Really interesting video, and I really liked the black Canadian perspective. I’m a black American and we don’t really hear about black Canadians and their similar struggle (possibly worse since I’m just assuming there are fewer black people there and Canada is not “known” for its racism like the US is so people may not think it’s an issue)

Good evening\nI am working in Dubai since 2005.i have 14 years experience in defrent Fields in Dubai and also 3.5 years have experience from Saudi as Foreman heavy Earth moving equipment.

Why no asian guy? Asians get equally as much as the other two there. Also, racism is everywhere, only gotten worse and continues to get worse, especially since 2016.

My mother was German/Irish. My father was french/dutch. I tan quite well, enough time in the sun and I get Puerto Rican dark. I got my dad's curly hair. I spent 10 years on the south coast of of the US so when I moved back to Missouri I was quite dark, not really an issue on the cost as everyone is kinda dark lol Back in Missouri I got followed around stores, had my bags checked coming out of stores, had clears talk to me in slow broken English, and before I could open my mouth was told they didn't speak spanish. I have since lost my tan and all that with it. Stuff like that is a real wake up call.

Racism is completely natural. Nothing wrong with it at all. In fact, it's beneficial to civilization. It's not coincidence that civilization has been in decline since racism was turned into something taboo.

Igor, love your channel, watching it for a long time now, would love to see more of your vlogs, gaming videos, and business/economic videos since u hv a masters in it.

Wow this video is 7 years old and to think how much worse London has gotten since the release of this clip.

I will bet her background is from the Ukraine since lots came to the Canadian praries from there

President Trump had to say:For Muslim Immigrants\n\n“IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT.. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans.\n\n“This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories, by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.\n\n“We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!\n\n“Most Americans believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools.\n\n“If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.\n\nWe will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.

Bhaiya it's been long since you uploaded a vd

Trudeau going to have to establish a DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program in Canada now - people don't realize there is probably thousands like her scattered across the country mostly in the major cities. They all want similar relief from potentially being deported if they are caught. I have no problem giving it to them since most of them are young but I would enforce the condition that they have to resettle in Manitoba, Northern Ontario and the Atlantic Provinces - areas in Canada experiencing population decline, aging demographics and high job vacancy numbers. We don't need people who didn't follow the rules further overcrowding cities like Toronto and Vancouver where the cost of living is rising every year.

I feel some sympathy for her. She is now 28 the last order would have been sent to her mother in 2006 which her mother ignored (at the time she was maybe 14) she would not have had a clue about what happened as a minor, since she was only 6 when she arrived. She should have dealt with this when she was 18 but 10 years have passed...she seems to be contributing and well spoken it's a tough call. She could go back to France and reapply as a landed immigrant - perhaps that would save face for the government and for her to get in legally. No idea why her mother thought a refugee application was a good idea from France of all places...

please answer i am b com since 2005 currently i working in bank how can i apply canada Atlantic immigration pilot program

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.

For almost 150 years the Liberal Left has been conducting an experiment. The subjects of the experiment: African people and working-class whites. The hypothesis to be tested: Can people taken from the jungles of Africa and forced into slavery be fully integrated as citizens in a majority white population?\n\nThe whites were descendants of Europeans who had created a majestic civilization. The former slaves had been tribal peoples with no written language and virtually no intellectual achievements.\n\nActing on a policy that was not fair to either group, the government released newly freed African people into a white society that saw them as inferiors. America has struggled with racial discord ever since.\n\nDecade after decade the problems persisted but the experimenters never gave up. They insisted that if they could find the right formula the experiment would work, and concocted program after program to get the result they wanted.\n\nThey created the Freedman’s Bureau, passed civil rights laws, tried to build the Great Society, declared War on Poverty, ordered race preferences, built housing projects, and tried midnight basketball.\n\nTheir new laws intruded into people’s lives in ways that would have been otherwise unthinkable. They called in National Guard troops to enforce school integration. They outlawed freedom of association. Over the protests of parents, they put white children on buses and sent them to African schools and vice versa.\n\nThey tried with money, special programs, relaxed standards, and endless hand-wringing to close the “achievement gap.” To keep white backlash in check they began punishing public and even private statements on race.\n\nThey hung up Orwellian public banners that commanded whites to “Celebrate Diversity!” and “Say No To Racism.”\n\nNothing was off limits if it might salvage the experiment.\nSome thought that the Talented Tenth would lead the way for African people. A group of elite, educated Africans would knock down doors of opportunity and show the world what Africans were capable of. There is a Talented Tenth. They are the African Americans who have become entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors and scientists. But ten percent is not enough. For the experiment to work, the ten percent has to be followed by a critical mass of people who can hold middle-class jobs and promote social stability. That is what is missing.\n\nThrough the years, too many African people continue to show an inability to function and prosper in a culture unsuited to them.\n\nDetroit is bankrupt, the south side of Chicago is a war zone, and majority-black cities all over America are beset by degeneracy and violence. And Africans rarely take responsibility for their failures. Instead, they lash out in anger and resentment. Across the generations and across the country, as we have seen in Detroit, Watts, Newark, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, and now Ferguson, rioting and looting are just one racial incident away.\n\nThe white elite would tell us that this doesn’t mean the experiment has failed. We just have to try harder. We need more money, more time, more understanding, more programs, more opportunities. But nothing changes no matter how much money is spent, no matter how many laws are passed, no matter how many African geniuses are portrayed on TV, and no matter who is president.\n\nSome argue it’s a problem of “culture,” as if culture creates people’s behavior instead of the other way around. Others blame “white privilege.” But since 1965, when the elites opened America’s doors to the Third World, immigrants from Asia and India–people who are not white, not rich, and not “connected”–have quietly succeeded. While the children of these people are winning spelling bees and getting top scores on the SAT, African “youths” are committing half the country’s violent crime–crime, that has nothing to do with poverty.

