Did none of the hypocrites here see through the hypocrisy of this video? That half naked man on the street complaining about people being naked in their house Landlords happy about growing rent All of these people pay taxes,almost everyone seen in the video works,and last I checked even blue collar workers pay taxes,from an uber eats driver to the nurse These people come here legally paying double and triple in fees,they're not illegal immigrants like many in USA The church was sold willingly for money and then the temple was built,all temples pay property taxes and were bought with money No one wants to talk about diploma mills willingly giving admissions to the students The people welcomed the youtuber with open arms,explained things,gave answers and a lot of food Some things need improvement I totally agree like Indians need to maintain cleanliness and integrate but overall what a piece of propaganda this video is,people in comments literally ignoring how welcoming the people were to this youtuber That guy is totally right,people don't really face racism irl Anyways I am glad people irl are not like people online,I love Canada and always will and I'm proud of how welcoming and open Canada is 🇨🇦❤️

These all Canadians who called themselves their own forefathers cane from britain,france,spain,Portugal these all are also immigrants and why they are not targeting each other because most are white and Indians are brown that pure racism

For social cohesion , peace and stability, government of Canada should completely stop Indian migration. This is no longer racism. It is a pragmatism

Entire Canada is Brampton now. Absolutely disgusting cultural suicide this country has committed. There is no more multiculturalism, now it's becoming INDIA. Nothing against Indian people, but ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Oh and I am an immigrant too, so stick your "racism" and other comments up your rear.

Immigrants come here and make more babies just to get the child tax credit!! Then they cry racism if we say anything, I'm fed up with the amount of immigrants being let into Canada, I'm sure there are immigrants working in the government that are making sure these immigrants are let in. My 21 year old son can't get a job, why? Because he's not Indian, or Phillipino. Enough is enough!!!

Like USA, get officers to get them all out of our soil. Not racism, but they need to leave, even they got official papers. Stop giving them benefit for our tax dollars. Not racism, but majority robberies from The blacks new immigrants. Not racism, but too many Indians, no integrity, not polite, not following our cultural and demanding us to respect them. Respect is a two- way street. Thry don't respect our traditions, they should get deported. Politicians corruption like a third world countries because those immigrants are from those countries.

I used to defend indians whenever a fellow construction worker is on them however now I don’t bother since most of them showed deep coldness and slick behaviour like racism towards blacks, natives and Asian, smear campaign on job sites to get other contractors fired and of course the job will most likely be handed to them. Was disgusted when realising that some of them are getting paid 13/hr. To be short, this people are terribly dreadful and malignant in so many ways just really good at hiding it. And I am also an immigrant.

10:50 false. Businesses don't receive money back for hiring migrants. Be selective with the information shared. Some businesses with labor shortages are helped with the settlement program with administrative support. Racism is to blame a particular group of people, Indian is a big group in Canada and around the world, but not the only one. Chinese, Philippines, Latino, Ukrainian, and East European are the majority in Canada. Look in statistics Canada. Hiring specific migrants instead of Canadians is a company decision is pure capitalism. House crisis is a global issue, capitalism (investment vs basic human rights). Inflation is an economic issue. The most wanted criminals in all of Canada, are Canadians. Look into the police web pages, go yourself and see the pictures and names. Blame migrants is a global tactic used 100 years ago by different politics to get elected with the promise of a solution. Migration exists with humanity, economic crises are modern issues. With the wrong diagnosis we get the wrong solutions. Wake up Canada, that is the reason that US is your father.

“I came to Canada as a 13-year-old immigrant, innocent and fresh off the boat. I’ll never forget how a white girl in my PE class would throw my clothes in the garbage and bully me just because I was different. That’s what racism looks like. So when I see videos today blaming immigrants, I know exactly how much hate that spreads. Young Indian students are dying, struggling in laundry rooms and basements, and instead of compassion we point fingers. Immigrants may need some adjustments, yes, but that’s no reason to divide or dehumanize us. Stop spreading hate — Canada is stronger when we stand together.”

“As a brown Canadian, I know exactly what racism feels like — I’ve lived it for 40 years. The truth is, some people simply can’t accept brown immigrants, even though we work the hardest and often for the lowest pay. Yes, one percent may cause trouble, but that exists in every community. What’s really unfair is how brown immigrants are singled out, while no one makes videos when Indian students are dying or struggling. We’re not monkeys — we’re human beings, we’ve worked for decades building this country, often in silence and underpaid. Stop the racism. Canada is stronger when we live together, not when we tear each other down.”

