More like stereo typing people....and these assumptions are mostly presuppositions......that are not necessarily true to personal experiences.

I personally know one of the fake Bangladeshi Canadian immigration attorney ( so called Barrister), he’s commenting human trafficking from USA to Canada his name is Delowar Hossain. His cell#437-220-1502, he’s taking illegal people from N Y state entering them in the Canada ?? and taking $20k-30k. Please catch him,

I think in like these schools or job positions it should be about the skills of the person not the race or gender. If for example 2 people apply to a job and one is black and one is white and the white one gets picked because of his skin color then that shouldn't be acceptable. But let's say that the white guy had better skills in that exact position than the black man then i think the white guy should be picked. It's about the skill not gender race etc.

I often tell people i get treated differently when I wear my afro. I can't control the hair that grows from scalp than any person that is a platinum blonde.

No one should be judged because of things they didn't choose, thier birth name,thier place of birth ,thier color,their mother language, judgment should be on the level of respect that I give and receive as a person regardless.

So what if a black person called me a honkie, would I go moaning and have a Youtube video made about it?

Who wants to bet that it’s bored, WHITE, housewives who shoplift the most. Stores don’t know this because that type of person is never hounded while shopping thus never gets caught.

This is more typical CBC yellow journalism. As an English speaking white person, I could easily provide the CBC with hidden camera evidence of white people being discriminated and bullied by indigenous and french Canadian people because of my race and language, but of course, the CBC wouldn't be interested. LOL

That was totally unfair to assume of Shoppers in Regina. You sent your guy in with 2 personal bags. One was a personal shopping like bag in his left hand (with stuff in it already). The second one was an over the shoulder tote bag (hanging off of his right shoulder and using his right hand to keep it in place). The personal shopping like bag is open at the top and you can easily drop stuff into it, in a second. The tote bag is a fold down flap, which is popular for stealing, you can easily lift the flap ...drop something in...close the flap. If he was actually in there for shopping, he would have had a basket or cart. How is he to carry anything he buys? Both his hands are full. But he wasn't in there to shop....so neither he or the film crew thought of how is he supposed to pick anything up and keep it in his hands. (if he was really shopping). Do the test fairly.

2:06 just to let the Lexus driver know brown is the only colour. Black and white are shades not colours so how does it feel being colourless just your personality. Sounds the like the typical American but the shocking thing is that this is in Canada.

So... I have two daughters that were in the same high school in a town called Port McNeil. One, older and european descended and the younger, indigenous. My older daughter would frequent the local grocery store for her lunch regularly. When her younger sister began attending the same high school, she decided to join here sister at that store for lunch. Understand that my older euro daughter had been doing this every other day for the last year without incident or being approached once. The day she showed up with her sister, they were accosted by a woman who’d been “stocking the shelves” in every isle they entered and told, “you have to leave, I have better things to do than follow you around for an hour!”\nMy indigenous wife wanted to prove to me just how prevalent this was by asking me to stand an isle away from her in walmart in a near by city and sure enough, there was a person arranging the shelves a few meters away from her. This happened over and over. Shopping while indigenous is a thing.

Hi I am Christian and in high school I took a cross out of my backpack Christian cross and placed it on to my desk for a moment and I had my teacher come up to me and tell me that I need to put it in my bag because it was offencive to the person sitting next to me as well as putting my necklace that had a cross on it tucked into my shirt the student that was sitting next to me was wearing a turban and the teacher didn't say anything to him and years later my little brother when he was in grade school was told that he was going to get a detention or sent home if he didn't put his Bible away that he was reading on his free time

What visa does a person need to move to states \nJust to move for better lifestyle

I have no problem to say that i am rasist after this preferences. But not in real life. Everyone is rasist. And if they f.eks had turned it around on that test on the computer. You should have seen that that black dude f.eks had been rasist against europeans. And thats totally normal in my mind. Take the Japanese. They are more rasist than any white person. South Korean's to. And Chinese. It's normal.

The only person I know in Canada is Domics

are they actually saying VIR GI NA.\nHi, Irish person here. VIRGINIA is an irish name and it's pronounced\n\n\nVIR GIN-IA\n\n\nvirginia\n\n\nas in GIN NYA GIN NYA VIRGNYA\n\n\nJesus!

