I see lots of videos like this and yes i agree that we have racism in Canada just like in every single other country around the world. I also notice that never once in one video have i seen one of these people mentioning the racism that is tough to children not just white children but all children as everyone knows racism is a tough behavior. As every single country has racism that means its a problem for all and for some reason the world only is worried about racism in white peoples instead of attacking this issue as a whole

If all you need to do is to get accused of shoplifting to be discriminated against I'm the most discriminated white dude around lmao.

as a white canadian that live in a 800 people village i dont see those problems but its not hard to belive

Live to the same standars as the white man maybe you'll have some defence.

Racism is in every part of world, not only in western countries not only in white guys you found it eastern, African, Middle Eastern, Asian countries everywhere in every community but not in every individual and it's not going anywhere.

The past was shameful yes! But you cant live in the past. You must move forward. Are white people not also killed? I dont see racism like the US. 100% of the people I see of different colors are kind and respectful to each other. The news media is trying to divide us and I would love to see more challenge them in there attempt.

As a white man, we should just voluntarily surrender the land we stole to the natives once and for all. Time to find our own place to go. Its the only way to legitimately make this right. |\nProgressives can pander all they want with acknowledgements, self serving pretentiousness, exc. but its just as worthless as those who deny and think we've moved humanity forward. Progressives are no better. If anything they are worse trying to have their cake & eat it too. \nEither you correct a wrong or convince yourself your actually 'doing something' through words. Time to give this land back & for us whites to go back to wherever our families came from. Critical theory is the only way forward in this century.

I meet a a White Historian on Black history in London Ontario. He told me stuff that is not mentioned in popular history of events here in the past and the States connection. It was Amazing. I won’t mention. May cause some controversy. If with evidence. Would understand why it may not want to have been known in Canada’s History.

Im a white male an i worked at AutoZone , my manager who was black use to make me check on people in the store like that. 98% of the time i was told to watch black people by a black man the other 1% was druggie white people an Spanish

Anyone annoyed racism is painted as a white man issue when it's white period? White woman included! Lol. But that's just white racism. Eurasia as a whole, Asians, have entire cultured based on racism against Africans and the brown skinned natives of their homes. Oh well. Let's pretend white women are innocent. Funny.

Google YouTube with words like Asian and racism and you’ll see all these videos of white Canadians spewing anti Asian racism

I'm calling bs. I grew up in Scarborough, the schools in my area were mixed Caribbean, Canadian, European, Indian (and other South asain), Chinese (and other East Asian), middle Eastern, African, Latino, everyone went to the same school. Everyone's families were and are poor going through the same struggle. By the time I got to highschool I took the higher level courses, I went to class everyday, I wasn't a smart kid I didn't get to uni, I took a bridging program in college and got into uni. It's not hard to climb the latter in Canada if you work for it. Meanwhile at the same school a large percentage of Carribean and Somalian black students do not go to class, they skip, they dont care. In fact these same kids picked and made fun of the Asian kids that did go to school. They have zero respect imo. You can call me whatever you want I am just speaking my personal experience. School never seemed like a priority to them. I'm not Chinese or Indian but those 2 cultures always seemed like the hardest working. Those kids went to every class and got the best grades. Again Caribbean and Somalian black students in my area were more likely to be distruptive in class and get into fights. As were Greek kids and Canadian/Irish white kids. I am only pointing out the black students in relation to this video. Personal accountability is important, I don't disagree there is problems with the system but let's not act like there isn't a problem within black and even poor white culture itself. Sometimes you have to look in the mirror.

white people have the feeling of superiority. And they are perfect in all the situations.

I feel being prejudiced in subtle ways every day when i was new to this country. Now with me settled here for some time, i feel less, but police especially the white police has always made me feel they are judging me based on my race, gender. They lie a lot, They should be defunded!

So there's racism you cannot change that if people dont like you there's no way to make them like you. For one thing police have done the same to white people too.

There is discrimination here. I am from Latin American and it has been difficult to fit in this country but most importantly to find a job. I mean fit in because they look at me very weird. I don’t really feel part of the society here. As for work/job There are many companies that only want asian or only want white people. I think Canada should start asking companies to present how many black, Latino, Asian and white were hired.

