Or Best Buy is good at asking if you need help. I’m white and I get more attention than that

White people: speaks to me \nMe: replies in English\nWhite people: SHOCKED\n*2mins silence for them those who still thinks that all Asians are Chinese and we don't know English*

my tests results are Automatic preference for African Americans over European Americans\nbut im white \nso how does that work i thought it was gonna be neutral

I get it I really do, I agree they may come across it MORE, but we ALL get treated that way regardless of color. I’m a white young female and have been followed around stores, been treated more rude than others around me that are maybe dressed nicer than me or look like they have more money, I’ve had different treatment than my peers, it completely just depends on the people we come across, and when we come across them, ect that determine all of it. But I can assure you I have went through the same things as any other color, maybe not as often but it does happen. I wish we could just all love each other, and that means both ways, you can’t judge me because of how the other majority of my color acts or gets treated, the same way you don’t want me to do the same. ?

In 2020, stay away from White neighborhoods, especially if you're Asian.

These articles don’t mention anything about reverse racism of blacks towards whites

on behalf of those of us who are white-skinned and understand the true meaning behind BLM I want to say I am so sad that any person has ever been treated in such a disgusting way just because of skin colour! It blows my mind how anyone can be so cruel to another human being. nobody would treat an albino with such ignorant bias. this really upsets me and my family! ?

Muslim: I hate white peoples.\nAlso Muslim: I love blonde girls with blue eyes ??

I thought it was normal to have black rates and white rates... you cant make white people pay full price.

I'm white but am discriminated against for looking poor. Often I don't wear new fashionable clothes but second hand or vintage things. Store workers keep an eye on me and sneer a lot until I buy something -- then they brighten up and help me to buy more.

My aunt is Lebanese and obviously her sons and daughters are too. My aunt looks white and get 0. But my cousin looks more Lebanese and he gets racism all day everyday in California. I absolutely hate it. I'm Irish, French, and German. So we all see it.

im white girl and shoppers follows me too cause i have tattoos

Do whites deserve their own country ? Or only every other race ?

I’m Latina I been call hot tamale, I have to listen to go back to your country, exotics, and the one that I like the most was from a black profesional at the hospital service she call me white I didn’t know what to think

There is no white people in the bible

Coming from the white woman with dreads and the white man in camo. Have good hearts people♡

So funny . Whites talking indian .

Canada is better in many aspects but in general wayyy better , in Usa u can make money ,make good business less taxes ok better weather in some places mayb less boring ,BUT in Canada u r treated as a human being ur children get free education, free health care ,child benefits,welfare, many otther benefits, , see usa worship money ,capitalism , guns, violence,and wars they dont give a shit about human s health or life,see Canadians are healthier than most American .in USa see how they treat Black Africans Americans they never wanted to admit that they are full Americans just like white they worked hard but they wanted to keep them under their feet by keeping them in ghettos to keep the white supremacy !! NO way to compare Canada to USA there no wayyy!!i lived in anada and i can tell even nature in Canada is waay better is amazing !!!

But did you send the white guy in a predominantly black or hispanic or asuan neighborhoods. You are biased because i get discriminatted against everytime i go there,or in the construction field. At homedepit my business magnet was stolen off my car after having issues wirh hispanics,ileiigals, parking so close every day so id park further out in parking lot. Ive been followed in stores. Every erhnicity is rascist to some degree. You go to prison and see if theres rascism

Racism, discrimination, ignorance and prejudice are parts of white peoples’ culture and their DNA but things are getting better and there is hope at the end of the tunnel for many reasons so be patient. # Use your brain not your ignorant culture.

My only question about these tests, is how large were the sample pools? And one other thing to note, is that compared to almost every other nation on earth, Canada has next to no racism (i believe we are actually the best on earth when it comes to that). I'm white and have traveled to Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and South America, and have experienced racism in every one of those continents. By a large portion of the people I interacted with. I also find that most racism that I have seen or experienced stems from 2 places. One culture and the second a lack of experience in interacting with other races.

I live inn manority erea every day i deal with what people dont like to talk abought im 61 im white i get called names daily i see racism and violence all the time it makes me sad to see these people that are demanding respect do the same thing they complain abought abought\nI fotunate enoough to have good freands of all races that found the same truth i did \nRespect is earned

White Supremacy ruined this world.

dislikes are from white people who don't like hearing the truth

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

All this proves are people can't speak there mind without someone trying to fight you its crazy why don't they do this with a black man or woman yelling a white people its so crazy how much this helps spread hate.

I'm not suggesting this explains what happened in this video at Best Buy but I will say that when I'm at my local Best Buy store and I'm white, that I get asked if I need help every 5 minutes! \nAgain, not justifying this video just adding my experience at BB.

the hate crimes unit should take their white hoods n robe off so they can charge some 1 for once..