Stereotypes are based to some degree on reality. Truth is just do a Youtube search for dine and dash, or shop lifting, knockout game, street fight, black friday fights, car jacker, etc and your likelihood of finding a black person in there are proportionally higher. That's just a fact not a racial bias.

Having a religion is fine, but you should keep it at home, to yourself because this is something personal. Canada basically making the same mistakes as north western european countries did, but even worst because securalism doesn't seem to be a thing over there, if they keep it that way, they'll call it Canadistan in ten years.

When people get beyond the boundary of a person's color you will face the reality of what this is all about in the first place. Isn't it funny when we look at things like professional sports. The music industry a host of other platforms you see the black community excelling. Now you do not see a huge rebellion taking place from any other nation that is not represented in those areas. So what is really up with these other areas you continue to bring up. All those other problems are not being escaped from because of a persons color. If you believe you have a problem in those areas. Then continue to find solutions. Stop trying to single out the fact that you are the only race that has life issues. When you know every Canadian daily has challenges it faces. The thing about it all is simply this fact. What are you going to do about it ? Stop putting up walls that tell others you are always a victim. If that were the case your basketball courts, baseball stadiums, football fields would not be filled. We all know that is not happening. And I certainly do not believe that all blacks live in this sort of arena. In fact I have a lot of friends who are black. All I see everyday is a beautiful person behind that face. The other thing is, that there are millions of Canadians every year out getting tans when the sun hits. That alone should speak volumes.

I think everyone has their own bias / opinion for any person. Regardless if they are the same race or different. People of the same race can dress differently and people will have different opinions. All we can do is to be our best not to behave in a rude or hurtful way. And I feel for the most part, in major multicultural areas, Canadians are doing their part. \nSome of the tests in the video seem a bit too high level. It's not really scientific. You can't make any definite conclusions from it.

I’ve had uncomfortable interactions in retail stores here in Australia, because I’m a young mum (well not anymore but I have been, I had one baby at 19,21,25 and 27). Purely because they perceived me as a skank and drain on the tax payer to them. I’ve had someone ask if I had a concession card (low income/singles) and when I said “no” they’ve said “really?” Or asked me again as though I didn’t hear them. I’ve had people ask if my children all had the same dad. I would hate to think of how that would be exacerbated if I was a person of colour. I never judge anyone on first impressions but a lot of people do. It’s really sad.

You can’t send one person into a building looking for a apartment, then send another person into the same building looking for the same results, they know someone’s already interested, so they try to get more money out of you, it wasn’t about race

I wouldn't give money to someone wearing a niqab also. It might be a personal choice to wear it or not, but it also leans more to extremist in my views than not. wearing a hijab isn't that bad, but a niqab is usually found in extremist mentality.

Well it’s completely not a Rase’s at all for example I am from Fiji I never seen any one covering they face in my life but I have seen women’s covered they face in Canada wow for me it is very scary and i get panning I am very honest I am very nervous to see any one covers they face at all this is my biggerest problem ever looks like a Devil is attacking me it’s so much sceary never want to hurt any one this is reality and I also very sceard to see people with big Beard I am very soft heart person

Lol my black model sister don’t like the truth she is ugly for real haha but I am sorry for her treatments as a black person

So if you ask nicely a colored person if they need help, it's because of racism...got it...

It isn'tonly racial profiling instruments being used. There are all kinds of instruments being used to analyze our personal data anytime a person asks for help of any kind from the gand so gone are the days when you could count on offering blind trust to proft essionals assuming they will be accountable to those they serve for their best interests when interpreting the details of your case with you and with others since all they have to do when questioned is to produce a print out of automated results as 'scientific' proof to back up their impressions and conclusions about your situation and health. Who has the time to pour over every detailed highly technical looking instrument result? of their legal decisions recomended to a judge in business law and other kinds of court rooms and sometimes those automated results are being used to push medical diagnosic labels and then use them in a court of law whenever a malpractice suit is being waged.

Most of these Ninja dressed folks are the extremist end of Muslims.\n\n\nThe average Muslim immigrant (Atleast from Indian Subcontinent) works hard, goes through all the loops of legal immigration and even works to put in effort to adjusting to Canadian Culture. From my (Personal Perspective) all legal immigrants should make 100% effort to learning the countries culture they immigrate to its the least we can give in return as immigrants and also work towards contributing towards Canada's economy instead of leeching it. There are certain crazy extremes but the average Muslim works towards his / her bread & butter to live another day.

