and its honorable immigrants and citizens. \nI applaud how the immigration department handled this case even though I still want to see him behind bars for a few more years and the penalty fines should’ve been higher. Keep in mind, he scammed over 10mil CAD in the course of ten years operation.

It doesn't matter where you travel. If your color is the minority, you will feel the effects of it. Just try walking into a Indian store or Muslim store as a white or black person. They won't say a word to you even they speak English. Though they will be talking away friendly to there own.

Racism is just garbage, preconceived notions of others based on skin color and bodily attributes. Any racism no matter the race is bad. It'll be near impossible to rid of it though, it'll never happen.

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.

Why are racists being protected in this video though? LOL!

Oh. Yeah it's really frustrating when people stop you constantly. I've been followed around stores. I have severe social anxiety so it's like they're pushing me out the door because I hide a lot and get nervous.\n\n I'm metis and had some pretty crazy coloured hair before. So I figured they thought I was going to steal. I dont know what's in their heads though so meh i dunno.

Yet another puff piece by the bought & paid for CIA controlled media whose duty is to divide the citizenry utilizing Marxist tactics. If you are coming to America you 100% should take every effort to speak the language and conform to our culture just as it is in every other country. Yes there are a few people who don't care for the fact that this country is being divided because the immigrants refuse to assimilate and that is a problem in any society just ask people in Germany, UK, Sweeden, etc! This isn't the point though because the families/Oligarchs and 1% in control of our politicians will do anything to demolish the Constitution and fleece the citizenry of every last penny utilizing Saul Alinsky tactics via the corporate media! WAKE UP!!!

It does hurt sometimes. One time me and a first nation older woman where running frantically to meet a bus, the driver could see us and he just left. We were about 30 seconds to the bus but he deliberately left in the freezing winter period, she was elderly. We both new it's because we were visible minority, not all drivers do this and in fact it was the first time it happened. Second case is getting an apartment that I've witnessed, though it hurt sometimes I don't necessarily blame them. If we want to make a change then we have to start with ourselves. Be the best human beings that we can be.

Canada is very soft, in regards to rasicm! Come to Europe, they are worse, especially against certain community, though not too explicit like in the USA. All in all, they ( not everyone) have a thought in the back of thier mind, that they are superior!!

I'm a professional shoplifting I can get almost anything from any store across Britain.. if I wanted\nThe funny thing though.. when I've decided to buy a Sony headphones MDR Z7 for 500£ and paid for\nThe trouble started on the very next day, when I decided to return and exchange to something else in the dept store, due to my wife complaining, they question me why i paid cash and not paid with my debt card, these Muslim lady might don't like me because I'm a Christian and wearing my cross.\nAnyway after awhile she told me I used the product and she would ask me to leave the w/o my product that I paid for and have my receipt as proof of purchase..\nAlso the store already says you can return anything with 90 days.. pure Bs\nI called the police to get my headphone back..

I've taken that test, I don't think it's valid. It started to mess with my eyes not long after beginning it. I had to take time to rub my eyes, etc. Worth a try for anyone though.

I think subtle racism is actually a very practical type of stereotyping and it didn't just got created out of air, there is a big chunk of that specific race (be it any race according to the stereotype) who actually prove the stereotype to be right. I am from india, living in Canada and if some house owner would prefer a white guy over me to rent their house, I would not blame him since a lot of people don't like the smell of spices that we cook all the time.\n\nAs far as stereotyping is sublet and not rude or hurting, I don't think it's actually so much of racism rather then preference.\n\nI just want to make it clear though that I do support racism, whatever is happening in US and a lot of other countries which is violent is a very horrible thing. Specially black people being racially profiled everywhere including malls and by the police themselves.

it's basic psychology , Us vs Them. In a group US will always find an outcast of Them. And Racism is a myth, only one human race. Creed-ism is a thing though...

By seeing that video I could tell the United-States of America has becomed a very disturbance and dangerous if you are foreigner born and you came to live in USA you will confront racism by some demented white people in America, anytime racism takes place the judiciary rulling has right to prosecute any individual who profiling this kind of behavior against humanity weather they are Blacks, Latinos... eventually African Americans and Latinos are being victims everyday in this country, so the judiciary system need to condemne any body very severly someone who hurt a civilians in the United-States soil even though he/she American Citizens or not because there are lot of tourists who come to visit USA. So Guys ne carefull.

I was in canada for a year....all I saw in public places were hijabis and niqabis....it dint feel so much of a western world that I went for...even though I have a PR...but got back home (india)...

You get to smell your own rotten breath wearing the face mask. It's very stuffy too. Good in cold weather though.

