They should try handing the leaflets and getting people told at west ham, millwall and Chelsea home games...............

If two people come in and ask about an apartment, it makes complete sense for the second guy to get a higher price, because the landlord is going to feel like he has multiple offers coming in. It doesn't prove that the landlord is biased, so much as that he's changing prices to increase his chances of an optimal offer. These kinds of effects are things that economists try to control for when they do these studies.

That is so racist and ignorant she has no respect for south Asian community some people are rude disrespectful and racist she didn't said sorry when someone is being racist in a bus or train people always watch the scene staring don't get me wrong

you not people of earth... get off from my earth

Why do you only get “excellent customer service” from a tipping culture? Sorry, don’t find customer service any better in US or Canada. Depends greatly on the individual / establishment. Think it is more important to give people a good, minimum, wage.

Black people cant get it together .. One major problem is their ability to think like a human....

Oh my god I live in England which is nearly one of the smallest country. its smaller than california but it has 20 million more residents then Canada\n\n\nOk i get it. Canada has a lot of its space using up natural habitats and islands so less people \nBut England surprisingly has 55 million people

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.

P P....prejudice portoricans....i have had puerta Ricans call me and tell me to move out of kissiimmee because its not for white people anymore. There are Puerto Rican stores that I have tried to shop in. My black friend Shirley also does not get waited on.

That racial test in the computer seems very questionable! I’d like to hear the science behind that, like are some of them actually bad people and some good. Too many questions I probably won’t get answers to

I’m a tell your people they don’t get paid back for all the things that they do God sees everything and one is coming to them is going to be dealt in a harsh way so just wait patiently they did Things for all over the countries around us people can’t stand them all over the world I take no parts of the United States I set apart from them this is not my home i’m just passing through.

Usa and Canada aren´t the best countries of the world but a lot inmigrant people think in the economic progress, but Brazil is the best country in the world or another, the USA officers cancel my Visa legal, I tried to visit Denver for 15 days, I tried to get in by Fort Lauderdale, and immigration officers, stop me, I was treated like a criminal, I am a systems engineer, a university professor and I was in a cell one night, the first time this happened to me and there is no justification when my passport and visa were fine.

its not racism its just how the world works currently\nfor example using something other than race\ncar parks on side of the road. car opens door, unseen bike rider gets angry that the car opened the door in his riding path.\nsame bike rider gets to a red light with people crossing. runs the red light swerving through people but sees no problem with that though.\npeople just self centered. everyone chooses a side and only argues for that side. argues against the other side. can never do anything wrong in their own eyes but watches everyone else telling them they are wrong

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

Where are the leaders of the countries these people are running away from? Why arent they held responsible? Why are these people other countries pronlems? We have crime too why cant these people get a handle on it? Looking for a govt upgrade is not cause for asylum

Wait...so can anyone explain am I getting this right? I am from a European country and to apply for a 12 month work permit/visa in Canada I had to get and translate all kinds of travel documents and documents that prove my identity and that I haven't been prosecuted in my country and drive 16 hours just to get biometrics done. And now all of that is going to waste because the borders are closed for me.\nAnd these people can just show up at this border crossing NOW without documents and just like that enter Canada illegally and that's ok? Am I getting this right? Can someone please clarify this to me?

ALL other provinces NEED to ENFORCE a complete BAN on any Illegal REFUGEES Trudeau is allowing to break The Law. So If Trudeau keeps Roxham road open then KEEP ALL the fake REFUGEES QUARANTINED in Quebec and Ontario ONLY! While allowing people who think Trudeau is a goof a chance to get out of the Illegal Refugee zone. All those who didn’t vote for the clown Trudeau or NDP are welcome in the west. All provinces Must fight back!!! This clown is killing us!

Truth = Hate speach so watch out. The real story may end up being that Canada has spent 100’s of millions of dollars for unqualified illegals beacause of Trudeau’s self protion campaign but Canada’s Dr’s have adamantly stated the healthcare system is always operating at 100% capacity. When people start dying because there are not enough resources to save them it will get ugly. The money spent on unqualified illegals not facing death or oppression and a governments obsession on self promotion instead of healthcare infrastructure will not make for a great legacy with an avoidable death count.

Where are the Conservatives been the last four years.Why don't they help put an end to this madness.How many hotel rooms in Quebec and Ontario are filled up with illegals.Does anyone know? Does anyone care?Where are they finding room for the next million refugees coming in ? I don't get it.There is no work anywhere for these people.

