I no the feeling,i get accused of having white privilege??? Because im white??Really!

White people are scared because they are becoming the minority... We Love You White People.

Ive been followed and saw two white young couple stealing while i was being followed

Just like most discussions about race, the tests depicted are shallow and lacking any deep thought on a complicated subject. Are you testing for early conditioning or real behavior issues. We are not Pavlov's dogs. With the occasional flash of rational thought we CAN recognize bias within ourselves and modify our behavior appropriately. Go back and try this again. Your bias about white folks bias is pretty biased.

I believe BestBuy was not targeting the guy, they do that as great customer service. My husband who is white, BestBuy is all over him when he goes there. So ...

White Privilege exists!

This is what you learn from white Christians and Zionist Jews! Hat Racism and war against women and children!!! Hate speech Media !!

ive met more rasist people that wernt just white and honestly im starting to dislike utube because alot of videos push this theory, its wrong...not once in a day do i bat an eye at anyone but than on my computer it seems like it just ridiculous out there, get a life people, u dont live a hard life in north america.....(saying this to people who complain only) remember, u only have avg life span of 65 years, use it wisely ...but being a prick is wrong im not siding with people like that

And why is Canadian government taking so much refugees from Africa and middle east if they know that many Canadian are racists towards blacks and Asians, racists people are just ignorance and they don’t want to accept their denial of the racists. Example I didn’t know that there’s different between humans and we are all humans but not kind of aliens from somewhere, as human being we should have just live together and treat people like we treated ourselves rather than hating others because of their skin color. Am African man and here in Africa we don’t have such things as black or white but we are all humans and we all believe that all humans are equal and it doesn’t matter whether you’re white or black..

I’m white as a sheet and American. I was followed around an Arabic leather store and treated like a potential shop lifter. I was exchanging a jacket. This happen in the Riverwalk Mall in New Orleans.

Stereotypes exist for a reason... there's some kind of truth to them. White person cant dance? ...not 100% true, maybe closer to 85%. Close enough to true to be a stereotype.

My mum is white has 2 bachelors and 1 masters but she cant find a job because of her Russian accent we live in Canada BTW so its not just people of color being discriminated against.

Been to Shoppers Drug Mart several times, and the white customers stare at me like I'm a thief, some of the women hold their purse more tightly, security guard always watches me. all this just to buy cough medicine! LOL.

Race isn't always why people are profiled.\nI'm white but not so pretty to look at and I get harassed all the time, I've been asked to empty my bag, remove my coat and even told to leave.

I can tell you that living in Brampton Ontario Canada, I feel safer around black people than I do around white people, even though I have lived in Edmonton Alberta for 9 years! But overall everybody is respectful. We humans cannot help being tribal. Look at all the different bird species...

You should do the experiment you did with the woman wearing the hijab, but do it with a white guy raising money for americans, and do it in Syria. i wonder what kind of treatment he would get?

White population is on the decline worldwide they need to make more babies, look at these guys learn something.

You may be able to control discrimination and language through legislation, but you can never hope to control how people think about these same things. I am quite convinced this racism - in whatever form it takes is very much a inherent feature of the human condition - immaterial of ancestral heritage. I'm a white guy and have experienced racism all over Africa, the Caribbean and the Middle East.

The whole BestBuy part, the last time I went to BestBuy I was asked like 5 times one of which was the same person. Im a 25 year old white chick and was with my boyfriend..

All of you white people that stand by and do nothing against racism...you are part of the problem.

I dont believe this. I'd like proof that they showed the landlord the same income and job history. I believe they made the white guy look better on paper to make a point. If business owners are turning away renters that could make them income, they are just horrible businessmen. I've never been turned away from an apartment or anything else because of my color. I have money to pay, that's all landlords have ever cared about.

is that the white guy from Joe Budden podcast and the black guy from TMZ?

These bastards do this type of reporting all the time. They know that they stole the land that they live in so they prove that they live better than everyone else just to throw it in your face. They've been here for over 200 years everyone knows about the racism and Reporting it does nothing but make white people feel better about where they live, and guess what? NOTHING CHANGES.

Why not look at the other side... Come here to Alberta, Cold Lake especially and see that aboriginals working side by side with whites make double the income.

