Before I moved to Brampton, I had no idea HOW MANY Indians actually lived here. I'm of south Asian descent but I grew up here as a Canadian. I still keep my culture but I'm Canadian FIRST. It's true too, some of them don't believe in deodorant, holy shit I literally had to tell a guy who sat beside me on the bus that he smelled. I know it was rude but if someone doesn't tell these people, they will think not wearing deodorant is normal. I miss the Canada I grew up in. My friends were mostly white but there was a nice mix of us: white, black, asian so we all got along. Today, everyone is in their own groups, strangers are the enemy, there is so much more segregation than there has ever been. Not long ago at a Tim Hortons I heard an Indian guy who was clearly new to the country telling his friend he didn't have to learn English because everyone in Brampton speaks Punjabi, it was insulting hearing that.....Listen up Indians and any immigrants coming here: BEFORE you come here, learn English, LEARN the customs and learn the CANADIAN WAY. You owe it to Canada, give something back before you start taking.

I like racism. Blacks SHOULD like blacks best. Whites should like whites best. Blue birds don’t EVER hang out with red cardinals. It’s not natural! Racism will always exist. It’s natural to be attracted and prefer your own race. This is NOT wrong. Stop telling people to feel...unnatural.

So when did the video start? Can we pls watch the whole thing? I am not white but sometimes I understand the ftustruations of people who lived in a certain country for so long just to see their country being disrespected and changed by newbies.

The Best Buy situation doesn't fly with me, they are like sharks and just keep asking you if you need help or whatever... they want to sell you something. I think they are on commission.... so they are pushy. I'm a white guy and they watch me to see if I am going to buy something LOL

I bet Trudeau, like most left wing politicians, likely lives in a gated white community. They vote policies onto others, not themselves.

Im white and i have been profiled

There is racism on all sides.....condo owners in bc only talking Chinese.......Muslim apt owner would not rent to a white.....is not just poor immigrants..wake up!

Now do a segment on being white in Africa.

Buhuu, I'm white but have been followed in stores a few times just because I dressed shabby or something.

I'm a White woman who dresses well, caries herself well, and is well spoken. I have been accused of trying to steal shoes when just trying them on, and followed in stores at various times in my life. Overall, I'd say I probably do get treated better in certain circumstances, but this doesn't only happen to people of color.

Whites are also profiled by immigrants

Obviously white people are more liked then other races.. that's common sense lol...

This is what you get when you play Immigration Bingo. He kept holding out for bigger and bigger handouts until he lost it all. I get the impression there is more to the story than what we're hearing, perhaps a criminal record or perhaps he is ungrateful and entitled, which (rightly) turns people off these days when things are tough all over. Being white and living in North America doesn't guarantee us anything. Where do immigrants get this entitled attitude? Talking to lawyers? Gulping the PC Koolaid?

Fucking disgraceful.go back to where you come from.way to much of this shit coming in this country.as a white family we are now a minority.the government doesn't speak for me when they allow these to come here

The Best Buy one is b*******, I'm as white as can be and they do the same thing to me. It's their job, they're trying to sell you s***.

Mam I really like your white shorts. You look pretty. I love you now.

They have freedom whites have rules and regulation.

It's a lie! I am white and I have been followed many times by security in stores. I have also been called names by natives. Standing in line at the grocery store a native was getting mad and making comments to his family because I have blue eyes. I guess they really hate the blue eyed white boys.

There's some BS here. Bias is not the same that racism. You are white, your mam is white, your dady is white and... magic! You prefer the white to the polinesians. To say that this is racism it's not honest.

Oh whatever, whites get the same treatment. It’s not just you jeeze!

Anti women or not it doesn’t belong in white mans country

I don’t care if it’s anti women it’s not western culture and it doesn’t belong in white country’s

Bad things happen to people who break the law. He knew the score and took that chance. They think they will come to the states or Canada thinking they will get paid with welfare and free medical. Why can't they stay in their own country and make it better. They want to live off white people like whites owe them. They're wrong. Send him and his family back to El Salvador. He wants to live in a white country that speaks English & French but don't teach his kids or himself English or French. How pathetic.

I've been followed by security in a grocery store, im white

An American news reporter says Canada's Prime Minister is a buffoon..... why don't you look at your own white house before bringing canada into your shit hole of a mess

haha black fearing white.

