Most people feel more comfortable living around people who are like themselves, with similar backgrounds. This is universal. This also was the way it use to be in America until a small group of white elites decided, apparently this had to change. Now people do trend to stay home and isolate themselves particularly in multicultural areas. As to this particular video, sorry l had a hard time understanding what he was saying.

I really feel sorry for Canadians. This guy is destroying your beautiful country.

Shoppers Drug Mart is the worst offender and they are the most likely to be own by a minority. I feel uncomfortable every winter when I get a cold and have to grab a cough syrup. They train their employees to act like loss prevention. I feel sorry for the minimum wage earner who is taught to moonlight as loss prevention rather than a customer service employee. Btw I'm black.

I know in the medical profession standards are much higher in Canada than in a lot of places where people immigrate from. I know of two doctors who came here from Ukraine and they didn’t have the qualifications yet they were doctors in their homeland. They now are both nurses. I feel sorry for people who come here and can’t make it but on the other hand it’s good to have high standards in medicine in particular.

Asher sahab, I know you from you TV film background and story about your life. app sey guzarish hai key you should avoid talk too long and speak quick and fast and better to make a scripts before and be limited according to the scripts then go for general talk and talk just should not be a talk it should be more visible and active. I am sorry if you feel bad, but this is a practice of most of Pakistani peoples which you should avoid on international viewers. Pl you can response me if you have a question shukeria bhai.

I feel bad for laughing about the seal clubbing joke, so I'd like to apologise and say sorry to all clubbed and unclubbed seals. \nBut lads, you're hilarious!

What I came to realize in life is that people don’t really like you, they like your talent/skills. take your time to be skilled in something and people will hunt down your skills. this applies mostly to all people based on statistics. if you are white and you ain’t skilled, you will be fired. as simple as that. businesses want to make money. so if you are black and you have what it takes, businesses will hunt you down since they will realize that they need your skills. I have learned that from Thomas Sowell and it has freed my mind as a young black man. I am a scientist ( I aspire to be the best one ) and I have started to reap what I sow. stop trying to make people feel sorry for you. work hard, get skills that are needed in the society and the rest will take care of itself. Also, you gotta hold yourself on high standards as a human being and you will be a blessing to the community. have a wonderful day y’all. love one another. we are the same race ( human race ) with simply different skin colors. just like FLOWERS of different colors. we need to change our mindset and things will be better for sure.

Sir, Pakistanies like me feel sorry and miss you. Love you, Sir !!!

Aslaamo alaikum\nDear Ashir i have listened you carefully but the thing i think is, how can a man like me get migrate from Pakistan to Canada?\nI am a driver now, before this i had spent 50 years of my life in jobs since i was 19. I got my education upto F.Sc., due to separation in parents i had started to do jobs and still in struggle to make my kids educated. When you disclose the reality about difference between two countries please think 1% or may be sum bit, people like me feel that they are failed by the word KISMAT and you understand who make Kismat. I feel heavy heart while i had struggled for better but never got success just because i am from those who are really poor and more over belongs to a community which never been stoped to be discriminated. I am very much upset in trying to be truthful just to see most of whom had a corrupt money or ethic they get success and rate it by adding that Pakistan left no values nor else what. I know Allah is every where and sees every moment for his creature spent in living a life without any luxury or normal and always put in struggle with an end of this life. I request you to tell the truth that don't make decisions as one wants but remain calm that Allah will give you better in after life. If you feel that you didn't understand what i want to say you can mail me, my id is mfarooqaslam1@gmail.\nPlease don't feel bad i am v much sorry if so. I have pain and waiting for end of this as per Gods will.\nRegards and gratitude\nFarooq.

Don't feel sorry for we asian people. We do not feel getting hurt for these dirty racist words, we just feel a little bothered like when you walking on street and a dog bark at you. Feeling hurt is just emotion of a weak, we Asian will not response to racist as the way black people doing ( Claiming and crying). We Asian will response to racist by making our countries stronger, richer and more civilized . Asian people have ever been lead the world, and nowaday we are coming back to lead the world in economy, education, scientist...

i feel sorry to my fellow countrymen. Forgive and Pray for him. Let Jesus do the right thing for you.

Canada is a post colonial country obviously its built on racism as a white Irish guy never was aware of it my wife is indigenous has a good job and 5he last person to steal and is regularly followed i get enraged but she let's it roll off her back says she feels sorry for there ignorance

People like that honestly cannot change. As an indian I actually feel sorry for her because racism doesn't appear out of no where, her parents probably passed it down to her and now she and whoever she passes it onto are stuck with it.

I feel sorry for these women! They don't know their religion and what the Quran and Muslim sources say about women. Why would they choose to follow such faith?

I live in 3rd world anyway why do I feel sorry for them ? Lol

Don't feel for sorry for these Asians ?

