I'm not aware of a US based media network doing an investigation like this. Fox news definitely wouldn't educate their viewers like this. Is that the difference between USA and Canada? Is Canada trying a little harder to be more self aware? I'm a US citizen (half white, half Filipino) and I am trying to be more aware of my racial biases and I've caught myself a few times. I think this is good and healthy. It's like working out a muscle to become stronger. Let's work on noticing our hidden biases.

Toronto Victoria. Is not the cowboys and Indians played in Alberta. Don't get me wrong it's a few bad seed that rot a garden. But like Rory said at the end and said it with a smile. Was I did it to fit in. Look at Alberta premiers. Making laws to stop us from protesting on our land. Or Alberta government when idle no more started. -30 outside and if you wore a facemask you arrested for hiding your face. But that law only come Into play if you ain't the white colour. Some people ain't lucky to know there culture but labled from birth. Elementary to couple years ago. I hate going home to visit family but yet still proud to say I'm from Alberta and Edmonton will always be home. Only knowing hate that's expressed and taught at a young age. You ain't right unless your white

When white Americans are being racist - they are feeding into the stereotype that was given to them.\n\nWhen white Canadians are being racist - they are doing the opposite of their stereotype\n\n? ? ?

I took the test and it says I slightly prefer whites

like how ignorant people label other people as illegal, lol there's no just thing as illegal, just immigrants. Stop labeling people and stop thinking the it's al white and black like saying you should come here legally wen the rules are against you from the beginning.

I am a dark skinned Indian living in Germany. Trust me, the most racist ones here are immigrants from Arabia, Africa and East Europe. My experiences with them are a real horror. Germans are far more nicer and classier people. Its unfair that whites alone get blamed for racism as if other ethnicities are innocent

a landlord can not rent to whoever they choose for any reason they choose. the biggest racial judgement is the one made by supposed 'minorities' that just because youre born white, you have life easier than other people. i am native american, canadian & irish, & i am fully white. by 16 i had buried both parents & was living on my own, at 9 i was picking cucumbers with migrant workers, if racial profiling is bad, how bad is the assumption that others have a easier life than you simply because theyre white?

This is when white claw is involved lite weight lol

Canadians are polite..i agree there if you are white its a wonderful place to live

He said nothing about native culture. rich white kid

Ok my mother was acused of shoptlifting the same way as that lady... She is white and she did not recieve a quick donation of 8000$... Privilege yeah...

he should have called her a white hippo

Very interesting, now how about a look into how whites are received by other racial types?

Tbh most white people I met are like that

I honestly NEVER run into that treatment except from well off white people

8:40 at best Buy...im a 46 year old white Male and have been hounded no differently at similar box stores.... In other circumstances, I do see common loyalty to people sharing same ethnic backgrounds. Life is not fair kids and there are sometime favoritism...just like a parent favoring one child over another ...again ,life is not and will never be fair.

First nations university. If your white and apply\nAre you allowed to attend for the same price

And everyone has a right to their belief's!! But i'm all for take care of your own before anyone else!! White, Black or Brown! If you're American, you come first!!!

LOL this is so dumb, asking people in a store if they need help has nothing to do with Racism! \n\nAs a white person i been asked that a million times, i guess that racism? LOL

Why are they making everything about race ? \nI am always followed when I go to stores. Just today i was doing some last minute x mas shopping and I was stopped at the door after paying for my things and was told I stole . And I'm a white female

He clearly dont remember that whites are also not natives to the americas

Talking of fallows in store it happen in UK where we moved to small village, my 2 boys were in the small corner shop and the owner always fallows them, that’s happened every time they were there but not with other white kids that was their friends. So when I heard about I went over to have a words with the guy! And never went back to that shop ever again until he sold the business to a bigger company!!

as a white guy wallmart recriminates against me all the time

This isn’t surprising. His view on Asian women is likely “They are submissive to the white man” which is somewhat true. However when she didn’t bow down to him, his true colors came out

It's not just down to race in the UK, iv Been followed round in shop, or eve better only shown low value goods in jewelry shops, whislys I had a large budget to spend, this was in the uk nd I am a white UK male I was judged on my clothing an appearance

I am white and Best Buy employees always ask if they can help me. Was worse when it was Future Shop and they made a commission ....

Drew: They remained close friends\nCanada in 1814: BURN THE WHITE HOUSE

Hate is an English word and end effect of too much English-speaking ethnic white people in Canada.Overpopulation of white people anywhere is a threat to mother Earth

If a type of dog is statistically notorious for being aggressive and violent you would avoid that type of dog right? well, humans are no different. Think a white guy isn't discriminated against? Walk him through a dark inner city neighborhood and see how he gets treated solely based on the color of his skin.