QUESTION POSED TO ALL WHO SEE FOR POLING PURPOSES: DO WE HAVE THE INDIGENOUS ACT OF CANADA OR THE INDIAN ACT? OH BY THE WAY WE,TREATY MEMBERS, ARE STILL SUBJECTS TO THE CROWN. ARE CAUCASIAN CANADIANS SUBJECTS OF THE CROWN? OF COURSE NOT, WE ONLY REFER TO WHITE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY AS CANADIANS ITS IMPLIED AND UNDERSTOOD BUT HEY LETS PUT OTHER ETHNICITIES BEFORE CANADIAN SUCH NATIVE CANADIAN , AFRICAN CANADIAN JAPANESE CANADIANS

Its funny when they bring up pot and say that it benefits whites when in reality its not. Come to the rez were I live near and you will see so many pot shops but when a white person wants to open one up in the city its a big deal. And the government won't allow them to open up a shop. Its unbelievable how people are so blind to see that the true racism in Canada is not between white or black but between French and English. You get paid more if you know French, its mandatory to learn French in a city that maybe has ten french canadians, look at how much more Quebec gets represented, if Quebec does not like something then it never happens, Quebec can ban people from wearing religious icons that are not catholic yet the government allows this. You may not like it but its true its all about the big cities and Quebec here in Canada.

I am a white person...I agree with them ....it has to do with policies and practices

cbc might want to turn off the comment because \nof white supremacists \njust saying

I love all of these white people commenting like there grandparents didn't come to Canada illegally

As a fellow black man I think we've all had to deal with the you fit the description story. As a teen I almost missed my school bus one day and less than 300 ft. from my house a female white cop stops me with the you fit story. I think what saved me was the fact I had my backpack on.

Liar liar liar\nIf your not white\nYour racially pofiled

I don't even get that test. Black and good or white and evil?

LOL the look on the woman's face who preferred black over white. Mmmhm BUSTED

Who are they kidding? I am white and have been relentlessly followed many times in stores.

Yup look at the amount of dislikes. Canada is in denial! One of the biggest flag stores for LCBO are in downtown Toronto. White men stealing alcohol. lol My friend personally saw it and experienced it for herself. In addition, systemic racism is the WORSEEEEEE.

I am white.\nEducated. Friendly.\nBeard. Earrings. Long hair.\nI get followed all the time.\n\nWhen I was younger, I dresses sharper.\nShort hair. Trimmed goatee.\nNEVER FOLLOWED.\n\nStole stuff all the time

ALSO WHITE PEOPLE ARE ASKED TO LEAVE THERE BAGS AT FRONT AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE SHOPLIFTING ARREST PICS AND LOOK AT WHAT U SEE

White people hate everyone because they really hate themselves.

where do you start with people like this. She really believes that Canada belongs to her. Did you go to an all white Canadian White School. When you was a kid growing up. ? At what point did you start to notice that you was a different colour to other people. When you can answer that question honestly..... then you will probably realise your the one with the problem. \nIf we are to follow history it was the white man that started to travel and from there on it was nothing but destruction. \nI wonder what will be written on your urn when you pass away and you are no longer apart of this world..... \nIn this urn lies a true Canadian . Oh s#¥t you've gone back to the earth. \nWhat you don't seem to realise is all this crap is politics \nWhen someone says to me go back to where you come from. (I'm already there. ) and my reply is take your small mind and what you claim to be your country. And shove it where the sun doesn't shine because the world belongs to me. \nI don't think you'll understand what that means and here endeth the lesson. Drops the ? Oops

Two white looking guys tak a test. Did I miss something. White shaming much.

I have been targeted for stealing at a large department store while a white girl with a large coat was stealing the store blind but was not followed at the register I told the person that I wasn't going to buy this stuff because of the store targeting me for my race and that they should be checking the young white lady who had a lot of things in her coat and left the store. I had just gotten payed and had a pocket full of money. It happens all the time in the USA.

Of all the people in Canada who are convicted of shop lifting, what are the proportions of whites, latinos, blacks or aboriginals? Are shopkeepers justified in their suspicion? We hear a great deal about racism, but never any comparative statistics that prove or disprove it. What I am trying to say is: is there any reason why this prejudice exists in the first place?\nIn Edmonton a few years ago an aboriginal man died of a stroke while waiting for triage in a hospital emergency area. IF I remember correctly, police and hospital staff alike assumed he was drunk, not suffering a stroke. I think the chances of someone in a downtown lower east side area being drunk is much higher than having a stroke. So staff just assumed he was drunk. \nIf more people of all ethnic backgrounds behaved more like whites would that suspicion disappear? I wonder if there is a logical and reasonable explanation for why shop keepers feel they way they do.