I have been followed in target for looking like people of walmart. As a mom of two I rarely look fabulous. Typically I look pretty homeless without hair and makeup. \nWhen I was followed it made me feel so shameful when I was doing NOTHING wrong. I ended up leaving with nothing and I haven't been back since. Now I am imagining this happening everywhere.\nI am so sorry for the world we live in. Especially for people of color.

I get the black guy being harrased since. I know they get it but that Asian usually would be passed as white so he complaining more than the black guy so I think he's just tryna act like it's so hard

Victoria BC has a racism problem. Since this was made it has only gotten worse.

15:25 'take the test ... ' ? There are people who know how to get the result they want from the second test which you claim is difficult to deceive since it tries to measure subconscious bias as opposed to the first which you claim measure more overt bias and thus people can deceive it.

the same thing going on in PEI and it's the Government who are the fraudsters in that one since 2017. Millions of dollars not accounted for. Is there any gov. in this country that isn't a crook. Even the PM Trudy, is a criminal and we still got him for another year or two depending as it's a minority. Evil Liverals NDP, Green and now Scheer has shown the same evil ways too. Is there any hope of getting this country run by loyalists to the people? Glad they caught this scammer but I am sure there are a lot more in PEI helping Chinese get permanent residency.

it's interesting how they always victimize themselves when they are the aggressors. Destroying numerous historical sites throughout the world since the beginning of their Inception from their false prophet Muhammad. the burqa is scary to me what a freaking nightmare to have to live under a black sheet. The American people need to march on these places like Dearborn Michigan we must not allow this in our nation it is the Trojan Horse

What a pile of propaganda. No other culture on earth goes in to work dressed as a priest. Or a witch. Or the Ku klux clan etc. This is not in the Quaran, it is a cultural practice made to enslave woman and keep servant. They teach in our universities it is fine to mate with a three year old and a camel. So do you think this silly mask would help slow down interest? . Since no one else can at work wear such things then they cannot either. Like harper said do on your own time and place. They are no more important than anyone else. Could care less what they choose to wear, that is the point they should not have the right to enforce their rules in government places. Nor pray in schools or work or any place. Simply the same rules for all. Your employer does not allow you to come in dressed as the black panthers. Or like this or that. They may have particular dress codes. Enough of cater to them they removed this right in Denmark and now all get along much better due to they are not wearing it to work or on streets to annoy people

I took it maybe years ago in a college course and I showed no prejudice but now I dont think I would get the same score because the experiences I've had since then and I try to keep an open mind by keeping my high school friends around me of many different races but it's hard

Cleverly this videos talks about "how much" and not "how many" refugees get Social Assistance, then uses Vietnamese legal immigrants (the hardest working people in Canada) as an example of how quickly they become self-supporting. The truth about refugees aftermath is that, the large majority of refugees in Canada coming originally from third world countries, live on Social Assistance for several years, some for life, knowing that the Canadian government will provide for them anything they need (Ironically there are very few statistics on this matter and no statistics at all since 2015, when the current government was elected).