This man is FOOLISH POLITICIAN OF CANADA,he's completely biased towards his religion. I SUPPORT THAT WHITE GUY . ?

Fearless brown man against a racist white man. Sikhs are lions.

Okay I'm confused about racial profiling... because; I'm an old white lady, I don't steal, I'm not interested in anybody's things other than my own, yet I get followed all the time when I go into Walmart.

I have a white name but when people meet me they like what and I'm Brown as, I'm a Maori from New Zealand.

When Nibirru arrives i want to see all these racists what they are going to do .I refuse totally to brand the White Canadians as Racists because as a stranger myself i saw most of immigrants of canada as super racist and very rude people.Yes there are so many ignorant racists among white canadians but not all of them .Yes it is true the Asiatic immigrants are targeted becaus of ignorance and lack of education.

I am Chinese but I hate Indians and white people what else?

This is a sad reality: white-collar crime often gets slaps on the wrist, while blue-collar crime often gets lengthier penalties.

so funny that white people tell others to go back to their country, when they're not even native to the continent.

Pretty sure if I went to a muslim neighbourhood they would descriminate against me aswell. We only show immigrants in white countries, what about white people in immigrant countries? Tunnel vision much

The white mans issue is that their daughters love that bbc lol and some of their sons also lol

This guy is a pure incel. He’s not even white as well

I think we need to come close to each as one humanity. We should at least talk and explore those all different skin colors men and women. Not all of them are bad. Not all white are good even so this implies to all other colors too.\n\nThere is love hidden inside everyone and it’s a matter of shaking hand, accepting the way you are. We all are humans and have same feelings, families, kids etc nothing changes if skin color change trust me. Our problems, illness and happiness are same then why do we hate each other. Canada is an amazing country and I love it

Send the white guy in a Black neighbourhood. Nothing but love.

20:09\nLol this just happened at my local Walmart \nIt rang twice so a white couple got beeped on their way out and they stop and look around and just walk off \nAnd on my way out a single person a white dude beeped when he was leaving and he didn’t stop he just left....\nOkay now a month before a native family gets beeped and they are chased even when they stop like as soon as it beeped one of the workers just started a jog towards them and asked them all to come back in and searched all their bags while the kids were cryin..so their was this huge scene and at the end they were told they can leave...it happens sooooo much it’s like apart of Walmart staffs training or something lol

lol I am a white guy and I cannot get through best buy in fredericton without being harassed by multiple people on the floor, pretty sure they make some sort of commission through sales so obviously they are going to harass anyone who looks like they are looking to buy something

Am I the only one that thinks that other guy looks white?

I can totally relate to people who aren't white. As a transgender woman I am almost always seen as suspicious. I've been homeless because very few people will rent to me. The irony: I'm a licensed, clinical psychologist. ;-) \n\nRacism, transphobia, homophobia, Islamophobia, Xenophobia, they all exist here in Canada.

I like what bill burr said about Canada. Just because they live on the other side of the like it does not change the fact that they are still white people.

Canadians have a lot of prejudice that isn't limited to racism. Productions like CBC are disingenuous with their reporting to push a narrative. The 'test' alone (link above) uses semantics to manipulate responses, thusly results. Also, you can't peg a corporation for the perceived behaviour when following around white minimum wage workers. Attack corporations for the slave labour used to produce the goods you take for granted every day, how about that? Nope, you work for the government who is in bed with corporations. Dishonest journalism at it's finest. EDIT: You just held an experiment submitting double resumes with the same creds for min/wage positions then moved on to professional music auditions with a screen after resumes have been vetted /eyeroll

Something wrong with white people mind

This is the best journalistic approach I've seen on this matter so far. Yet it still lacks a deepening on the fact that racism and other kinds of discrimination are not exclusively practiced by white people. Had the same experiments been performed in places where other ethnic or cultural groups are the majority, the results most probably would evidence their biases in favor of their own pairs. This evidences that there is an inherent component in discriminatory behavior that goes well beyond of an evil mindset. It’s clear that in general people tend to better identify with those that look like themselves and fear those who don’t. This has been imprinted in our minds all along our species evolution. Could we change that? Yes. Should we change it? Definitely. But it’ll not work if these subtleties are not accounted for and we oversimplify the matter by just pointing fingers to a specific group as the villain.
