TRUE STORY : first time i went to Costco, i was ignored and rude to. Finally, i asked why am i being ignored? He apologized and offer to assist me. I told him I'm interested in on a membership and the city credit card. He bluntly told me, he doesn't think I'll get approve for the credit card. I asked why? He said because nobody ever does. I replied, i am not a NOBODY! He said please be quiet and complete my application profile. He did just so. He was genuinely shocked, when i got an instant $4k approval. He apologized again and asked politely what my credit score was. I told him 797 with an 7% debt to racial. He started kissing my butt to the point i felt even more uncomfortable because the love was growing beside me. I HATE BEING PROFILE. I'm going to make a couple youtube video to go to a few of my experiences

TO ALL THE PARENTS KINDLY LOVE YOUR KIDS, BE A GOOD EXAMPLE & TEACH THEM WELL. BECAUSE THEY'LL LOOK UNEDUCATED IF THEY BEHAVE LIKE THAT.. IT'S 2020. I'M NOT BLACK ETC. BUT THIS RACISM ISSUE IS SOOO OLD & IT'S SIMPLY REFLECTS HOW UNEDUCATED A COUNTRY IS.. DO YOU HAVE SCHOOLS FROM YOUR COUNTRY?

I'm a muslim and I'll never allow sharia law here because this is not a muslim country at the end of the day\n\nEven tho i like it

2:49 - 3:06 unless you understand the magnitude of what's just been said, you'll never understand the Canadian reality ?\nI love this country, that's why I'm saying that. I just love myself more, and that's why I end up doing whatever I'm doing

I'll tell you what here in America the way I dress because just the way I was brought up I'm followed here in Philadelphia they don't care everybody here they think is a scumbag

I would have told that store sure I'll open my bag but if you are wrong I'm suing you establishment...

I love sikh. I'm Muslim. I'll help sikh brother and sister at any time.

All Best Buy’s do that. Even in the state of Texas, to a old white guy like me. \nI find it annoying, but only due to the fact that I know to ask someone if I need it. If I don’t ask, let me shop. \nIf you’re on the move, they’ll leave you alone. If I’m in the store with the wife, and we split up, I’m just browsing to burn time.\nThat’s when I get offered multiple “May I help you”? \nSo yeah, corporate policy, which that “expert” knows nothing about, yet they say he verifies the “profiling” when he says “it’s possible”.

It's everywhere!! Sometimes when I'm being followed in a store I'll ask security to help carry my items. They don't like that. I'm not a thief and I don't like being followed, so if you want to follow me then help!\nDirty jokes, police brutality, accusations and more. I'm expected to except it, well I don't. If it were done to them they would feel the same way I do. Here's the thing, I'm bi-racial (2/5 white). On applications they cross that out and mark black. That's a lie and makes me look untruthful. It's everywhere and needs to stop. Their fear makes everything elevated to levels that should not be in the twenty-first century. It's out-dated and really makes the person doing it out-dated and living in the past.

I see my son get treated very bad .\nBusiness people at the bank\n treated him horrible and he was trying to get help.\n\n basically jerked him around and I'd like to . Tell you he was a not a\n African-American\n . well we R M.I.H MY SON & I . for \n\n\n I don't like that\n they did it at the bank \nthey did at the\n grocery store get it LOT OF places oh I know where it was at I couldn't think it was at CVS . Pharmacy\n and then I told on them.\n I told my doctor they treated my son and .I. CVS would not let me have my medicine my doctor give them a phone call and he was upset he EAT him up and spit him out \nbecause I have diabetes \ndon't.