White people are under pressure everywhere , if you’re White you can’t say nothing about your race or you don’t have a right to decide who’s going to be at your country .

But if I went to Jamaica and tried purchase items from the street shops and vendors I would get totally taken advantage of because I'm white........................

I'm white and have been followed in 100s of stores in NY State

Racism is everywhere a lily white dude I knew was the biggest thief ever. He'd walk out of stores with whole grocery carts full of stuff, Right out the door. I never would give him a ride or anything. I knew what he would do, I didn't want no parts of it. Not looking to get locked up at all. It would baffle me that he could just walk out of any store and never get watched or stopped at all. But if he was black he would have been follow from entry to exit. SMH

I am Cypriot and maybe I do not understand certain cultures. But why do people differ because of skin colour. And why we see people as black or white. We are the same in different shades of beige to brown.I do not see white or black in skin.It is not natural. We humans come in different shades. sizes, skills and talents. By the way I am a shade light to medium if anyone is interested.

I find it funny how certain minorities experience racism from white people, but they still feel closer to whites than blacks.

White privilege: Unpacking the invisible knapsack. If you're white take a google. Which I am btw.

Brownskin muslims have never been a threat to me other than white christians who taken land from the natives by force.

Indeed ~ this conversation needs to be bigger, longer, more. Any day. Any time. Thank you, Tracy for sharing this topic with us. As a white woman who married a West African and is now raising a young girl, I crave these conversations. You’re the best! Knowledge is power. We have become more comfortable talking about body shapes, gender, learning differences. Please, can we normalize melanin as a safe and thoughtful conversation topic? Keep sharing your awesomeness with us all!

Great discussion. There are allies. Let’s factor that in to the judgements and division that can occur if the take away from many is implied that all Whites are racist. Because the generalizations breed hatred for large groups no matter their colour. Talk and educate and all of us be kind.

Being black in Canada is hard. I completely dislike White supremacy and any white person who is sensitive to talk about race is racist simple, they don't want to admit about there white privilege.

If we did a white history month, what would be your reaction?

Ya Discrimination doesnt come your way....sure...try being a white guy in a minority neighborhood. Clearly these tests weren't done in minority areas

Did they test if white people get discriminated against by people who are black or asian as well in canada? Or just if white people discriminate?

whites are minority in Toronto

If a store owner can see that most of the shoplifters are black or brown. That store owner are most likely to suspect black and brown people.\n\nIf a black man/woman is being harrased by mostly white people, he/she will gradually suspect that most or all white people are racists.\n\n That trend is really common throughout the world.\n\nIt's just that simple. Try to have an open mind and don't judge people because of their skin color. Judge them because of their behavior.

That first seller wanted to save the more expensive apartment for the white guy

White folks are the real foreigners.period ?????

jesus was a white man, it starts from there

Ok nest time dont send anyone into spy on a store and tell them to take a bag or back pack into the store, You sent a black man with a back pack into a store or white or Chinese or anyone like come on!?

I'm white as Casper And I got followed around by floor Walkers like it's going out of style. In this day and age, they should just be using cameras for the shoplifters.

I get followed in stores and I’m white and at Best Buy people always ask you if you need help over and over again

Typical drunk white women nothing to see here lol

Quit watching it not even minute and you can already see him race-baiting. The lady told the white man that the price was not set but it would be roughly around 900. The other guy came and and she gave a set price of 930 and tried to insinuate that it was cuz our racism. She said it was around nine hundred for the white guy didn't put a set price. Secondly white people get followed around in stores just as much as blacks. does it matter what color you are hang out in Walmart too long and see how many people start following lol.

The UK is worse than this. Illegal imigrants get money, free housing, mobile phones, cars, tv's, white goods, cloathes, shoes, lawyers, NHS placement, holidays, education and much, much more free stuff. UK citizens are sick of paying for foreign scroungers. Our OAOP's can't get winter heating allowances or a rise in pension rates. Diabetics can't get free chiropody now. RN's work for peanuts and take 2nd jobs to pay bills.

Why do white countries feel the need in bringing over every 3rd world country's people ? You don't see this in China or Asia in general, Africa all the countries there and lets not forget India. So why do we feel like we can't have our own countries, everyone else has theirs
