People have migrated from their homelands to other countries in different centuries—some in the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. I don’t understand why people claim that “we have lost our identity.” The shift from being a majority to a minority is largely about timing—some people’s ancestors arrived earlier than others, usually in search of better opportunities they couldn’t find at home. Most people don’t want to leave their motherland, but they move out of necessity, not preference. Throughout history, Western and Middle Eastern powers destroyed economies, accumulated global wealth for themselves, and caused immense suffering through violence, forced conversions, and plundering. This exploitation is a major reason why some countries today struggle to reach the living standards seen in the West. The long-term effects of colonialism, conflict, and migration continue to shape societies and opportunities for many people.

Christians white people, a minority in Canada 😢😢😢😢😢😢

I live in this general area and have recently retired. True, this area doesn't look like the area did, when I was a kid and since I worked in the technical field, I was in a real minority. So I've worked with many people of color and don't have a problem with that, or the religion, or culture they come from. That said, they are individuals and have faults like everyone else. Often, there is an automatic victimhood or racists assumption, that will get thrown in your face, but with a little thought and practice that's easy to foil, without being apologetic, since you should NEVER be apologetic, if there is no reason to be.

14:47 No hate to other religions??? Watch ur Indian Hindus what they do to the other minority religions

So this is called tolerance …? What about all the experts in all different fields that were Virtually invited to Canada from all over the world because of a shortage a few decades ago Surely they added value - now they have been all used up- time to show some of these Canadian’s true colours ? Some Canadians - hopefully just a minority

0:27 you’ve always been a minority especially with that mentality. Swallow hard.

Come into the West, a lot of white people give you shit, *no matter what you do* . Obviously not all of them. But in this modern era , enough of them to fund an entire media ecosystem just for that perspective. You think your immigrants weren't going to notice? Assimilate into _what_ ? The loudest mouths telling you they hate you and you're responsible for all their problems despite being a minority, because you're not a white Christian? And then you're going to scapegoat _them_ for the problems your government and system created, refuse to adapt, and complain that someone did. And _also_ , just like here in NYC.. the reason why a place gets taken over by a bunch of colored immigrants.. is usually because white people start _running_ . And again, the few that are left, complain about _their own_ fleeing, before doing so themselves. Hilarious. I'm in NYC, my neighborhood is literally every kind of immigrant, Filipino, Jamaican, West Indian, Indian, Haitian... all low to middle class, with some who really _saved_ up working for their 30-50 years here. Kids born or here since little kids, educated and making good money with few exceptions. And so of course the neighborhood.. looks just like any neighborhood in America (albeit denser and more traffic). Must be all that 'wokeness' in NYC. This has nothing to do with white or black or brown, of course. This dynamic plays out anywhere with people that are unwilling to challenge themselves and their ego just finding an easy scapegoat...

Punjabis are just about 2% of Indian population and almost 90% of immigration to UK, Canada and Australia. They have built a whole system on how to migrate to western countries, there are corporations, syndicates who find all possible loop holes and even defraud immigration rules and exploit it. Whole villages are emptying in India and moving to suburbs in the west.. One who see Indians in the west might think Sikhs are India, but they are a miniscule minority of about 2% concentrated in Punjab region..

Wow, western countries are over with, all the EU/UK/USA (no matter what Trump thinks he doing) are all to multi cultural to ever reverse this, in the 30 whites will be a minority, in 50 a rarity and the world will continue, this is life baby, for all us in our 50s, sure was nice back in the day, at east we got to experience it. A culture where if one person has a job, than as many can fit in the house life for free...is basically what the one dude said, that is how they think over all.

"Were now a minority, it's a tough pill to swallow" lmaaaooo, how horrible for you

White folks are always unhappy. If they are majority and in charge, they are unhappy, and if they are the minority and in charge, they are unhappy. Can't make them happy.

Personally disgusted ,angered etc.I feel like a minority in my own country... I work hard AND I pay my taxes....the immigration scene from South Asia is so disturbing they don't pay taxes, supposed Universities, colleges...BS ..... its a cover... the free loading HAS TO DAMN WELL STOP.

It must break their hearts, like how the superior white skinned colonizers now becoming minority in their own countries 😂😂 Don't worry The karma is just completing it's Life cycle.

