Let me tell you one thing ... huge majority of Muslims in GTA professing naqab/burkha or organizing themselves in various form of advocacy groups, rights groups, activists ; or consolidating in mosques are of Pakistani origin.

China did China thing lol

One thing you should remember Money rules *( Rules, Laws, Jail are only for poor/ middle class people )*

Racism is based on true things blown way outta proportion.\nKeyword: true\nKeyphrase: blown way outta proportion\nBoth parties are not innocent, both are guilty.

River's of blood comes to mind when I see the way thing's are progressing. Enoch looks as though he's going to be proved right.?

Why do Chinese people want to be Canadian in China?\nAlso seems this is the way things work in China and their people culturally expect the same kind of corruption and pay to play attitudes everywhere.\n\n\n Of course on some level its true everywhere. Look at the college scandle in USA where rich moms bought their lazy children entery to top schools.

The BEST BUY thing was bs thats what they do they have 30 employees there to check on you every 35 seconds nice try CBC

I tell you one thing they both have in common and that they are both similar of is that they are both racist towards black people and they both have racism Canada and the United States are the exact same

did not take all his money ,try should have . jail time 20 yrs would work to help others to do the same thing . but Canada is \na place you can get away with anything and pass it on to more Chinese to do the same

The only thing I don't quite understand is why?

I have experienced security guards walking back and forth between the aisles staring at me in London and other parts of England, much more so than in the US. I am black, and the weird thing is that some of the security guards have been black and dark-skinned like me. I got tired of it, and now when it happens I wave to them and say hello. Sometimes, when I'm feeling especially brave and frustrated, and when they walk close to me, I ask them if they're watching me and tell them, 'Don't worry. I don't steal.' It's satisfying to see the embarrassed and uncomfortable looks on their faces.

we aren’t anti-women. women choose to wear it themselves, they aren’t forced by anyone. also don’t blame a whole religion from a bad thing that a few people may have done.

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.

This really put things in perspective of me. As an African American woman I was interested in moving to Canada because you hear so many great thing but to see that I still will be facing the same things is definitely a wake up. I know it happens everywhere I was just hoping it would be better and more tolerable.

There's cases in this episode where they assumed racism without proof like the Best Buy for example. I used to work at Best Buy for a Co-Op placement in highschool and shoplifting was a big issue for them, it became best practice at one point to just approach customers of any race and ask them what they need. You also have to realize that it's an electronics store, you're there to buy something specific or look for something in particular.. It's very suspicious to be browsing around for 15 minutes unless you're in a game or movie section. Shoplifters usually stall before attempting a theft and usually do buy one or two things as to not arouse suspicion.

Some consultants from India are doing the same thing

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

Best thing about you u know whatt???\nYou say those little details what we really wanna know\nJo doosre youtuber nahi bolte..upar upar me bat karke vdo ko long karke bas hume kuch kehdete hai aur phir bolte bhi nahi jo actual me janna zaroori hai.\nSo thanks.keep doing the goodwork bro

Why does Canada allow Chinese media print in their symbols? LOL.. things people overlook for money.

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

I'm an american and this definitely has a powerful impact on our society. It's very much an unfortunate reality along with other things we are still being impacted by,

The Best Buy thing was not a fair experiment, there is a reason experiments need to run multiple times with different variables. Maybe the black guy had more expensive clothes and looked like he would spend more....they're probably right that it was racism, but that isn't conclusive enough to throw out those accusations.

The funny thing is that the most contagious COVID-19 strain is from Europe. So it's the Europeans who are responsible for spreading the most in Eastern Canada and US. It was also the Germans and the Italians who continues to do business and have close ties with the Chinese communists party despite all the human rights issues. They are responsible for bringing COVID-19 to Europe as early as late 2019.

I'm sorry, I never had an inmigrant status nor do I come from a country with a huge inmigrant tradition... But even I find the petition for refugee status kinda odd. I mean, go for another vida. Why do you need that refugee thing?

Okay. A lot of people here have no clue how the immigration system works both in the US and in Canada. “He should just have come here legally”. Well, most of the time a legal path to emigrating to the US/Canada just does not exist, and its getting more and more impossible to be granted asylum. In the US you can’t just apply for a work visa, you can’t just apply for a green card. You got to be eligible to apply for it. For a work visa you need a job offer first, you need proof of income and most of the time the employer will have to prove they couldn’t find an American to take the position. To get a green card you either have to get married to an American, invest at least $500,000 or try applying for asylum (which is almost impossible to get nowadays). ALSO to apply for asylum you need to be either inside the US or at a US port of entry. Try to be less “patriotic” and more empathetic. People flee their countries because of war, violence, cartels, gangs, terrorism, etc. They are desperate and want to protect their families and have a better life. If you were in their shoes and staying in your home country put your family in great harm you would have done the same thing. People need to stop judging, stop being selfish and start leading with empathy.

You are way up north from your country! UNITE and fight for your COUNTRY! Especially your corrupt politicians!! Don't run and expect for every thing to go great. Especially since it not your home country!!