Gurratan Singh is awesome, but its not an attack to a race, its bigotry, since a religion is not a race... ;)

Since legal immigration requires lawyers and lawyers are expensive Probably lots of people wanting citizenship lose lots of money some lawyers don't even care about your case just getting paid.

As he should since he loves his country he's only doing what he knows to protect it Islamic Muslims have not shown to be peaceful to anyone that is not Muslim

Just since 9-11 there's been 35,000 acts of terror in 65 countries and counting, what's not to like?

Just since 9-11 there's been 35,000 acts of terror in 65 countries and counting, what's not to like?

What's wrong about telling fact about not being muslim. Just finish the matter right there. No need to understand whether it's a hate or reasonable response or anything. Just clear yourself from the matter, since the attacking person might have other wrong intentions.

Justin trudo did a crime to canada and western values by importing islamic jihadists to canada. Islamic phobea started since muhammed when he said people around three thousand miles are afraid og him at that time since he terrorised the the existing nations and tribes around and in quran he promotes violence and terror to spread islam for allahu.

I just wanna remind people to vote!\nIv always known the importance of voting since i became of age but I'm noticing its more important then ever!!! I think in the last 20 years Canada has gone down hill and I'm ashamed! \nAnd no offence but Justin needs to go too.lol

Name one Muslim majority country that is peaceful, tolerates non-Muslims, and has not been fighting since 600 AD when Islam came to be. Such a peaceful religion...when it's a minority. FACT!!!

Respect this bro..maybe the white guy cant diff between muslim n sikh since this brother got full beard and turd..

Nobody is safe in Canada anymore since lawless P.E.T.C.A.R. became Jihady Justin Warriors

I was walking thru my city I was not drunk in fact I'd only drank coffee. A head of me were a group of gay men ..four asain men starting to threaten the men so being a citizens and an ex sqauddie I offered to assist which I did .... there have been no Muslim patrols in the area since

*So Many Racist Comments below* \nPeople think its easy since it's never happened to them before

Today in 2019 Trudeau said that what's going on in Europe won't happen here ,,, well alot has happened here in Canada since 2015 ,,, many would say a better Muslim is one that are not here in Canada .

I came to Canada to travel but on an immigration visa in 1965, I got a job from Canada employment centre for 1.50 where nobody spoke english , I quit after 1 day. A week later I found a job in the machineshop for 3.00 Dollars. Good thing the foreman found a portugiese employee who translated from spanish to english, I myself spoke german, ever since then I did I was on the upswing. The government gave me nothing, had enough money to go back. Always a dictionary in my pocket. In six weeks i know enough english to make the driverlicence and bought a car.

I am sorry but You are absolutely wrong.May be its your personal experience but just remember you convey this message to 964,068 people, it means you have to talk about general experience of International Students. Don't demotivate to innocent new comers. I am also in Canada since 2018. As you said about job troubles but you should know about Canadian rules and regulations for work and how conscious they are for any workers.

maybe you should learn to speak are language since you have being here long enough eh

The prophet Mohammed himself would have fallen foul of sharia since he drank alcohol, wore women's clothing, had more than 4 wives and had sex with girls and boys.

My dear friend, I am Pakistani. I have BS (Hons) degree in the subject of Economics, and I want to come to Canada But I have not enough money. So how can I come to Canada, is there any way...?\nAnd my uncle also living in Canada with his family since 2011 but he is not giving me Visa. He have started a business of Car Showrooms at Ottawa side.\n\n\nAnd bro Excellent work, keep it up. Thank you..................

Absolutely nothing has changed much over the past twenty years, except that people are not doing the racism denial thing.. not as widespread as ten years ago anyway. Since the past two years, no one denies that it is happening. And that alone makes things clearer for everyone. Nothing worse than wondering if it is your hair color, your negativity, your lack of smile or outgoing behavior.

If i observe someone watching me. I say since your watching me why don't you come and help me shop?

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!

Last time I went to BestBuy I walked in and passed by about 8 sales persons standing in a circle just talking about anything and nothing. went to the back where they sell speakers for cars and couldn't find what I was looking for. I walked back to the circle jerk and asked for help and one person broke away and the first thing I said was it must be nice to work for a failing company and everyone gets to just stand around while customers walk by and no one even notices. Looks like you are overstaffed and someone needs to do some firing. He showed me some speakers and I just ordered them online. Haven't been back to BB since about 2 years ago. Oh, yea. I'm white.

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 say no more immigrants in the USA. So tired of poor uneducated and greedy people from third world countries. United states is rotting within since that's the type of people we get. They are a curse to us and it will never get better.
