What kind of turban was the young student wearing? I've never seen a little / weird turban like that.

Most of the North Americans(US+Canada+Mexico) I've encountered in my life are blatantly racist towards Indians and the weird part is they call Indians racist!

Weird. The video is weak....

The tests with the three friends, I'm not saying the racism it exposed doesn't exist, but I'm curious if attractiveness or character plays a factor in this as well (or even more). Getting different rental prices is outrages. Being stalked in a store is just weird, but a couple of checks I wouldn't mind. If nothing ever happens that will stop. Being asked if you can be helped should not be an issue. Although I admit it can be annoying (I rather shop without interference), but as long as they ask politely, being offended by it is your own problem. As for the hiring part is this video, I believe there might be even more discrimination based on age. I like the idea of blind hiring when possible. Being rated on skills is in the best interest of any party. \n\nAs a society we're making good progress on a lot of levels. There is still ground to gain, but let's also celebrate what has already been achieved in the last couple of generations. Social media makes it look like it's only bad, but don't forget that bad news sells better than good news. And all companies (also news companies) want to make money.

The guy at 27:46 is weird. Very passive aggressive! He just threw the money like he was upset but also said it was for a good cause.

Awesome congrats on your PR ..my friend got his PR in less than a month its so weird how some files move so quick !!

Okay do I spell this weird and differently as a Canadian \n*free health care*

I have experienced security guards walking back and forth between the aisles staring at me in London and other parts of England, much more so than in the US. I am black, and the weird thing is that some of the security guards have been black and dark-skinned like me. I got tired of it, and now when it happens I wave to them and say hello. Sometimes, when I'm feeling especially brave and frustrated, and when they walk close to me, I ask them if they're watching me and tell them, 'Don't worry. I don't steal.' It's satisfying to see the embarrassed and uncomfortable looks on their faces.

those n@zis are looking very melanated and exotic these days. that evil short guy w/the weird mustache would not approve i reckon.

What I have noticed all my life living in Canada is Caucasians don't like hearing the truth about anything where they are feel they are being made to look like the villain, but the objective is not to make anyone feel like they're on trial but to start acknowledging that this is going on regardless of if you've ever experienced/seen it or not. The reason Caucasians don't see it is because of what they call White Privilege. Caucasians will never have to deal with the subtleties of racism that minorities face everyday because they will never be treated that way even in other countries they visit or live. Many Caucasians aren't aware that stereotyping is racism as you will notice them say the weirdest things and make really weird assumptions like calling a Korean woman Chinese or mistaking a Hindu or Sikh for someone Islamic, which you should never do. Cultural insensitivity happens here because many Caucasians don't care much to learn about another culture and because of this there's it's creating even more issues. The race problem is Canada is huge and people are trying to say that it isn't but in the coming years more and more evidence is going to come out to the point where it will be irrefutable and there will either be a reform or civil war.

There is discrimination here. I am from Latin American and it has been difficult to fit in this country but most importantly to find a job. I mean fit in because they look at me very weird. I don’t really feel part of the society here. As for work/job There are many companies that only want asian or only want white people. I think Canada should start asking companies to present how many black, Latino, Asian and white were hired.

Tim hortons is all over in the U.S. and for some reason my sons new girl friend from Canada had to come here to become an eye doctor Weird. Student visa I guess. And we took her for breakfast the other day at a Cracker Barrel restaurant and she never had a biscuit before. She loved them She said it was similar to some indigenous food but the biscuit was much better oh she tried the grits. It was fun she’s a good sport

Every shoppers drug Mart I've been to ever, always had a white woman at the comsetic section. There's plenty of other people who could do that job. Come on shoppers. Security follows me everywhere cause i'm Hispanic. I notice they stop hovering me if I am very well spoken though. Weird observation?

White people are so weird to me...they live on land that they are not from..and always telling people to go back to there country...they even in africa... discriminating against africans...they are in Australia treating the natives bad also...I just dont understand

I have witnessed 1 instance of racism in the states in 10 years living here, and the weird part is that it was from a Mexican guy toward a black guy.

Canada's political system is kinda weird. Parties are more on tiers with\nConservative and Liberal\nNDP and Bloc Quebecois\nGreen\nCHP, Libertarian and other fringe parties who don't have any seats

I know this seems weird, coming from Europe, but I absolutely love North American food culture (Mexico, Canada and U.S.A). Firstly they all drink A LOT of cola and although their food is unhealthy it just taste soooo good? I’ve only eaten American food outside of America and I have never been there, but I hope I can come someday and try some of the fast food restauarants we don’t have here like Wendys or Taco Bell.