If i was there. Things will be different. One will get hurt and its not gonna be me\n . Edmonton police is a joke

I worked in property management for many years. The only things that matter are income, credit score and criminal background, this is a bunch of malarkey.

Even with our faults I can’t help but believe we are still one of the best. Especially with how things are looking for our neighbours to the south.

People are frustrated and lashing at each other.\nRemember truadeau garbage fiasco in philipines and how they lush out at Canada calling us names. And almost declaring war.\n\nPeople got frustrated they really didn't meant it.\n\nI have been scream at because i work in a hospital.\nEveryone needs to came down \nAnd don't scalate things.

It seems that people conflate individual acts and experiences of racism with systemic racism. If the police stop and question me because I match a description - that's not racism, that's just inconvenient. Now if the officer said - hey according to city by-law blah blah blah, you're under arrest for having blue eyes *that* is systemic. There is a written on the books law treats me different from others. Systemic racism and flawed personal bias are not the same thing. The former does not exist in its literal form and (i'm very sorry kids) the latter will never go away completely.

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!

The first step before understanding a conflict, let alone trying to solve it, is listening. Bravo to CBC for giving a voice to people who are in positions of leadership who represent the disenfranchised, the violated and the overlooked. One thing that can be frustrating about “not seeing a problem that doesn’t involves us immediately” is that we are locked in to our own worldview—and it’s frustrating to be asked to change something we ourselves don’t think needs fixing. The importance of just listening, and being witnesses to specific stories, human to human—and being reeducated on the lingering multi-generational consequences of past and current racism is what needs to be focused on, if you are an individual who feels like nothing is wrong. The task is merely to listen—and doubt your sense of comfort, satisfaction and preference for the status quo. Listening, and doubt can lead to change. Collective change can lead to understanding, and even, healing. It is so hard to doubt oneself at this level because “othering” is a very strong force in tribal instincts and dynamics. To be asked to let go of this seemingly real sense of self and group identity can be extremely unsettling, psychologically. I hope that is somehow helpful for people who are reading, in some way. I wish that our education not only reflected history accurately, but also made it mandatory to learn basic principles of psychology.

People hardly notice that I’m black. The only thing they see is my hijab?? ?

I love everyone man. Just don't criticize my favorite things and we good.

To me, a democratic society is an equal and just society for each and every citizen. Freedom is where every citizen has all their civil rights in that democratic society. This means we should be valued and treated equally under every circumstance.\n\nI'm a Canadian and I can see we are not doing that by over-policing black and indigenous communities, by denying indigenous communities the ability to participate in Canadian society with their own culture in tact and by our biases about people with other ethnicities, like Asians and East and West Indians.\n\nWe may not be bad as the US, but we are still doing these things. It needs to be addressed and rectified if we ever want to be a truly self-aware, equal and just democratic society for every citizen.\n\nRegardless of the political party we support, I can't fathom why every citizen would not want an equal and just democratic society for themselves and their fellow citizens, as it improves everyone's lives.

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.

One thing I do see all the time in my personal experience is almost 100% of my delivery drivers when I order take out from uber/doordash/skip they are blacks or minorities.. I mean those jobs are not secure and don't even pay minimum wage after expenses. The fact that these people can't seem to find better work is a concern.

I enjoyed this \nIt’s refreshing to hear that people are becoming more aware of the things people do that seem small, like touching your hair without asking. That definitely makes me feel like a dog

Listen, we are living in an unprecedented time. Prophecies are unfolding and things are about to change. Read the prophecy at Daniel chapter 2 read the whole chapter. At verse 40 all the way through 47. Note the feet made of clay and Iron and what happens next when the rock from heaven is hurled at the feet, the statue's weakest point. Statue topples over and is destroyed. Those that are now in power will loose all power. Rulership will be given back to the One who is ruling in heaven now. All things point in that direction. The statues represents all the world powers of the earth. Rome was one of the strongest representing the legs made of iron but the feet made of iron and clay represent the world power of today. The Anglo American world power, THE FEET. These words are faithful and true.

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.

things breaks after i see cbcs scary man

There is no such thing as Racism we all came from the same Father race is all a construct invented by evil leftists to conquer and divide .

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.

City really has a lot to with it. I’m a Hispanic in Houston, Texas, one of the most Hispanic places in Texas, and I’ve never really felt uncomfortable or felt like people have any prejudice towards me, but I didn’t know racism was still a thing until I was 19, so I may be super oblivious to these things still

Canada is full of racism and that’s a fact. There is not much of the difference with the States either. Only difference is that Canada’s racism comes in the form institutional and systemic racism. The states have a way bigger platform than Canada so their situations regarding racism will be covered more than Canada’s and also Canada hides behind the “it’s such a diverse country” statement to diverge from the issue of racism. Ask yourself this- Which country do you see a wider diverse representation of, concerning the people in power? In Toronto we just had our first black police chief(which was a big thing here) a few years back while in the States they’ve been having people of colour and many minorities in power. Representation of different ethnic backgrounds is an issue here but nevertheless the states still have a long way to go with racism. I love Canada so much but there is absolutely racism that this country will not bother to even acknowledge
