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.

Try renting a single room in a house these days (2020), lots and lots of prejudice just in the ads themselves....

Damn, girl collecting for Syrian refugees has a set of nuggets on her. Lots of crazy people out here. God bless all people of compassion and love, religion aside.

As a former best buy employee for 3 years, I can confirm they enforce a 10 foot 10 second rule. If a customer is withing 10 feet of you, you have 10 seconds to greet and share your name with the customer. This is two fold- yes, to help reduce shoplifting, but also to encourage sales. This is something I share and reference with my sales team in a different setting now, however, I can confirm as an experienced sales person, the technique works to achieve both outcomes. It's super sad to see it being used for the wrong purpose in this clip. I think it shows a lot of racial bias. I'm curious what ethnicities the employees were that approached each shopper.

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

The couple that standed to defend her made me emotional. I am from ??. A lot of racism here as well.

Charleston South Carolina Save-A-Lot is very racially motivated

For the shopping experience, they have the guys go in carrying hand bags. That's going to get their attention since shoplifters could easily put things into the bags and most people don't bring computer bags, hand bags etc when they shop.\n\nI've had instances where people were awful to me for no apparent reason (I'm white), and it struck me that if i was black, I would attribute the terrible treatment to racism since I couldn't think of any other reason for the bad treatment. \n\nAnother form of racism not covered here is the racism of low expectations. If people assume that you are too dumb to understand something or too poor to afford something, that's wrong. Same holds true for treating women as if they won't understand. Usually this behavior is done, not by bad people, but by people who just haven't had a lot of interactions with different people of different races. So they haven't had the chance to have those stereotypes personally disproven.

And also one of the most expensive countries to travel and lodging. So might never travel here, will lose lots of hard earned money.

Canada will have a lot of gangs you will see

I get asked if i need help in stores a lot. I usually take em up on it. Even for really trivial things. That'll show em.

That happened to me at Shoppers Drug mart. I am Caucasian and spend a lot of money there. So upsetting.

if you live in a population where your a minority it's a porblem lots of racism here in cambrige,on

Eh, it's not too cold in a lot of BC and their accents are practically the same as ours just across the line in Washington state.

How about 1st - Military, US has the best in the world, Canada... not even close, 2nd - Taxes, Canadians pays LOTS of taxes way more then Americans, 3rd - Terrorism, the US eliminate Terrorist leaders to make themselves and the world a safer place, Canada welcomes Terrorists with open arms putting Canadians and Americans in danger.

Real racism is proven in the workplace around here, sadly especially if it’s a high paying job, they feel like you don’t deserve to be there or have that pay grade... envy & extreme haterism...no common sense to just let ppl be and provide for there families in peace lots of circumstantial mental anguish when in such a toxic work setting, then coupled with having enough mental energy left to do your job adequately...smh

The white guy they used in these test is a lot more socialable looking than I am and I am sure I would get the same treated I am even being white.\nI also worked for best buy and was told to ask people if there was something I could help them with if they look suspicious and standing in one place by a shelf is just one of those things. That is just common practice.

mashallah, the sikh community has a lot for us to learn

Is it true that a us dollars is worth a lot in Canadian currency

I got asked if I was babysitting my own daughter. Because I have a way darker complexion than her. She looks like she can be European (her dads a lot lighter ofc but he’s Mexican and so am I).

The moron reporter....racism doesnt come my way a lot ???Sheep mindset....the media and liberal elite brainwash non white people to utterly hate you, in 2020 you live racism everyday dude hahahaha

Get rid of a lot of racism easy - get rid of religion. Religion is a big barrier to integration.

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.

Canada is the world's 2nd Largest and the US is the 3rd Largest With enormous size comes lots of national parks and stunning natural beauty

racism is a virus probably either worse than COVID-19 or as bad as COVID-19!!\nAnd for me unfortunately may be for a Canadian fortunately Canada get this VIrus which will be a lot more difficult to get rid of than COVID-19....\nPROBABLY WILL NOT EVEN BE POSSIBLE .....

simply making a lot of money out of those chinese people...