I'm an immigrant myself, and I brought conservative values to Canada. Why? Because I want to "Conserve" what Canada is, not change it into the third world country I'm from. I try to explain this to many Canadians, but they go with the left. This will implode Canada from within. Even the legal system is being wrecked, you can't touch some immigrants, up to how many minority labels they can slap to themselves. I'll put the message here: study South America History and GET RID OF THE LEFT WHILE YOU CAN. The socialist elite doesn't care, they will live at the top, rich, untouchable, as long as the masses are paying the taxes. It doesn't matter if the country is in disarray. Immigration must have one golden rule: if you want to live like in your home country, you are not welcome and I'll be deported.

Conestoga is one of Doug Ford’s donor we need an investigation who’s giving work permits to Punjabi Indians to come to Canada the minorities are living in fear for their childre’s future with the number of Indians in Canada we are facing racism in jobs hiring the same will happen to our children deport the scammers they are a threat to this country

They have studied and are exploiting loopholes, and have been for years, but rest assured, the Liberal government will be putting a minor slowdown on the rampant immigration by 2027. Not even joking... I am not against immigration, I am against mass immigration. There should be no more than 10,000 entering the country every year, and not all mainly from one country. The Liberal government is lining us up for disaster under the direction of the WEF.

Two generations ago (50-60 years ago) the Indians who came to Canada, with no family in Canada had excellent qualifications. They had to come with jobs waiting for them in universities, engineering firms, architectural firms and hospitals. The students were Masters or Ph.D. with full scholarship. They went on to build the country but they were minorities fighting the occasional racism on the street (as the woman in the green t- shirt says). Today, as a result of Trudeau's naïveté about the level of corruption in India, there's a huge influx of relatively unqualified Indians arriving and not being able to assimilate into Canadian society because they do not have good job qualifications. They end up living in ghettos and turn to crime. We must fix that by being much more selective of Indian immigrants. As someone of the Indian diaspora, I'd also like to say that there are those Indo Canadians ("brown folks") who want nothing to do with the Brampton or Surrey ghettos. Many of us are completely secular, having no religion and share nothing with these people fighting around temples and yelling at each other in Punjabi or Hindi. We speak English and French and vote in the elections.

OHBOO HOO WHITE PPL ARE THE NOW MINORITY ?? NOW YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS EITHER ADAPT TO CHANGE OR GET LEFT BEHIND THIS BLAME GAME BY THESE SO CALLED JOURNALISTS ARE CREATING DIVIDE THE FUTURE DOESNT CARE ABOUT SKIN COLOR AND UR PAKI IM INDIAN ALL SHOULD PROSPER NOT BRING DOWN

why cant indi.ans stay their own country? whites will be minority soon or already is, its not like indian girls or men are more attractive than any other ethnicity

12:55 That Sikh man is the most rational person in this whole video compared to all the white people complaining that THEY’RE the “minority” now. Keep in mind Canada was NEVER a white country. Racism needs to die.

Shame on you canada . I mean iam an INDIAN, and I love and respect SIKHS( NOT KHALISTANI) , but Allowing other people to make your people minority is bad politics. We INDIANS will never allow immigrants to come and make us feel sacred.

WHAT A STRANGE LADY TO SAY IT'S A TOUGH PILL TO SWALLOW TO BE A MINORITY HOW WOULD THE MINORITIES FEEL IT'S REALLY WEIRD SUCH A WEIRD PERSON AND MAYBE SHE FORGETS THAT HER BRITISH PEOPLE COLONIZE THOSE COUNTRIES AND TORE THEM APART AND STOLE 50 TRILLION AND GOLD SO THAT'S WHY THEY'RE ALL OVER THE WORLD

As a physical minority person i see Indians are same as anyone else i don’t see any difference between indian and canadian in canada. so stop the nonsense stupid division in Ontario.

I wonder why some people cry about being a minority and wondering why there are so many immigrants. 1. Immigrants are here to pay for your old age benefits. 2. The whites are a minority because of a non-existent family value. 90% come from divorced parents or parents who never married. They also are barely interested in taking the responsibility of having children. A generation that turned away from God and wonder why they are getting extinct! It is also pathetic to see a lot of new immigrants not wanting to keep the city clean and carry on some of the good practices of the people who lived here before.

