I’m Canadian ?? but hopefully get to move to Hawaii one day. Hawaii has a different culture than the rest of USA

As a Canadian who has traveled to 12/13 provinces/territories (sorry NFLD) and all regions of the mainland USA I have couple comments. First, both Canada and the USA the accents and culture are very different depending on the area (another similarity!). People from Vermont have more in common with people from New Brunswick than they do with their fellow Americans in Texas. People from British Columbia have more in common with people from Washington than they do with Quebeckers. Second, I actually find that Americans are super friendly in some states, more outgoing than Canadians (like say Tennessee). Also, Drew, if you ever want to go to the Far North in Canada it's a whole other world of Inuit people speaking Inuktitut on Baffin Island - for me that area seems like another country!

Drew, its not hockey, it's ice hockey. Hockey is a similar but different sport

I’m from Canada and another different is we call your Americans smarties “rockets” meanwhile our smarties look like M&Ms

I think one of the big differences between USA & Canada is mentality. I find that Canadian’s & Australians to share more similarities in terms of mindset then Canadians & Americans.

not free, universal. there's a difference

Another difference \nUSA: Cost of drugs is enormously high\nCANADA: Drug prices are very affordable.

USA and Canada is very different, kind of like how Australia and New Zealand are very different

I am a bit disappointed here I thought you would draw a list of subtle and little known differences that you noticed in your trips, but instead you just named a few obvious differences that anyone can also find in the first paragraph of Wikipedia in thosw two countries pages.

Should have talked about the difference in taxes

Difference between Usa and Canada? Canada has not mass shootings

The big difference in sport are that the Canadians know what ist the geeatest sport of the universe..HOCKEY. the us should play and push much more hockey as they do.

Also Canadian Football is a somewhat different from American Football in terms of number of downs and size of the field which is just a fun fact

Snow Mexico vs Gun Mexico (Similarities and Differences)

Our political values are the biggest difference.

Biggest difference: health care for all

Canada: different candy, houses, license place, cold weather.\nUsa: biggest candy retails, highest GDP in the world, most wealthiest country in the world I think.

USA is good at hockey Canada isn’t ....huge difference

Black people need to know  about  African History not European  Culture ,    let me give u  a little  about   African  History , this  for Blacks in Canada ,  America and blacks  all over the world ,   Heres  history   About our people ,    thousands years ago on the continent of Africa ,  theres was place called Ancient Egypt ,  Egypt  was birth place of math, Science,  Philososphy,  and more ,   when Greeks , like Alaxander  came  to Egypt , he study the culture of Egyptians ,  and   Greek Philosopher like  Plato  and  other Greek Philosophers who study  for over 20 to 30 years  in  Ancient Egypt,   so Greeks stole knowledge  from  from the  Ancient  Egypt .   all the letters and words didn't come  Greece ,    the Greeks stole  it   from Egypt  ,   the greeks would put their stamp on their books , so you would think that Greeks    came up    with the Knowledge , but they  didn't  , it was Ancient  Egyptians .   Ancient Egypt is been around  10 to 20 thousands  years  before Greece and Rome ,  there was no other kingdom like  Ancient  Egypt ,    many people  from different  culture  came  to Study in Egypt , before Greece and Rome   snd Arabs and Europeans .    Africa was the light of the world .    everything that  we use today like  math, Science,  letters, and words  that we use come  from  Ancient  Egypt , so black people should  feel proud of   where they   come from  ,

Black people, we were traveling to Canada before slavery , during Slavery and after slavery. Black people were world explorers before the founding of America. Black people came from different civilizations throughout world History.

This comment section is filled with people saying Muslims are bad no they’re is a difference between The people and the religion you can have a problem with a Religion but not with a people I’m not Muslim I’m Catholic and for Christ’s sake 90% of Muslims are just normal fucking people

These guys are giving Muslim’s a bad name and more a disgrace to there religion, Laos of people of difference in there religions live together-fine in peace until idiots like this start causing trouble.

Stop saying that Muslims need to go back to their Muslim countries, GREAT IDEA but first leave their countries alone first, stop causing wars, financial crisis and other issues in their countries and all of them will happily go back to their so called sharia law countries and guess what????? we will have a major problems in running many different systems in our amazing democratic countries such as the medical industry, just a fun fact..... most of our physicians and pharmacists are actually Muslims also they are the core to so many sectors in N-America and Europe...... I really want them to make that big decision and go back to their home countries and serve their homes just so you all would UNDERSTAND how important these people are to us and why our governments are actually accepting them and even attracting them to come and live, work here but they will never admire these great humans just becouse they are Muslims (history shows that we were the haters and terrorists against them, they were always trying to protect themselves and their land from us) but again we never really learn from history.........

If you expect any different under this Gov you are truly a moron , this Gov is UN driven that's it.

Wow very shocked I'm a rental agent and never treated anyone differently always open about any unit I have to everyone. I submit all applications from all cultures to Head Office and they pick who has the strongest Application not what colour their skin is nor am I ever asked that question by any landlord I work for, thank God...