There is a lot of bad people in all races. We can't generalize. We must use good judgment \nThat's all.

nice video bro , you gave us lots of information , please make these kind of video who wants to come for education in canada and how to get job in canada while doing study . Thank you bhai

Gun culture & violence in the us, we don't have guns in Canada and we have lot less violence/crimes.

I m Muslim i loves sikh a lot i mean they r great people

Right now iam living in India i wish I would move on to Canada because they have lot of facility and govt functions well. I wish if it happens in future ?.

So it takes me 2 years lots of blood sweat a masters degree a accountancy degree a interview with the immigration officer thousand if miles away than legally entering canada and than these people!!!!!!

Canada is freezing a lot in the winter but the spring and summers are gorgeous, not cold year round.

Canada has always seemed to me to be a lot of the same of what's here in America. And from the pictures I've seeing it looks a lot like any town in the US. Make their big cities look similar to the big cities we have here in America.

I've been to eastern Canada. The Rock [Newfoundland] I found to be an interesting place. Lots of history...you've maybe been there? Friendliest people in Canada they say. Bring an appetite!

Another Difference: USA has a lot of Blacks and african culture is huge in USA. USA has more Blacks than all Canadas population.

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.

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

There’s really only 3 big cities in Canada, Toronto Montreal and Vancouver. Which are completely different than all of Canada. Toronto is very similar to London England. Whereas Montreal is really similar to Paris. Not so much in architecture, but in terms of people, life, style, slang. Lots of people in Toronto listen to toronto artist and UK artist as well whereas Montreal residents listen to their Montreal artist and French artist from France. Most of the similarities here are actually not like any American cities. America to us seems really “white” there’s not lot of diversity there either. Toronto is so diverse, People from literally everywhere its so nice to see. Our Prime Minister also a lot better looool

I agree with the video.\n\nBut there’s a lot of Canadians who would go nuts after seeing this video. In their view, the less Canada looks like the USA, the better it is.

America has a lot more highways than Canada

2:23 That comes from the UK. Canada retains a lot of British influence.

Actually , Canada is still close the Britain , to the Crown , USA is multi national countrie , there is not an american ethnicity , just a lot of mixture between blacks and hispanic and the largest european origin majoritiy , so in my opinion Canada should stay independent !

I know a lot of history about Canada,they are very much racist just like any other countries where the pink European people captured. It is nothing new more of the black people in Canada who is complaining about the the

I totally agree with you Lloyd Douglas and his column black in Canada. I find it to be swept under the carpet as far as racism is concerned, they smile in front of you but behind you they Stab you in the back .well the Americans is right up front I can work with you but I won’t socialize with you, at least you’re truthful.\n\n I find Canadians to be very two face , Hidden they true feeling and pretend a lot . I have experienced the first time in my life racism was within Canada and it brought me to tears. I live in America for so many years no one had ever call me the N word , I never felt so humiliated and lower my self-esteem. So when I was coming to this country they say it was multicultural but that don’t mean black. Even the so-called people they call them selves Brown consider black people as nothing but I am here to say we are something , we are the future , embrace us , celebrate us , and accept us.there are good people and bad people in every race. ?

Our prime minister lot of people don't know that he is from Pakistan his family is from there he wears a dress when he's in Canada mr. Trudeau

I lived all over the world. In Jamaica, I don't think I had a maid out of 15 of them over two years that didn't steal from me. From jewelry to cash, micro daily theft like 500g of rice at a time etc... In Shenzhen, China, i never had anything taken and I was not locking my door. That's just statistics at one point and experience. Never had a Chinese or Vietnamese being late on rents. I have a lot of other people default and leave in the middle of the night.

A lot of mixed race children,have the dual complexities abroad,but in African countries they are mostly cherished or revered ,especially the female.

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.

Thank you for videotaping this lot of people live in Canada got their head under the sand blind as a bat