Discrimination happens because of everything that’s not part of the married couple with three perfect kids who play the make believe Disneyland couples dream...if you’re a single mom...if u receive an income that’s not from an office job as the secretary or whatever...if ur low income...if you’re a mom of a teenager...I’ve had my rent raised monthly while everyone else got to keep their original lower rent...I had to pay $720 for deposit on my apartment while others paid $300 for theirs that were exactly the same as mine.. I’ve been followed and asked to leave even though o hadn’t had a chance to stop and shoplift...I actually called and filed a complaint for the employees behavior on that one..the store manager tried making excuses for her behavior but I asked him...should I be made to feel like I’m not good enough to go into his establishment? Why should I have to come home and look at myself in the mirror to question my clothing or the way I style my hair and makeup...and ask myself what am I doing that makes me look so unworthy..? He zipped it quickly and said he would take care of it.

Do biracials qualify to say they are blacks? Just thinking. ?\nGreat Black History though.

Allah says in the Quran that islam vll supercede every other religion even though polytheists may dislike it. Allah-u-Akbar

Islam isnt a race though

Wow. Islamphobes attack Sikhs even though they aren’t Muslims. They are idiots with only one brain cell

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.

That's not true. It's just that discrimination is silent when it comes to white people. There certainly is discrimination when it comes to all races ...only one race isn't a problem though.

man, this „if you find them in their homes or in the mosques“ is so messed up!\nthis sounds familiar though.... where did I read this..... ?\n\nQuran 2:190 – 195\n\n???\n.......\ndefinitely not in the quran, islam is too peaceful to say something like that!

KNow whats a great idea apply to become a citizen before you go there and tell the media to stop there games if i an american tried to sneak into mexico \nthey would though my ass in jail and tell me to get the f@#@ out.........

My parents live in Ontario and they’re Muslim. My Mom doesn’t wear either head scarf or a face covering, however she does wear it while praying at home or at the mosque.\n\nWhy I left Islam is a very long story. It didn’t seem right how after 9/11 Muslims around the world were celebrating, including my uncles and cousins back home. I came to Christ in 2010 and I’m so blessed to be saved by grace. I’m so glad I have a choice to love God and not forced any more. I’m really worried for this lady Farzana, I’m sure she gets death threats by other Muslims. I experienced it myself when I told a Muslim man I no longer practiced Islam, and that I’m a believer in Christ. He was furious! I told my parents how I got away and even though they are devout Muslims, they realize how I am in danger and my Mom told me I shouldn’t tell other Muslims about my faith. I told her I wasn’t gonna deny Jesus. She worries about me but I told her, I know my destiny for a fact. I had a personal encounter with Jesus and there’s no way I can deny Him. My only prayer is my family will know Christ and one day we will be in heaven together. I’m looking forward to that day. I honestly don’t want to be here in this awful, world where there is so much hate. I want to be with my Savior soon. I don’t even care if I’m killed by a Jihadi. If that’s how God will show my parents how corrupt Islam is then so be it. I just want them to know Christ.

You know that one of the guru(one of 10 holy person) of Sikh was killed because he defended hindus when a Islamic invader who invaded India doing forced conversion of Hindus but yet they don't hate muslims even though they killed one of their prophets that's sikhism and every dharmic(indian religion like Hinduism, buddhism, jainism) in a nut shell.

Very sad to see such disease crawling up from the US to Canada ??. I doubt that guy even understands or read about sharia? He is so flat, even in general knowledge, that can’t tell a Sikh from a Muslim even though both have been there in Canada before he was born! He only heard about Sharia and he took everything into his own hand to rid Canada of the evil sharia forces! And why the hell Is sharia even discussed when Canada has its own civil (secular) laws! Come on the guy is a human being and he wants to rid the entire world of the evils of sharia, in Canada and outside!

Cut off their passwaters. Chinese have small passwatedrs. They do big swindles though. They do not contribute to the country's development. They bleed their hosts for their own advancement.

Here's the elephant in the room..the moral of the story is...when it comes to people having to put up real money to protect their business from theft, white people can be trusted... no one else can be... otherwise businesses wouldn't worry about it or spend money trying to combat it. Though I was surprised by the reaction against the Asian or did I get that wrong and he's actually something else?..

The anti Canadian sentiment is of no concern to anyone who matters though. It has become so violent because the Quaran (chapter 9 line 5) calls for the killing of non muslims not unlike the language of the talmud. My opinion is that all muslim women should be forced to wear the head scarf AND the men should also have to dress up like genies and carry giant salami swords so that we can experience the wonders of the future today.