We may live in the same world but if the majority wont hire or house the minority it's war. Fucking war or not war, Pick which you people want.

Brampton has 52% indian people, and there are a lot of other cities where white people are the minority, makes canaduh the largest 3rd world country on the planet

I used to come to Brampton in 2008 for shopping because they had a lot of outlets then. It was already majorly South Asian/Indian then. It's probably been like this for 30 years. This isn't new. Most of the GTA has been like this for many years. Whites were becoming a minority for the last 20 years country wide due to birth rate even before the cost of living crisis. Foreign people are more family oriented than us. A child free lifestyle is unusual for them.

I am so sick of this as a Canadian, it's unbelievable. If you showed me this in a satirical comedy show 10 years ago, I would say it's too overboard to be funny. But here we are! I'm moving to the United States because of this. And before you ask, yes, I am proudly a racist. That doesn't mean I hate anyone or I want harm towards anybody, I just don't want to become a minority in my own country :)

There’s definitely an influx of Indians in Brampton that make a mess which needs to change lol but with all that talk about being dirty and living together.. how often have you ever come across a homeless Indian? Do we need less of them? Yes, but do a lot of them also grind their asses off to make it work? Yes. They only get berated because there’s a surge of them, and this would’ve been just as bad for Africans, Latinos and East asians if roles were reversed. “They stay to themselves” yeah it’s called a community and white people have always excluded minorities lmao so suck it up. We do need to deport a lot of these students who make a mess but lets not act like these Indians aren’t hustlers who do what it takes to make it work.

I live in Brampton, i am all for diversity but where is the diversity if everyone is Indian. I am French originally and i am in a minority of one! Let's be clear, the massive Indian increase in the population is due to Trudeau's immigration policy, the indians did not jump over the border as some of the comments suggest, they mostly came here legally, and this was done without broad agreement of the Canadian population as a whole. Canadian population went from being 30 million inhabitants to 40 millions in just over a decade, a massive population increase in a short time due mostly to Indian immigration with huge impact on housing , cost of housing, infrastructure, jobs, taxes, etc... The liberals have a lot to answer for the disaster which Canada has become in the last 10 years and yes they got rid off Trudeau, but they are still in power, stiffling the potential economic growth of Canada which should be a rich country instead of being a country where many people live from pay cheques to pay cheques.

man these videos are irritating. GUYS the government doesnt give a damn if the new immigrants assimilate.... THEY ARE AFTER THE immigrants CHILDREN! the ones that will be born here and go through the Canadian brainwash system. The birth rate is at 1.4 it needs to be at 2.1 thats why they NEED indians, INDIANS have MASSIVE FAMILIES thats exactly what the government is after., AND whites saying they are a minority? THEY make up 70% of canada Indians make up 7% THE hell you imbeciles talking about minority LMAO.

Imagine what did the Indegenous Indian's think when they saw European immigrants, who took there everything and made them the minorities in their country of Canada.

I am First Nations and I have been concerned about how the face and language of Canada has changed. The first thing we noticed in our small town was that the taxi companies were taken over by East Indians. Now days you are hard pressed to get a taxi anywhere in Canada and get a driver who hails from India. I used to like Tim Horton's until I needed an interpreter to make my order, one doesn't speak English so, she had to get another worker to take my order. You go into any 7/11 or any gas station, or convenience store. All are staffed by people from India. But, it isn't just Indians. There are many other immigrants coming to Canada from China, Japan etc. None of these immigrants do not speak very good English. I have faced prejudice from these people who do not recognize my rights as an indigenous person. Going for an xray, blood test the field is mostly Asian. I have to get cataract surgery and I couldn't understand the Chinese receptionist and had to spell most of what I said to her. That means their business is mostly with Chinese-speaking people. As a First Nations person my status will always be a minority. With every immigrant that comes to Canada my status as an indigenous person diminishes. Taking transit shows me that english or french are ever spoken. Canadians are the new minority.

Wondering if native peoples were saying that when they became minorities and white people became the majority.

Good thing Trump has secured the north border with this trash trying to get into America from Canada. Canadians will be the minority soon enough as they give their country away.