Yeah it's happened to me to and i'm white, it's just humanity. Get over yourselves, you're not special...

i am an older white woman living in an apartment complex for people who have lost everything. i lost my entire $750k retirement. i have lived here for 10 years. the population is \n15% white women over 50 \n10% black women over 50, \n5% white men under 50 \n2% white women under 50\n3% black women under 50 \n65% black men under 50\ni have been sick so i havent been out of my apartment. but i am concerned. i dont know many people. the ones i know accept and know me as i am know to not be concerned \nbut i am afraid when i leave here, people are going to look for my prejudice based on current events\nthat test sounds like it will make you sound prejudiced. thats a loaded question\nDo you believe black as can have it as good as whites if they try harder\nhow do you answer that without sounding bad\nyes i believe that is true - definitely a bad answer\nno i dont think thats true sounds like i dont think blacks can have it as good. \ni worked for BDMi in Houston\nfor 4 yearsa not one bl;ack was hired because the original partner, retired who owned the building would not permit it.\nit was blatant\nafter 4 years i had it, i reported it to the eeoc people, they said they couldnt do anything. nothing happened except i was 'let go'c

What if the white guy was in China? Or in India?

I'm white but discriminated against at a doctors office because I wasnt dressed nice and had insurance but hadn't met my deductible. She tried to refuse me and said right in front of me, shell never pay. I threw afit and refused to leave until I got treated. I have been discriminated against alot because I dont blow my money on the nice hair, nails and clothes and all the other nice things everyone else has.But that's ok because everything I own is paid for. Alot of sacrifice but I'd rather have my little place in the woods then to fit into today's society.

White people are so weird to me...they live on land that they are not from..and always telling people to go back to there country...they even in africa... discriminating against africans...they are in Australia treating the natives bad also...I just dont understand

This happens both ways and is very real in Canada, but the racism against white community is just as bad if not worse than the other way around. Landlords won't rent to white people especially with kids. Some stores dont hire white people anymore. It's very Sad and it's in our faces but once again no one has the stones to dare say anything about it.

Targeting because of skin colour is wrong of course.\n I am not offended when asked to open my bags before I leave a store. But being white, I don't experience racism so I guess my perspective is different. I could see that being a slipery slope though, when one has to prove everything in a bag was purchased elsewhere.\n I enter stores sometimes with two bike paniers full of gear for the changing weather. \nIf there was a safe place to secure bags at the entrance, I wouldn't be offended to leave it there.But stores wouldn't want that cause that cost money. Instead we criminalize people, particularly people of colour.

born a person of color i envied white people with white skin and hated my skin color. later i grew to like my skin color and ultimately myself. it's who i am, a good person inside and out.

j get follewed all the time ..and im white

I live in Las Vegas 40s I have been followed plenty of times I own a business so no need for me to steal. I have seen white people in stores stealing but the people following me in the store ARE so IN behind they can’t even see it’s the white person stealing. Sad?

There’s a few very flawed tests here. They sent the black guy into best buy, but no one else for comparison. Best Buy now tries to compete with Amazon by focusing on customer service. Everytime I go in there I have 3 employees asking me if I need help, and im white. Also the test where someone looks at a face and has to choose good or bad, is silly. They’re forcing someone to choose between two arbitrary answers. Life is not black or white. I’m not doubting the discrimination minorities face though.

I'm white and a senior citizen, and female and like to walk up and down the aisles at Walmart just to pass the time and browse. But, if I'm in there too long they assume I'm shoplifting so they start following me all over the store and asking me a million, can I help yous. I hate it.

Being white in Hong Kong I get followed in stores and watched. It is really stressful and annoying. I can understand how they feel.

Oh boohoo trim your beard. Oh no somone suggested a black woman would look better with straight hair lol boohoo. The person has s preferencebto straight hair. Hell I don't like curly hair either on blacks or whites

Wow. So timely. For me personally “white women” has been the worse of putting their woes and misery onto me. So refreshing to hear truth and honesty!

Y ARE....PEOPLE CALL THEM SELF .......WHITE........NO MILK..........MILK