I went to canada with my family when i was 6 years old i thought it was so beautiful the native americans treated us with kindness my dad bought me some moccisens there. A chinese immagrant restaurant owner was nice to us the white people many of them wrent very nice this was in 1969 in the summer but i loved the wilderness and wanted to go back and see the indians. I was a dreamer. Unfortenately and through my own fault after i got out of the military honerably discharged . I got a dui again it was my stupidity but i payed my fine did my jail time and got educated about not drinking and driving. It is not a felony i the US but it is in Canada so canada gets ahold of my driving records maybe they hacked in. And said i could not go into canada. I noticed they let george w. Busch in though oh well i dont think canada even pretends fainess under the law . Any way they are now letting elligals into canada and giving them a hotel room . The duplicity is absurd personally i no longer want to go to canada for anything i think the wall should be put on the northern border. When it came to our driving records there is no border does my information belong to a foriegn country? As US citizens do you think your information belongs to a other country?

Police do boost the numbers though. They said my step dad had 1000's in cannabis once. He barly had 6ozs hash even. Just a little over personal in our opinion. A king pin in theirs the blighters.

As an American, can I walk across the border and request asylum??? Will Trudeau take care of me even though I'm a Christian?

as a Canadian I look forward to the day that Jordan Peterson runs for PM of Canada. The radical egalitarian snowflakes in my country would probably cry too much to make it happen though.

Those Canadian accents though ???

To the red haired lady and her man qujanarusaaq!! ( kalaallisut Greenlandic for thank you very much!! * I may have spelled it wrong though)

So you dress up a woman as a practicing Muslim even though she’s not? Cultural appropriation much?

8:20 they literally do this to everyone though. They’re just looking for a raise

It is NOT just race. Depending on the bag or backpack you carry, you get followed, which I hate. And I'm not black. My mother also gets followed everywhere in every Macy's store. It drives me crazy. It's really annoying, because I think it's because my mom has big purses and I usually have my art backpack. \n\nWhen I'm in a different town, I get followed in Walmart all the time. If I forget my shopping bags, I will empty my backpack so I can use that to put all my items in at the end of the purchase.\n\n In Best Buy, I'm lucky to get anyone to help me at all!!! I have to hunt someone down, and most of the time, they don't know anything anyway. Target: I have a hard time finding anyone to help me as well. I haven't really done a social experiment, but sometimes I just have my shopping bags and fill them as I shop and I won't carry a purse.\n\nLocally, I don't get followed because my family and me are known in that town. We know a lot of people and my face is everywhere. I never get followed. But out of town Walmart, I get followed in certain stores. It irritates me immensely, especially since I buy a lot of make up and the make up department is cramped they way they block the end of the aisles. It makes it really hard to turn your cart around when other people are in the same aisle. Then they close the make up aisle even though they have tons of cameras all over!! \n\nOverall, I don't know WHERE these backhanded compliments are coming from. I normally hear stuff about my weight. Nothing about race ever. Nor do I ever hear others talking about race. Weight seems to be the hot topic always.\n\nI also find it weird that the one guy feels like he needs to apologize!

The burka that these so call women wear. Are very un Canadian. There is nothing Canadian about it. I would not believe anything that they say about being attacked. Too many b.s.ers on this, saying they have been attacked. It's a known fact that they lie about it. I will never ever help one if she is in distress either. Sorry but if you can't show your face then you aren't worth me fighting to save. Funny though every country these people go to, they create division and stress, fear and anger. No other political religion of this era does that. Why is it that these muslims don't choose to stay in any muslim countries (50plus) in the world. But continue to go to western countries. They certainly don't like to fit in. They seem to change the rules of Western countries to fit their narratives and agendas. And where ever they do go problems follow. Never seen this before with any other human race. That's probably a big reason why our forefathers never let them into the country to begin with. My thoughts only. Peace out.

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!!!

I get followed each and every time I go shopping.. Even though I shop at the same stores weekly (small town) And spend apx 200$/week.. I've had it.. Northern BC Canada

I’m black and have absolutely never been racially profiled. In fact I was with my best friend who is white and he was brought into the back room for stealing even though he never stole anything. The lesson is that just because you get accused of something doesn’t mean it was based on your gender or race.

Bro thanks for info. I will never come there i m y happy in India though earning little but huge respect.

Don't tell me. He came to U.S illegally. You had T.P.S. for how long? No sympathy. You could've become a citizen, learned the language. You choose not to. Your choice. Sounds like a personal problem. I feel sorry for his family, though.

These employees are getting paid to do that... its sad but as a sales rep i was trained to do that, even though i bearly did.

Is this state of affairs a surprise? Something new? These issues are always talked about as though they just sneaked in from under a rock or something. Is this the touted conversation about the racial divide that's supposed to fix the problem. Here's a news flash the elephant that's always been in the room indicates the reason things are the way they are is because the controllers of the culture ,of society explicitly want it the way it is. Fix that !

White people do get discrimated also. Unfortunately it might not occur as often as other race's get discrimated against, but it definitely happens. But I just think it's not really reported as often even though it should be. Regardless of the race no one deserve to be treated negatively just because of their race & skin complexion.