I am so sorry people have to live where they don't feel safe... :(

Honestly, I wouldn't give anyone money who's wearing a niqab either, sorry. If I can't see your face then I feel like you're hiding something.

Mexicans do the same in my area they judge you by how you look if you ain't a chalupa they won't rent you a house but then they want others to feel sorry for them when their being deported or treated a certain way that's just being a hypocrite

Just keep going north next stop Russia, I,m sure they would give your family asylum, stay in your own country and try to change that one however with the corruption and crime of the socialist type government change would be slow coming feel sorry for them but illegally crossing one border after another is not the answer, countries have immigration laws to keep them safe as well.....

I dont feel sorry for him. Why leave the US?

I feel sorry for that guy who fell for all the racist propaganda that turned him into a raging Islamophobe, hook, line and sinker .

Yo Leland. I'm sorry man. I could feel how much love you have in your voice. You were so disappointed in us and pray that people see your blessings. Thank you to all Native, Metis and Inuit for your love patience with us.

Dear any and all Racists people: please note that there is nothing special about you that makes you feel important than others. We all entered this world the same way and we will All leave the same way. I feel sad and sorry for you

Sorry Drew, you lived in the US, so there's going to be biases even if you don't mean it, as you have a more in-depth feel of living there hehe.

I used to feel sorry for these brainwashed women but right now I just want them gone. all of these islamic fanatics gone. world would be a much better place

Don’t feel sorry for this guy at all.

The whole bit about the store staff asking you if you needed assistance or hovering around you has happened to me when I was in Saudi Arabia in a store that sells electronic devises and books etc , bear in mind that I am Egyptian and that happens to me in Egypt as well so I don't think of it as race problem more so that some stores are just worried about theift, still that doesn't mean that I don't hate it, it makes you feel pressured to buy something so I thought if I went to Canada and if this happens to me it will be normal, now I don't think so.\nP.s. sorry my grammar and spelling isn't top notch giving that it isn't my native language.

As an asian woman living in Europe for 14 years I faced a decent number of racism, which was a shocker to me coming from the country where we accept any race and I was never treated any different. At my university the very first time I faced racism was from my PROFESSOR! The only thing I felt was sorry for him and his shallow life. Racism prevents you from learning so much more in this world, you automatically limit yourself with your assumptions. So, to all the racists, I feel sorry for you and your sad life of hater and anger.

feel sorry for canada. such a beautiful country with beautiful people. support from the uk

I have been followed in target for looking like people of walmart. As a mom of two I rarely look fabulous. Typically I look pretty homeless without hair and makeup. \nWhen I was followed it made me feel so shameful when I was doing NOTHING wrong. I ended up leaving with nothing and I haven't been back since. Now I am imagining this happening everywhere.\nI am so sorry for the world we live in. Especially for people of color.

Hello, I just watched your video. Three years after you made it. I hope you are still with us and a very belated Welcome. Many people throughout the world seem to have so many stereotypes about Americans. Whether it is good or bad there typically is some truth in a stereotype. Overall it seems like you are enjoying yourself and no matter what there is no place like home. I would think no matter what your current situation is you still miss Canada as I would miss the United States if I were to move to Canada. \nA couple things you mentioned in the video were not correct and as with anything there may be a little truth in the matter but yet still incorrect.\nThose who do not have health insurance are not charged or taxed $150 monthly. There is a provision in the affordable care act (ACA) that penalizes certain individuals who make above a certain dollar amount. The amount is either $150 or $300 for the entire year. I concur any monetary penalty against anyone for not having health insurance is outrageous. I could be wrong but I believe this aspect of the ACA was never implemented under President Obama and it was indefinitely suspended or revoked by President Trump. I also feel like I need to address your thoughts about the United States all about war. I believe the American people are like most other people and want peace and civility. The government and major defense contractors have differing opinions at times. Of course there is plenty of people who are war hawks but they are in the minority. Most of us are absolutely sick of war. We currently have been at war for almost 19 years. That's six complete world war 2's in their entirety. \nI think you were being awfully generous when you said obesity is on par with the rest of the world!! Unfortunately there is far to many fat people here and the problem is only getting worse because the media says be happy and proud you are fat. Celebrating obesity is absolutely insane and it sends the wrong message to young people. If a close one is fat of course I love them but I also tell them privately that they are a walking heart attack. It's more than OK to accept someone the way they are but as a friend or family member you doing them a disservice by not mentioning their obesity. \nI'm sorry if you feel I'm being to harsh or critical. I think it is a wonderful thing to share the world's longest border with such a great nation as Canada. I have always thought Canada was like the United States fraternal brother or sister. We are very much alike with a few beautiful differences that distinguishes from one another. It doesn't appear that you upload videos hear anymore but I hope you get the opportunity to read this. Thank you for coming to the United States and I love all my canadian brothers and sisters. Take care.