People migrate because they hate India and want to live a lavish life. But, unfortunately they are least bothered about changing india. A person who goes and likes other country flag and anthem cannot be a citizen of country of origin. They will lick white testicles to live in Canada.

I have a better idea. Put all illegals and refugees in Jihad Justin's house, and let him and all liberal voters pay for their stay. \nDiversity means white genocide!

Sick of hearing stories like that, I understand the fact that she doesn't represent any Canadian, ( including herself since she was drunk and said sorry later) but still annoying. My concern is the other Canadians, Individual haters always exist but stop those individuals up to other Canadians. Easy to tag muslims as *terrorist or *isis or easy to tag white people as *racist or *hater. As a community we should be able to stop those behaviors even before it starts , then we can be a strong community and live in a harmony .

A Walmart worker told me that the manager told her to watch black people. But she said the white people are the ones who were stealing

Call me prejudiced, but I still go for the white Scots man. And I'm not exactly white.

I am a white male and i have just converted to Islam.

Thanks to Canadian people for welcoming us with open hands. All white people and other communities are great. I was never racially abused in Canada in the past 5 years. I have made many white friends and all of them are so nice. Thanks folks.

Bash this idiot (my pm so gogogogo!) as much as you can. Ty ty ty! We cannot do anything! My god..aweful. and now bringing in white helmets in as fakefugees

can I go? I'm a white American but I hate being hot.\nI need asylum from the heat

You know best buy are awful!! Im white and I feel like im being stalked in there.\nSo I think thats just there creepy sales tactics!\nIve even thought of talking to a manager about this!!

Asking white people of there's racism is so pointless

I've been followed in stores & I'm white. The video is somewhat misleading. They want people to think whites can't be discriminated against. Sometimes stores just think you might steal, regardless of race. I worked at Food City & one of the managers accused me of stealing a drink I brought with me when I got there. I had just gotten to work & had my drink with me. I've also been mistaken by cops for someone else. And I'm a white man. Don't tell me only non-whites can be discriminated against! This video is ridiculous!

they speak Arabic? thay ate not canadian. they don't look like Canadian. canadian is a white boy with blue eyes----- blue eyes canadian

this is what happens when you have people who don't look white living in Canada.

You white lady you are not canadian. Ask the red? go back to garbage europe.

The problem goes both ways. While whites should respect the multi cultural society that being respected for decades, minorities should not self isolate them. Then again, if you are in Rome do as Romans do. \nThis problem arises with just one religion-Islam. What happens in middle east against minorities is a catalyst to this fear.

Could you imagine working with this woman? Yea, racism doesn't exist according to some white people.

How would whites like it if there were treated like that in all of the non white countries they are in? That would be interesting eh?

White people need to understand that they're not more or better then others, the white race of people is the most hateful people on earth, it is true they do have some good people in there race, but it's the bad people in that race that makes other race's hate them,whites seem to FORGET that other race's do play a part in the success of the United States of America

So in other words it's always the white people's fault. ....

I bet if a white person was wearing one they'd be dealt with.

I live in Houston Texas. People often say that Mexicans take jobs that no one else will do. That may have been true at some point but now that we are overwhelmed by the illegal immigrants every business only hires Mexicans that speak perfect Spanish and not so perfect English. So blacks, whites and other cultures are stuck! If I wanted to live in Mexico I would move there and learn their language why do they refuse to learn ours? I love every Mexican that I have met. I also love water but I do not want to be dropped into the middle of the ocean. There are at least 350 languages spoken in America why are we bending over backwards 2 make our country bilingual to Spanish and not all the other languages?

Ya but what started it? How was she triggered? Those guys probably instigated it and were being goofs! Oh right....automatically a white person is in the wrong! Because of her opinion.

so what exactly is the problem? there are laws in canada - no you can't just walk in a stay and get benefits. if there is misinformation in the community migrating north, then who is at fault? if anyone from any country, regardless of race, creed, religion, sexual orientation - anything - thinks they can just go to another country with no strings attached they're crazy. I get the feeling this is meant to look like a racist issue - it's not. if you're white as snow, speak english and carry a bible, the rules are the same - you come legally, and go through all the paperwork and checks that are required.