I'll never feel jealous of white people, because they don't get discriminated against, they hated Jesus. Rejoice in insults, and persecution, for my power is made in perfect weakness. The meek with inherit the Earth, I'm just waiting for thy kingdom come thy will be done :)

Those people better back home and co.fro the their own problm I'm the country they came from and not make scare other people for their ideology and stuped religions,they are not body to tell us how to wear other wonder they going good to heaven dressing like .momias. if they lived from he'll already with their stuped ideology

They KNOW they'll get away with it.. I see how they do business here.. Some of them are very brazen.. And authorities allow it to happen.. If their just looking for a better life for their families, i totally understand their desperation, & I'm all for helping families that want a better life for their kids. But some of them have ulterior motives, & we need to establish their true motives.. To wreak havoc on our housing market, to solicit terrorism on our soil of ANY kind, should NEVER BE TOLERATED.. To be caught being violent, socializing with known terrorists, should warrant IMMEDIATE DEPORTATION!!! A man comes here as an immigrant, & becomes violent, should be sent back, and a child in need (& a chance at a better life), can have his spot.. Same with their teenager's.. You're not coming here to start gangs.. You're here because you wanted to get away from that nonsense.. Don't start that ish over here..

I pray for these Families that are fleeing the oppression and violence of their home land.. These are the people I hope receive the chance at a better life.. No decent human being could hear a mother plea for her children, & not feel it in your heart, great compassion!! At the same time, Canada is not all lollipops and rainbows.. I'm a former crown ward and now first hand, that not everybody here is sweet and kind.. They can have a more passive aggressive way of screwing a person over.. You may deal with 2faced people.. That seem like a friend, but aren't really hoping for the best for you.. Some of them enjoy asserting their authority over you! You have to pray you'll have decent people working on your case.. It'll be the luck of the draw,, rather than rhyme or reasoning, that grants or denies them..

Hey, you dont like it, you know where the border is........ personally I'm sick and tired of being exhausted working to pay taxes which once upon a time went to my welfare and medical care, now our hospitals are weighed down by people like him and his mooching family mooches all of them. I want them out. They can apply legally. Trudeau may have you all thinking your welcome. No your not. People who have applied legally, been vetted and have something to offer are being kept waiting while the moochers are walking over the border. GET OUT. Soon we'll have an election and I guarantee the one who wins will be the one who stops this abuse of our system and our tax dollars........... and thats not Trudeau

As a Canadian I'm ashamed for wat he's doing when some of us r fukin suffering , yet I'll get these ppl in our country and give them places and schooling n all this shit ...

Trudeau's doing a fine job.\n\nMy country stepped up when you Americans closed your borders and hearts to the rest of the world. \n\nThe extra taxes and shitty housing market I'm enduring? I'll take it, knowing that America had a hand in it too. \n\nYou people, for all your religion, are ridiculously un-Christian.

I'm in Canada and I'll tell you right now here in Toronto I seen a refugee standing in the middle of traffic at the lights holding a sign saying she was a refugee and asking for money and she was in better clothes than I was.. now I find out they are getting to live at hotels?! Wtf man..

Oh great, I'll head north into Canada and pretend I'm an illegal immigrant and get free housing along with other benefits. Let's PARTY!

SWEET, I needed a vacation. I'll see you all up there in a couple weeks. It's too hot and humid here in Iowa anyways. What are some things I should see or do while I'm up there? I was going to get a passport but I see I don't need one! Those free hotel rooms better be immaculate or I'm suing!

I'm about done with racist shits. I don't think God will accept racist people in heaven so good luck. Maybe see you in hell. ?. Can't wait till the world ends so I can see y'all get tortured for eternity. I wouldn't even mind my own torment. I'll feel peace in my cold heart to see racists get tormented.

Last summer I was followed around a PetSmart by staff for the entire 10 minutes I was in there before I was so uncomfortable that I left. I work in retail. I know what they were doing. I'm a white woman. I can't imagine what it must be like to have this happen almost regularly. At my store, I try my best to treat everyone the same, regardless of what they look like. Unless you are rude to me. Then I'll give it right back to you.