Weird The moniker of African American. Doesn't apply in Canada...

Very weird how you can twist reality for a job

As a black person I just shop online cause I'm tired of these weird people. Last time I went in the store I told em, you look at me like I don't know I'm black. I know exactly what I look like and you think I'm going to steal. Smh

We have a clown for a president he wears a dress... Sometimes he wears a weird hat. He's a character. I'll tell you.

This is BS! Send nice dressed black guy to look for apartment and white guy just plain looking I bet black guy will be offered apartment first! I dated black girl and black guys always gave me weird look but when they date white girls it is ok! There's racism on all sides!! I respects all races and good people!!

I took the test, i actually prefer blacks over whites which I found weird. I'm multiracial (Asian/white)

My 8 year old just asked me why I'm watching a video about ladies private parts... ~.- \n\nApparently the name of this city is confusing for small children and it got me a very weird look from my wife when she heard my daughter's question..\n\nEdit: It was when they were filming in the city named Virgina or whatever it was.

I am suspicious of the black guys had no preference on the test ??‍♀️. It’s kinda weird ?

Can we just stop saying Virgina, it's Virginia. Just sounds weird.

Weird. I'm WHITE, I live in Ottawa, and I have been attempting to get an apartment for years. I cannot get one. If it wasn't for friends, I'd be homeless. Yes, I have a job.

Islam is weird and creepy, we don’t need it in the west, we have our own problems. Good for Quebec for keeping their own ways.

I dont hate Muslims, but I do find several of them weird. Who the hell wears face veil? Apart from the hijab ...

Wearing a burqa is just weird, imagine the world not knowing what a person looks like. Why did god make a face for women if eventually he wanted it covered ?

I live in Canada and things are getting weird

It is NOT just race. Depending on the bag or backpack you carry, you get followed, which I hate. And I'm not black. My mother also gets followed everywhere in every Macy's store. It drives me crazy. It's really annoying, because I think it's because my mom has big purses and I usually have my art backpack. \n\nWhen I'm in a different town, I get followed in Walmart all the time. If I forget my shopping bags, I will empty my backpack so I can use that to put all my items in at the end of the purchase.\n\n In Best Buy, I'm lucky to get anyone to help me at all!!! I have to hunt someone down, and most of the time, they don't know anything anyway. Target: I have a hard time finding anyone to help me as well. I haven't really done a social experiment, but sometimes I just have my shopping bags and fill them as I shop and I won't carry a purse.\n\nLocally, I don't get followed because my family and me are known in that town. We know a lot of people and my face is everywhere. I never get followed. But out of town Walmart, I get followed in certain stores. It irritates me immensely, especially since I buy a lot of make up and the make up department is cramped they way they block the end of the aisles. It makes it really hard to turn your cart around when other people are in the same aisle. Then they close the make up aisle even though they have tons of cameras all over!! \n\nOverall, I don't know WHERE these backhanded compliments are coming from. I normally hear stuff about my weight. Nothing about race ever. Nor do I ever hear others talking about race. Weight seems to be the hot topic always.\n\nI also find it weird that the one guy feels like he needs to apologize!

Moving to Vancouver was a great experience tbh, I'm of nigerian heritage but was born in Finchley, North London...\nCanadians are friendly and extremely welcoming ( Coming from the UK i found this so off-putting ) lol. Ironically its non-white Canadians i had funny experiences with.... from dating to renting its weird\n\n\nAsians under 27 always asking some crazy questions ( Are you an NBA player ) lol it's cute at first but after a while when little koreans walk up to me talking about ( You look like will smith ) it makes you think... To be fair these are not inherent negatives, But asian canadians alone did treat me weird i found, Indian girls i met all wanted to be with me but where also very ashamed to say so or let their family know, but thats a cultural thing so i understood.\n\n\n Of all the demographics White canadian and native men where the most welcoming and open to me, in my experience.. White women of-course where cool too but that does not really count, especially as a good looking black guy with an accent LOOL you know how that goes!! My Tinder and Bumble were obscene LMAO\n\nRenting from asians while black and Male!? is almost impossible!!! Except they think you have rich parents!! Its impossible in Van unless you are an Arab exchange student lol \nArab and Persian students studying english have no issues renting in Vancouver, for some reason!!\n\nI lived out the St. Regis downtown for a month, Looking for places to rent, i had seen so many places online and filled out applications but never got call backs, asides from 2 group showings i went to, i could not even set up a viewing with the apartment building i wanted... \n\nTill i met an african girl in school, and she told me something i found completely crazy.\nShe told me to make a new e-mail addy and to use my English name when i e-mail, then set up a viewing but to show up with a white friend preferably a girl and that if the owner is asian, i should look around, and offer to pay 6months upfront before they get a chance to ask what i did for work or whether i was a student or not LOL. Needless to say, i did what she said and It worked the asian lady asked me to come get the keys later that day. Its just life, as a property owner they really just wanna size you up, not fair and kind of pathetic but its not inherently evil...