I'm white, I've been followed in stores. I'm not stealing so I don't care. I rented a room to a woman from Iraq, she was nice but didn't speak english. She often left bits of tp where she sat, instead of womens pads I think. She moved 3 months later, she had stuffed cig butts under the plunger in her sink instead of the toilet. Immigrants had convinced her we overcharged and she moved in with them to her regret, but I wouldn't want her back. She was a needy pain. We have refugees in an apartment across the street, Many different plumbers the last few months, now all new tenants are white. I can understand why.

57%people in prisons in Canada are white, only 7% are black, stop your crying.

Half the staff I work with are East Indian and are great to work with and everyone gets along but I was wondering if they did this same experiment in Saudi Arabia, Iran or Syria what the results would be using a white North American. I don't think it would go well.

Lol White ppl think Canada is their country. They don't know they are Immigrants too ?. At least we as Immigrants which country we come from. What about u White ppl? U should find your background ??

Police protects white people only in Canada!. Silent racism from police.

Shoppers Drug Mart employees are the absolute worst in my experience for racial profiling. They opened a new store so had hardly any customers, I was shopping for painkillers where there are numerous drug types, brands, strengths (mg), styles (capsules, gel cap, tablets), amounts and prices - all in small writing which takes quite a bit of time to disseminate and decide upon especially when your eyesight is poor as mine is. After a while I looked up and noticed a security guard standing in the aisle watching me. I was shocked and confronted him, asking if he was watching me, to which he quickly denied and left. Was so disturbed I quickly left the store without buying anything and refused to return to that location. Another time I was shopping for an eyebrow pencil where the colour name was printed again in small letters so was spending time to find the one I wanted amongst all the different browns. After I had chosen and started to walk past their counter, their staff member stood with her arms folded shaking her head. This was very alarming as I had shopped in that store since it had opened! So after effectively being accused of shoplifting a $3 eyebrow pencil for no reason other than being black, at the cash line, a white guy sprints out the door carrying a $50 box of diapers! Whatever they are selling at Shoppers or anywhere else is not worth my freedom. They have no right to profile me when it is never going to be me stealing. There are many, many black people who just do not do those kinds of things. We are not all criminals. I have worked in lots of stores and the majority of people stealing are the majority of people in Canada - the white people. Stop living on stereotypes, Shoppers Drug Mart and don't pooh-pooh people's experiences when they call and complain!

No white mr. Smith ???

we are not the USA and we do not have their problems so we can not compare Canada to how the USA treats its citizens...we are all born equal and unfortunately there is some racism on all sides and not just white....

I am white. And I have been targetted several times as a potential theif. Including one time going to Superstore in pjs and my pic was posted as theif. And my husband worked there (he's black) and told them to take that picture down. My white girl friend worked for Superstore and had her bag of laundry to take to her mother's house after work. The security guard . Ripped open her bag and threw her laundry every where. I have been targetted by Walmart security. (they weren't white). I have been targetted at several stores who aren't white. So. I always ask for my Receipt. They ask if I want it. And I say yes cuz I don't need them thinking or accusing I stole it.

So to be really fair on this you have to take a white person into a black neighborhood! You are actually being racially bias by eliminating that from you test. So was that a concious decision? Because here you are just pointing out one side of the story.

systemic racism is definitely a thing in the US, but Canada really? have you even been to Toronto? there aren't even enough white people to perpetrate such a system...

I’ve lived on both sides of the border (New York and Ottawa/Gatineau). I am white. And I’ve been pulled over on both sides wile I was driving and wile a black person was driving. I’ve seen scary difference between the interactions with the police. Though the US cops are a little more harsh to the black people the Canadians ones weren’t much better. If you deny that is happening in Canada your wrong. If you deny it’s happening in the US your wrong. It happens no matter what side of that imaginary line on. Be the change you wanna see. If your white use your privilege to promote change. And for everyone, go to protest (safety there is still a pandemic going on), sign petitions, vote and get involved with government. Both sides of the border have the chance to make things right, act now!

STANDARD WHITE RACISM: ITS COMMON AND WORLDWIDE! GOOD JOB TO SA FOR COUNTERING IT!

Great reporting CBC , white Canadians don’t understand but instead unknowingly support systemic racism

That guy really does not look white.

That guy doesn't look white.

Him being white didn't guarantee him Asian pvssy and he just lost it. Must be an incel that can't get a white woman and his last resort rejected him.

Lots of white fragility in the comments here. I'm white, and I'm not triggered by discussions of race.

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

As a white person, I stand by our indigenous and black community.

It's so blatant what's going on now. This isn't about race. This is about divide. Whoever these people are who are telling what these companies/media to say are clearly trying to get us fighting each other. It really seems like they're trying to divert attention. If we're all fighting each other we're not paying attention to what's happening to the side. \n\nPlease people. Right, left, black, white, blue, yellow, atheist, or religious. We need to come together. They are using our beliefs against us. I know it's hard to see other's views when they are so radically different than your own, but we have to look at the bigger picture.

All the dislikes are from the white people who think that just because they haven’t experienced something that it doesn’t exist.