I'll lay it out for you: Me: typical middle of the road liberal oriented Canadian. Non white, immigrant (I wasnt born here) I worked in a Refugee housing for over 4 years in Ontario. Most were not war areas refugees (Yes I know there are other types of refugees). I only encountered few refugees from war areas. ONLY 1 person from Iraq, about 2 families were from Afghanistan, 1 couple from Pakistan(I doubt they were real refugees they spoke fluent English, maybe political refugee), and a most from African countries. Its too far for real refugees to get here. Its Easier for them to go to other countries nearby or Europe. MOST SEEM TO BE ECONOMIC REFUGEES. Most were coming from Africa. Some are coming from Latin America, which shouldn't be happening. Once they showed up at our doorstep and we processed them into the system, they were immediately in the same class as a Canadian resident homeless person if they were making a refugee claim. We get money to house and feed them (from the government), and they are given a stipend for basics from the government processed through the Social Assistance/ Welfare system (they get less than a resident/citizen I think.). They then have to get their case processed by the refugee board, and most seem to get in. I've only heard of few getting sent back. One person I know at our facility, was given a subsided social housing apartment after a year in our facility. So they went straight from a shelter to a government/city owned subsidized apartment. (Didn't seem like it was a issue for the housing worker...they didn't report it (if they were not the ones that helped the person to get it), they were white, the housed person was Latin. This refugee claimant, and then month or two new Canadian resident person was given an apartment in a prime area of the city, instead of the 1000's of Canadians, those who came before them, and born Canadian citizens on an extremely long waiting list. How this was allowed to happen I don't know. The person was probably sucking on someone's straw. I'm just trying to think the barriers these people have to go through to get a job here. We are far removed from the time of the 80's and 90's., and housing and jobs are so hard to get. Lol the "Canadian government asks them to repay the traveling cost to Canada if they are sent back"....I wonder how much the government recoups?.....more like 0 probably. What a bunch of crap. How do you demand someone to repay their flight cost when they get back to their country?

this happens to me alot XD it's funny that they thought i'm a shop lifter because of my long hair then in the end i'm carrying a huge full pack of groceries lol.\nedit* they'll follow you in every corner of the shop.

I'm the whitest dude ever and get followed ALL THE TIME in stores. Likewise, the fact that they actually came out with the Implicit Association Test made this show lose all validity. Multiple takes of the test can yield different results, and as you take the test, you actually get better at not making mistakes. It actually forces you to make mistakes on the black faces. Take one, you'll see. Likewise, statistics exist. Mark is in fact more likely to steal than Rory. We're confusing overt racism with unfortunate group statistics. Also, Muslim isn't a race, but it is an inherently political ideology... Why are you guys so dishonest?

I'm black Canadian... Of course I would never say racism doesn't exist in Canada... But the Canada that they are describing is foreign to me... Where as As soon as I cross the brother to the state I get racially profile... By the time I get to New York City I'll get stop 3 times on average... So... Again not sure which Canada they are describing...otd a different time now...

If we're not careful, we'll all get sucked down into the hell hole of a pious, Islamist paranoia where Sharia is the order of the day. I'm not making this up.

I have a rich multimillionaire Indian guy who owes me $650 for work I've done for his business, will CBC cover my story? or he'll get a pass cause he's brown and I'm white?

i'm just waiting for anyone else to talk shit.. oh damn.. what i have waiting for you.. just please say something else so you could see what i'mma do to you.. ya'll are like little ants to me LMAO this shit is too easy.

you are obviously too stupid or ignorant to understand the point i'm trying to make (or to understand a lot of things it seems!) so nevermind, hopefully one day you'll get it!

I'm no fan of Islam but to be fair the report does clearly say that the majority of the Islamic community are condemning this small number of people who are doing this. Perhaps worth taking that into consideration before we all get worked up into a frenzy about Islam taking over the world. Obviously Islam is trying to take over the world but it'll take more than a few nutters on the street harassing gay people for it to succeed.

No I have every right to be here. I'm a UK citizen my friend. You can not stop that, if you don't like me & my brothers being here. Then MAYBE it should be you WHO GOES. The country has room for improvement, and sharia law will help this.\n\nPeace -\n (p.s. prostitution is an evil act so there must be a punishment for this evilness - If it still occurs... that's sad, but at least I'll be able to sleep knowing something is being DONE about it my friend)