So weird, where do stereotypes come from?

Same everywhere. Why do muslim Asians choose to live in Western societies. Is this a Muslim Brotherhood take over of the West? What is going on? This is just too weird to let it go by. We are being duped. If ISIS is defeated isn't it time refugees went home? Otherwise it is colonization by sneaky methods. True or false?

Yea, but the immigrant ( all races) kids get far better grades in school, and that generation pays 30% tax every year of their 100k salary... They're the ones that gonna take this country into next century of technologically advanced world. Issue with economy starts with the family. If you have single parent family and social issues.. kids aren't gonna make it in this highly competitive world. Please go to Google, facebook, Microsoft. .. you'll see immigrants left right and centre. Lets face the facts, immigrant mentality is what builds a proper county. First generation immigrants are lost and weird and seems odd, second generation is the cream of the crop . Third slows down then 4th is basically are the ones complaining about the first generation. Solution is to use these people and figure out how they will help this county in the next 30 years, not tomorrow. Look at how Irish, Ukrainian, Chinese, Italian etc.. came as first gen immigrants (to this native land). Cold.. lost.. try to use their wits to survive in a colonial economy. That second generation built what we have now. Immigration is a god damn economical strategy man... Issue with homelessness, has nothing to do with immigration. Homelessness is related to addiction and mental health. Most immigrants don't suffer from homelessness because they have relatives that look after each other. 3rd generation+ Canadians (all races) lack that.. if you're 18 you are own your own, thats where that issue is with homelessness.

Hey, guess where a Muslim patrol just popped up? That’s right, New York! I guess that’s a weird coincidence, I’m sure they won’t try to enforce sharia law, taking freedom away from LGBT, women, and everyone who isn’t Muslim.

Import millions of Chinese and who would have thought Canada would become China. Weird.

This is fucked, I live in Brampton and it’s insane the amount of Indians are here I barley see any Blacks or Whites compared to them. Just walking into a Walmart I get stared down by every one that’s Indian. I hate that this video is directed towards Indians for them to move to Canada, NO stay in your country please I’m not racist just weirded out

Not saying Canada isn’t racist but it’s a far better place for minorities than American is matter of fact America is prob the most racist country in the Western Hemisphere but still has the most immigrants what a weird juxtaposition

It's especially weird that's she's not appologizing. We're Canadain. We always say sorry. Hell they had to pass a law that saying sorry is not an admission of guilt because we just naturally say it so often. (This is true. It's a law now. Look it up.)

you should show your face, i'm fine with a hijab but anything that totally covers your face like that i don't agree with. People can't identify you and it's weird to most people

That’s weird, Vice taking the far left position? Hacks.

I had a recent experience traveling with friends to Friday Harbor in Washington State near Victoria Island. It was a touristy spot in the PNW. There are 4 of us that day - 3 asians and 1 white . My white friend needed to use the restroom so the three of us went to a tourist information center. When we walked in the two white ladies just ignored us didn’t say hi or anything and we were not paying attention at first until my white friend walked in . one lady immediately got up and greeted him. And when she found out that the white guy is friend with the other 3 asians She started to talk to all of us but the entire time she only had eye contact with my white friend. It was kinda weird for me. It was not a bad experience but you noticed the skin color do make a difference in how people treated you in the US.

Canadians are welcoming the death cult n outdated weird culture, I don't know that why to play this soft to evil,?

He speaks Spanish weirdly not to be rude but , he doesn't sound that educated. I don't blame him as leaving his prior shitty situation was the main priority

It's really weird. I've been living in Quebec for 30 years and I've never seen people of Quebec shouting racist words like this.

I'VE BEEN RACIALLY PROFILED BY THE SAME PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY ARE BEING RACIALLY PROFILED!!! I GOT FOLLOWED AROUND AT THE INDIAN VEGETABLE MARKET ON DANFORTH!!! I FELT WEIRD ABOUT IT AFTERWARDS AND I NEVER WENT BACK TO THAT VEGETABLE MARKET TOO!!! NEXT TIME I'LL CALL THE POLICE!!!

weird how theres so much negativity here...question? The America's is a baby country; young. Does everyone realize that it doesnt matter if its Canada, Mexico or any other American country....WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS!...

Share the story without a smile it’s weird ?she was explaining the slave tools way to normal ?