Sikhs have always supported muslims...anyways who is that foolish person asking him about shariyah..maybe he took sikhs turban as talibanz turban,, such an idiot

Canada is for Type B personality who value safety and security.\nUSA is for Type A personality who value risk and rewards.

Wow I never knew of Canada's prejudices. I encounter a lot of Toronto ppl in NYC that I'm not keen on but their personalities just remind me of folks you encounter on the upper Eastside. I have southern roots (SC and MS) and have grown up in Missouri most my life so I know racism. I would hope it couldn't be worse than that in Canada, as I still do want to visit one day soon.

I am a Muslim and I am hurt by this but hate it when Sikhs blame us for them being hated. That white person is ignorant joust tell him your a Sikh and report him to the Police.

Every second Person in Canada is A Punjabi ??

the standard of living is not the same in usa and canada lol, I mean sure if you're a rich white privileged person, you won't notice it but canada is much better for the average person.

My personal take is that Canada is safer, friendlier, colder, and the system is less corrupt, whilst the U.S. is bigger, more influential, and more fun if you live in a major city.

Cananda is tolerant, not inclusive. I’m a tiny black female and I’ve always carried myself a certain way because of my upbringing. However, I have been racially profiled my whole life. Thus, you can be ok with people being around you but it doesn’t mean that if you had a choice they would continue to remain there. We need to ask ourselves what makes a race more dominant than the other? \nThen, how did we come to this determination that a race determines a persons characteristics? \nRacism disgust me, maybe we should just all be blind lol.

18:37: “Sometimes you just have to tolerate that behaviour a little bit.”\nBut why should people “tolerate it” weren’t we all taught the same lessons in kindergarten too speak up when someone was treating ourselves or other unfairly? I truly do not understand this sentence. It’s said by a white person so maybe he just isn’t getting it. I understand that It’s not easy to put yourself in someone else shoes, but come on man. Don’t tell people of colour to “just tolerate it” in fear of coming off as a SJW. That’s how the bullies win. Buzzwords can’t hurt you but racial profiling dose and has.

Any person educated on middle eastern politics knows that it is not Islam that is causing bloodshed over there, but rather politics and the pro-dictators vs democrats. For instance, Syria's war outbreak is because of the regime's dictators war against people who want political freedom.

I find it very depressing that the history of black people seem incomplete,without reference to slavery.....but most nowadays African Americans,don't know much about slavery......and it should be understood that most Africans were born free,they were never slaves.\n How can we bring more dignity to the black person abroad......seeing that the immediate reaction of being reminded of slavery is racism.\nI would like to hear a renewed rhetoric that identifies the years of slavery in speeches. It packages things.

Accepting Christ in your heart as your personal saviour will change your whole life and outlook on yourself love yourself

First lets define racists what the definition means to me It is when a person discriminates against a race of people .Many people use the word to get attention or use it when they do not get their way so i am defining the diffenition meaning see we back for me in early 1960s discriminated against black people so the word became racists laws were passed to protect and change that discrimination that took place so has it changed yes it has

I think all companies should do blind recruitment, that way the person is hired for their competence, just like the orchestra. What a brilliant idea.

RCMP fake police, border still open to allow possibly infected persons, you lied to all Canadians trudope you are shameful and that's putting it mildly.

the truest test of character : give a person authority , then watch what they do with it ...

I blame every single person who voted for Trudeau.

Your question to the RCMP officer was stupid He is paid to follow orders While he is at work his personal opinion does not matter What were you trying to do shame him for doing his job Go back to school and learn a little finesse and gracefulness You are like a bull in a china shop Oh and bye the way Trudeau as much as i think he is a bad leader did not say that Canadians were restricted from returning home

just imagine how it is for a brown Latino person like me. it's way worse! but I still think Canada is so much better than other places. # iLoveCanada.

How can a person be accepted in a society when no one can see their faces?

A Canadian public institution ran this ad: We are committed to diversity and encourage applications from Indigenous persons , sexual minorities, visible minorities, women and persons with disabilities. That comes from HR. How about 'We will consider all qualified applicants. Period. Then pick the most qualified applicant.

Maybe they should be upset at the people that give them a bad name. Maybe they should do the same experiment with a white person walking through a black neighbourhood at night.