I’m so sorry for all of you precious people of Canada! You’re our neighbors (the state of Tennessee USA here) and we see you’re having to put up with everything the Democrats want to do to us if they come into power this November. (The only way they could do that is voter fraud, which is exactly what happened in what we call the mid-term elections in November 2018, when some House of Representatives and Senate seats come open in the two-year cycle halfway thru the Presidential elections - that’s how they won the House back) \n\nThat poor displaced family, though. Bless them; officials need to get to the bottom of where they’ve been, where they actually have citizenship, and attend to them properly and GET CANADIANS HOME! President Trump needs to go up there and jerk a knot in Mr. Trudeau’s rear end. (That’s an old country Southern saying; don’t overthink it please!?? We finally have a President who may be a little bristly, but he loves America and Americans and he is working hard for us!)\n\nBut seriously, wish you much success and although I can’t monetarily, our greatest weapon is prayer and my armor is on (Ephesians 6)!!! Keean, you’ve stepped up to the plate because you love Canada and want to do what’s right by her! You’re doing a wonderful job - “absolutely fantastic” as my YouTube friend Mentour pilot would say. So we hope the situation gets resolved quickly, because this virus is taking its toll on everyone in more ways than one, and in ways we’ve not even seen yet and have no way to predict. Keep looking up though! And make sure you belong to Jesus Christ . Amen!

We should know by now, in Canada people who work get nothing for free, anybody else, gets money thrown to them gleefully by the government. What a mess.

What a goddamned joke of a government. Trudeau cares not one iota about the safety of Canadians. He cares about nothing more than getting these people in to vote for him.

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.

Due to too many unhappy citizens of many lands, most productive, constructive countries are over- flooding with other nations peoples. It’s too much. When a person goes somewhere other than their own land less and less of these countries are willing to allow any more refugees in their country. Why because it’s about economics. In economic in an economy all things must be paid for. This is an Democratic society, almost all things are available through businesses. The medium of exchange for all ‘goods and services ‘ are conducted through the means of money. The masses of our nations people are not wealthy. Which most indulge themselves in employment. Employment in exchange for hours of pay we get paid.!The person most quailed to be employed are the citizens of these nations and not other nations people. What I am saying is that each land is more interested in their own home grown employee. So when you the non resident come without our permission you are the one placing yourself and your family in peril. Which means you are responsible for the pain and losses you suffer do to you either misunderstandings or non-available knowledge. Work towards asking for a better government for your own home land. And less people will be disappointed when you are rejected from lands who are already too filled !

When there is no fear of ever getting caught this is the screwing the good people get.\nALL Western Govts act STUPID but they are not. They are lazy and corrupt.\nThese people wouldtn't dare do this kind of stuff in Asia or the Middle East.

I’ve never been getting racism but I’ve seen people go threw it and it just hurts my soul to see that there’s people like that in the world

There is truth in all of it how do you think it gets started. Stop telling people there thinking wrong.

It is very difficult to enter in CANADA. But why this chinese people are easily get visa in canada? Hocus-pocus.

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

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.

Minoritys do steal alot well they get caught more maybe becuase they are dummer. All this shows me is people prefer being around there own people . Diversity is not a strength.

The problem is NOT color, it's CULTURE. In Mexico, Mexican landlords would rather rent to Americans and Canadians than to other Mexicans, their waiters would rather wait on foreigners, and their cabbies will turn down five locals in hopes of getting a gringo passenger. Profiling is based on the accuracy of the statistical probability of incidence. Instead of being offended, be realistic. People have every right (and reason) to be reserved or suspicious for whatever reason they choose. Prove them wrong (without whining and/or rioting) if you want it to stop.

There is no such thing as Islamophobia you can be a serial killer and invade a country and claime that people are afraid of you because of a phobia. Fuck I hope they get out of America

Wtf so there's people like me who work their butts off to go through the legal immigration system and do everything by the book to get Permanent Residence and eventually citizenship, meanwhile these people are getting through without issue, but not even wanting it? Ffs...

I’m Mexican and I always get followed or old people be talking bad about me too??‍♂️

Walmart is the worst for this!!!!!!!! I get followed by creepy people all the time. Super annoying leave me alone!

I find that the majority of the Muslim people who have been brought to Canada. Are very rude to Canadians, and seem to want to change Canada into their controlling and abusive ways. I think it's disgusting that they can come here, and try to change our system and take advantage of Canada's services. We need to stop these people from coming to Canada, as they've proven already, that they are not willing to conform to our Canadian way of life! If you don't like it, get out of Canada!!!

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?

You don't see any other nationality's how are Muslim doing this it's always the south Asian when are these Indians in denial going to get it the Muslim world doesn't like you the middle-east laughs at you and hates you at the same time taking are religion and doing what you want with it the middle east knows that you ancestors were Indians and you put to shame your own people i mean look in the mirror and look underneath that beard and see that you look like a Indian wake up.