Ignorance is not an excuse to commit crimes and I believe she was also train to play on Canadians feelings so that they may feel sorry for her because she was f****** ignorant

Sorry Sir, you get what you deserve. You are focused on breaking the law, skirting the system, not doing the right thing. You could have applied for immigration in the USA and probably would have been considered but you like many others feel above the law. Too bad so sad for you.

With 70 years communism rule chinese have became faithless people, people are money worship, people do everything possible to earn money and do everything they can do with money.Most of these wealthy chinese get their fortune by illicit way in China,so they need a country they can hide their money safe, Canada, US and Australia are always the prior choice, As a chinese I feel really sorry to see this.

Having experienced Canada, and Canadians feel sorry that we all have been traped in a world that is run by greed and inhumane standards!!! I may not see it, but believe that there is time to pay back!!!!

8:26 what the heck what Islam did she talking ? ??Jihad is 6 pillars of Islam ???? Astaqfurullah did I feel sorry for her or I laugh. What a lair! this lady is just Munafaq wAllahi trying very hard to spread false about Islam. \n\nBut if I at least give an excuse for her jihad means struggle or strive in English it is Arabic word and the meaning is that and being good Muslim like praying 5 times day giving charity and fasting etc. also educating yourself is jihad so okey ? if she meant that

28:15 - I feel sorry for dog, having to be walked by such a disrespectful person.

I feel so sorry for this white guy... he just made himself idiot to the whole world

Sikh people are the best people on earth with hearts. I feel sorry for This sikh brother who had face this because of Islamophobia.

Wow. Well I want to cry to because almost half my pay check every week is lost or stolen from me and given to people who just want to live for free on there ass's. Fix your own country and stop trashing everywhere else. I feel sorry for the children. No fucks given for the adults because they have the choice to work move and make a better life and not depend on others to fix there lives for them.

Don't tell me. He came to U.S illegally. You had T.P.S. for how long? No sympathy. You could've become a citizen, learned the language. You choose not to. Your choice. Sounds like a personal problem. I feel sorry for his family, though.

?Where’s the immigrant? All I see is an illegal ! This article wants us to feel sorry for this man who not only broke America’s laws but Canada’s . \nOnly Americans are expected to move over and die for people like this .

Dear , you don't have to feel sorry. I am sure your intention is very very good. Seems you are good human beings. I lives in UK for 18 years. In beginning I struggled a lot. During past 18 years I have travelled lots in various countries and seen so many settled people who are origin from respective country or are settled from ages . But you also note that thay had gone through with same as beginner going through, or might b lot . I like your post, and doesn't notice any ego or proud in that . I like that . But what I mean to say is everyone from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka or Bangladesh , before come in English country or in any country, are starting very big dreams and after step into new country they don't accept positive things and blames only those countries where thay have gone for higher education or for earning money. Still they stay there and says here is blot like india , dongle come here , or we have to do this type of job .They don't have servants there, they have to wash their clothes themselves, cook themselves and clean house themselves . That's why thay are saying bad words for that country and still they want path of permanent residence of that country. I am not against of india but if you are staying in English country for 6 months, I request you please make video for how government works for their people, how smooth you can run your business without giving bribe to government officers , how police officers are doing their job and how pure is system . And please all these compare in India and suggest life is easy there or not . I love my country and during my 18 years in UK , I came back to India with my family to settle down the rest life but because of some government officers ( on each step asking bribe for business) , and not getting support from government, decided to go back to UK .I mean to say in English country there is value for poor person or for rich person. In india government hospital are free but look how they treat the patient. Please compair each sector and make video. If you do this would be very grateful. And please mention about politicians in English country and in India. Then people who stays there and complaining same country ( not you ) ,will realise the values . Take care. Best luck.

There are no Christian or Jewish, Sihk, Buddhist, Secular Jihadis, only the mohammaden cult has that, so he is right I am disgusted that the news are sympathetic to these ideological supremacists, do they really believe they are going to make people feel sorry for them. Trump has blown the FAKE NEWS apart. The gulf between the real people and their governments and news providers is widening by the second.

I'm Black so feel sorry for me!!!

When I was in college they had tested people and found that if a woman was a writer they found out that there was a basis against women writers. They thought that women could not write as well as men, which didn't make any sense. What about Agatha Christie? She is considered one of the best women mystery writers of all time. I read her books when I was in my teens and twenties. There were many other women mystery writers, too many too name here. I feel sorry for the people who are on the receiving end of racism. My late husband was Creole. I hope we work past these attitudes some day.

I feel sorry for Canadian they gonna have to deal with crazy low mentality people

Typical liberal comments. Blame some one else. VICE is liberal clown network. Always on verge of attacking some one that doesn't fit their narrative during the videos. This a breaks my heart one poor undocumented illegal, doesn't speak language, has bunch of kids feel sorry for me with 15K in his pocket. Who's SSAN did you steal?