Let's face the reality. Discrimination is a fact of life whether it's legal or not. But it's not all about race. Anyone can be discriminated against because of the way they look, act, dress, even the way they walk and talk. You can have two people from the same ethnic group and they can have a totally different experience. For me, it's mostly positive. Not only it's positive, I felt I have an upper hand because of my race. If people like you, they will be color blind. If they don't, it doesn't matter what race you are. So please stop this type of racial dividing message. What you should promote is property etiquette in different cultures and help people become part of the melting pot and understand each other better so we can all get along.

this happens to everyone in different demographics. on different scales.

they talk about women's higher status.. ??? and what what about NIkah halala???? Triple Talak??? there is a difference between Islamic education and formal education... note it

Go to Denmark and then you will see racism. In Denmark it's not just your skin color but that you come from different country.

Everyone: The test question are worded wrong!!! They’re trying to mess you up! You guys know that’s the point it’s an unconscious choice so while one wording may make you disagree on the surface another wording may strike a cord with your unconscious mind. It’s supposed to make you respond quick and true with different versions of the question to make your mind work.

Looks like the U.K. has had zero policy for integration.\nCurious whether any better long-term consequences would have resulted, if they had enforced ratios for different racial groups living within each neighbourhood.

It depends where you live, if you live in a strictly black neighborhood and are white, expect to be looked at differently, if you live in a strictly white neighborhood and are black, expect to be looked at differently as well, so these tests and questions of being followed at the beginning, aren’t very accurate

Don't believe any Muslim if they excusing that they are different from radical Islamist ....it's just a trick by executing they making fool to originals citizens of respective countries ...actally they are shading radicalism

CBC you need stick a Indian & Brown skin Arab in their. Yes their is racism in different ways / workplaces / shopping malls.

Interesting insight into a country, that has been build on land grabbing, genocide and discrimination. Those Europeans living over there need to keep it down and stop discriminating about their fellow countrymen of different ethnicities.

The math at 5:00 is incorrect rewatch it he was offer 930 6th floor and feb 1st\nThe only difference was she didnt offer the second apartment to him

Its dangerous. I am from a muslim community, but I am not a islamic believer. We usually wear doti to outside and will fold it above knee. I am from kerala. When i was studying in hyderabad. When i went outside with doti folding above knee. Some people wearing skull cap called me and asked me to unfold the doti and cover lower part of leg and they was very angry. After that they asked me my name. When i told my name is fasal rahman, they asked me that why brother dont cover 'ourath'. They told that they thought i am a tamil hindu. I replied them that we malayalis usually wear like this. There is no difference between hindu muslim or christian. The thing is that when shariat started to rule us. It will degrade the freedom and liberty of people. And moreover muslims have many views on shariat. Its age old thing and is based on semantic laws and principles.

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 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...

Stay away from jibril (satan under cover).\nHis attitude is different not like angel Gabriel.

Try having 3 white guys wearing differently and see if people will treat them differently... We are just normal human beings.. not Saints.. so racism, biases etc will always be there.. and the more we over react or being over sensitive, the more these issues will become obvious..

I live in the US but I always love watching these different episodes. I’m glad y’all covered this. It’s a real mf issue

Now try going to China, or south Africa while being white and see if its any different. Most likely not. The difference is assimilation to a hosting country's culture and traditions. These three gentlemen seem like good dudes but discrimination exists EVERYWHERE. Stop cherry picking and you will see IT less.

Mam, people look at you differently, cos you are dressed differently. Apart from that, how they behave around you, depends on how your group sets as example. Group would mean your identity that is visible to people. In naqab, the first identity that is visible to people is Islam. While you can't control what other people around the world following Islam do. What you can do and encourage other Muslims around you to do is to set examples of kindness. Reaching out to people and helping people. Not just Muslims. And shun those people openly who speak radical Islam. Then you will notice, how people change the way they look at you.

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 was followed a couple times in stores by people of all different races so I mean it could happen to anybody.

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!

Then why don’t you have a guy wearing a mask over his face people might not be favorable to masks it doesn’t mean it’s racism at the mask everyone for the test again no control to your experiment you’re dumb just like I may get treated differently if I have a biker outfit on then a suit and a tie it doesn’t mean it’s racism or clean-shavenVersus a beard

I just find the film industry so frustrating. As a woman I just feel that it's a white male dominated industry. The Oscars just reinforced my consistent frustration. Films are predominantly aimed at white men, big block busters that make maximum profit, celebrating the male archetype. Men review films, men analyse the profit made and then decide more films for men need to be made. I feel so under-represented in films and I can see how much worse this is cross culturally. I was talking to a student of mine who has gone on to do film making at uni and raised this with him after some discussions on our favourite films. He hadn't really thought about the need of different audiences to see films that reflect their own backgrounds, ideologies etc. Hopefully the new generation of film makers will bring with them a more authentic and fresh approach to film making.