Hey Igor thank you for helping people to understand what is going on about immigration process , but one Thing that I wanna say is the job offer is something impossible to get it from outside of Canada those Websites that you shared with us for finding jobs Is useless I'm sorry to say that because when you click on information about jobs it tell if you're not in Canada the owner will not response your request so that the whole process will be useless !!

All people in videos saying Labour shortage, manpower need in Canada. Last 1 year more i am trying to get job offer but no response. This required condition is very hardest thing ever. Totally bull shit condition.

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

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.

as for the niqab test unfortunately it resembles a bandana and people wearing bandana's already have a bad enough reputation in today's world so it doesn't really help the situation im not so sure its a racial thing but just a stereotype of someone covering their face being a bad person like try the same thing but as a caucasian with a bandana over your face you'll end up getting similar results

If it’s not “one thing”, it’s a “different thing”; most people in my socioeconomic position gets uncomfortable treatment in many situations. Personally, I’ve been a target for guys (of all ages & job status, married or not, a bum or not), to “hit on me”, ALL my life & I wasn’t taught ways to deal with this. It sounds “petty” to some people or maybe “flattering”, but actually, when it comes from anyone & everyone, it’s NOT nice! And there’s no one I can “sue”. There’s not even a place where I can get “help” & guidance. \nIm certainly glad I made it a priority, with my daughters, to explain, advise & guide them about how to deal with their level of attractiveness. ???????????

Everyone has been followed in a store. That is the job of the people hired by the store. It’s just most people don’t look for it. Let’s get real.

Psychology student here. In the interest of accurate information, I would like to point out some flaws I find with some of the studies in this documentary and question the conclusions reached. I understand that CBC Marketplace are not personality psychologists and therefore cannot be expected to produce the same quality of work as a scientist. However, I think it is worthwhile to think critically about the information in the media that we consume. I am also open to anyone who wants to engage in debating the contents of this documentary.\n\n\nThe following are some notes I took while watching the documentary outlining the individual hypotheses of the studies I think are flawed and descriptions of their respective accompanying errors. \n\n\nThere are three possible research questions, and thereby dependent variables, being answered by the apartment hunting studies.\n1. If there is no discrimination between the white man and the first-nations man, then they should get equal treatment, including quotes and availability, when apartment hunting. \na. Could the gender of the landlord be a confounding variable (perhaps men are more discriminatory than women)? \n \n2. If there is no discrimination between the white man and the first-nations man between Toronto, Montreal, Regina, and Victoria, then they should get equal treatment, including quotes and availability, when apartment hunting. \na. Could total apartments visited be a confounding variable? (4 in Toronto, 3 in Montreal, Regina, and Victoria) \nb. Could the gender of the landlord be a confounding variable (perhaps men are more discriminatory than women)? \nc. They only showed the black man apartment hunting in some of the trials. I am considering him out of the study for consistency purposes. The first-nations man is the only one who got unfair treatment in the footage of apartment hunting. \n \n3. Possible hypothesis: If male landlords/agents are more discriminatory than female landlords/agents, then the white man and the first-nations man will get different treatment at different Canadian apartments in equally diverse cities. \na. Don’t know all the information about the genders of the landlords/agents, not all the footage is shown, but the ones where they get ripped off are male. The others shown are female. The remaining interactions are not shown.\n\n\nThere are also some factors that may have influenced the racial bias survey and, in my estimation, rendered it scientifically unreliable.\n\n\n1. The bias survey and accompanying tests at the CBC attributed the differences between the studies to unconscious racism. What if it was just due to familiarity with certain racial groups over others? \na. The black participants had no bias between European-American and African Americans, supposedly indicating no racism, while the white and first-nations participants did, supposedly indicating racism. Is it possible that another interpretation of this result is that bias is a function of familiarity: that we are comfortable with the majority demographic in the geographical location we live in, as well as our own kind. Therefore, the black guys are less biased against black people due to being both black and living in a white majority demographic? \nb. The participants took the survey knowing the objectives of the researchers was to study racial discrimination. They might have influenced the answers they gave \nc. Whether the participants agreed with identity politics or not was a confounding factor that was not controlled . You can only be racially unbiased biased if you think that racial identity is a means of accurately viewing the world. People who do not believe in the existence of identity politics may answer the questions quite differently, which could be a different reason for the results.\nd. I took the study myself. The words that participants were required to match were a mix of adjectives and nouns. It is known within psychology that nouns have higher levels of imagery. This was not properly controlled and therefore is another confounding variable. \n \nAll the other studies looked fine to me. I welcome any discussion on my observations.

In surrey BC Sikh people are most respected and get first dibs on jobs etc... White People are the minority and are treated like ghosts

Do we take the white guy to minority areas & see what happens? We already know that people get treated/ profiled against in Canada/America/ Mexico