The Canadian Govt. must do something immediately - nobody must be swamped by immigrants- watching from India- just put a halt to the benefits and try to get the Govt. to pass laws that will stop the mad rush ! I can understand the anguish- I would not like to be a minority in my land!

Immigrants claim they pose no harm when they are a minority. The same goes for Muslims and Chinese. But as their numbers grow, they seek to impose their values ​​and dominate the world. It's the same everywhere. And this is why the world is in chaos.

He's right! 3:17 once these brownnies get in office, or Canadian politics, that's there foot in the door to passing whatever laws they want because then they multiply like rats and take over. One day you non-brownnies will be the minority and the majority will be...guess who? And one day there will be a name change from canada to new india! Now you know how the Indigenous felt when you took over their lands, now the other indians are taking over! This is not being racist but a fact!

Just asking how the indigenous people felt as a minority because of influx in f Europeans. And how does the Pakistan people assimilate by wearing hijab and demanding halal at every food joint. I don’t support illegal immigration of India or Africans. I don’t want to pay for people’s hotel room who came here on fake refugee status. But we shouldn’t only target only one community. Please check which community has more kids for ccb and comes as asylum to every western country. And the Indian students who came probably didn’t get a chance in Indian colleges.

Time stamp: 2:25-2:29 you two gentlemen and myself "men of no color" are the minority. Buddy white IS a COLOR. Why do y'all continue saying that?. As IF white isn't a color. You should just have said us White people are the minority in our own country. 😂😂😂

Atleast the racist white ppl are now feeling what is natives felt for the past how many years we were the minority now white people are aswell

See I'm conflicted now actually. So you're saying these Indian communities are providing free resources at large scales for food and hospitality that aren't being taken advantage of by the homeless and impoverished white population? I'm not sure where the problem starts here.. because to be quite honest the rest of the country isn't necessiraly like this. Places like Hamilton and Toronto are incredibly mixed, where I'm not sure there is a minority, and places such as Welland, st Catherine's, Niagara, Langley, are still largely white. At what point do we look at people who are choosing to live on the streets and do drugs and say they are not taking advantage of the resources and opportunities being provided to them? And Brampton has been this way, to be honest, for 20 years. At what point do we accept that this is now Brampton, and that the country offers a lot of diversity for those who would choose to not live in it.

White Racist that Migrated from Europe and Hating Minorities. Native Americans Indigenous people are the First People. White Europeans Invaded Canada and Murdered Many of The Native American Indigenous People and The Native School Children were Slaughtered and burned on school grounds. The White people are living on Stolen Land that belong to The Native American Indigenous People.

So sad filled up with Indies minority Canadians

People are so worried about being the minority as if minorities are treated bad or something 🤨

White-societies have a tendency to externalize blame for their decline onto others immigrants/racial minorities etc, without looking into their own systems. The collapse of family farming in Brampton or other part of Canada for instance, was not caused by immigrants but by corporate consolidation.....which since its being made into a race argument ...is driven largely by white elites. Declining white fertility is likewise a cultural product of hyper-individualism, consumerism, and high divorce rates, lack of kinship-based safety nets, where individual entitlement takes precedence over collective responsibility....and not simply demographic replacement by the brown immigrants. White societies have historically exported systems of domination and resource extraction, destabilizing the very regions whose immigrants they look down upon. What you are witnessing is not the result of immigration, but the unraveling of a culture built on exploitation, entitlement, and disposability.....one that is now collapsing under its own design. None of us are perfect, but folks keep framing this economic crisis in terms of immigration problem, rather than wealthy elite minority vs dispossessed majority, you are never getting this fixed.

Those who fear being a minority quickly reveal how they would behave if they were the majority. Guilty consciences on display.

I am Canadian.... WAIT!!!! I am FROSTBACKASTANI... I am a native to this land, my family and ancestors have wonder this land for Tens of thousands of years, we are the real minority in our own land!!

If a community feels like they are the minority among the people they live with, they wouldn't dare themselves to go against the majority. Now, could you guys do the same interview in the UK as well?. Just watch the film "Slumdog Millionaire".

How are canadian businesses forced to hire "minorities" but these indian companies get away with employing 50 people, with every single one being indian, and only 5 speaking english?