I am so happy people are starting to speak up. Sadly, I am changing. I am becoming angry. Angry at immigrants and the system. Am I becoming racist? Or just so lost at how things seem so wrong. My main upset is for my teen son. Turned 16 after Christmas. So excited about looking for a part-time job, earning some money, getting experiences and (unbeknownst to him ) expanding his social circle. This excitement came from me. LIke all us Canadians who remember our first part-time jobs (mine was at a McDonalds), I regaled my son in stories of that first part-time job. How much I learned from it, and the so many benefits it would have for me as I got older. He listened, and couldn't wait to turn 16. Also, like most parents, I raised him on the benefits of working hard in school, getting good grades, learning, getting involved, etc. Do these things son, and you will have a good future. He listened. Honours student all his life. Played on school teams. Performed in talent shows, Volunteered his time, etc., etc. Not a bad resume for a first time teen seeking a job. It is now heading into September. He has applied at all the traditional teen job hotspots, (all the fast food joints, grocery stores, drug stores, etc). Dozens of resumes, online and in-person applications. Not a single response. Then I walk into the local Burger King. Not a single Caucasian, Black, Hispanic, Indigenous, or Far Eastern employee. All East Indian (or Pakistani). Suddenly I am really noticing this trend everywhere, especially in the franchise fast food industry; especially upsetting when I even see it in a Harvey's (even more Canadian than Timmies). It's either East Indians or Arabs. I don't know for how long I have been hearing about diversity and fair hiring practices (which I have always supported); but to see this trend makes me furious. Are the owners of these franchise exempt from fair hiring practices? Are they not taught we are a diverse country? This is wrong. I want to finish with two sad situations which we should all be concerned about. When my eldest was looking for part-time work after the pandemic, he walked into a Mr. Submarine. He asked if he could leave his resume or fill out an application. The Arab cashier told him in broken English they were not hiring. As he was walking out, a young Arab man walked in. He approached the same cashier and asked for an application. She gave him one. WTF. My last comment, is the most concerning of all. My 16 year old, who works so hard at school, and at everything he does, recently commented, after yet another non-reply after handing out a slew of resumes, "Dad... what's the use of working so hard if I can't even get a job at McDonalds." I wonder how many other Canadian teens are feeling the same way. Not just white teens. Black, Hispanic, Indigenous and East Asian teens. Seems the broken English East Indian and Arab teens and young adults aren't asking themselves that. How long until my son thinks I am just spewing BS about this hard work thing? This is not about racism. This is about fair hiring practices, especially in more and more franchises; however, I do find myself listening to more and more of these videos, and find myself developing sucb negative feelings towards these two cultures. This is not Canadian. To be thinking this way, especially, is not Canadian. What do we do? Speak up, and we are racist. Stay quiet, and our teen kids move into adulthood without job experience, money put away, or just having a life experience that any of us over 30 (no matter our race) experienced. Something has to change; but I haven't a clue how to do that.

Brother JamCan, this whole thing was predictable decades ago! I got to Canada in 1995 right after hell unfolded in the country of a thousand hills! I saw with my own eyes & felt from personal experience how great my adopted country was! However, not everything was rosy! I saw and experienced the "not-in-your-face" anti-black racism, whether politically, socially, and most def in the employment market! At the same time, the establisment (read white folks) was busy encouraging & promoting east indians to take up leadership roles in all spheres of the society, thus making them the "model minority" in the country! This mess was bound to happen, and in the end, this is what got us here! My feeling is that white canada is totally responsible for this, and they should stop crying on TV, roll up their sleeves, and clean up the mess! Peace Out!

Canadians have been labelled racists; Indians have refused to adopt the Canadian way of life. They are dirty, rude, blame deflectors in the workplace. I have been replaced by Indians in the workplace due to claims of "racism" just for calling out issues created and perpetuated by Indian colleagues. How many scam calls are we all getting now, how many jobs are we losing to them now, how many incentives are companies exploiting by hiring them just to drive profits now? I have a university degree and cannot get a job after such terrible experiences with these people in the workplace so I am going back to school in order to enter a type of industry they have not 'yet' taken over. Boomer thinking, their voting of Liberals and media brainwashing of "cultural diversity" has brought these issues to the boiling point. Enough is enough! Go back to India!

The same racism indians are doing to whyte Canadians is the same racism whyte Canadians did to black Canadians, what goes around comes around 😂

why is racism against indians getting normalised? what made the guy behind the camera think he would be supported when the video will be posted online?

Omg...what a Freudian slip...getting Mike Spence's name mixed up with JD Vance...one was brave in the face of evil who wouldn't cave into bullying to accept an undeserved victory...the other is a boot-licking, ring-kissing pathetic excuse for a man who even when his Indian-born wife and half-Indian kids were subjected to rank racism...did absolutely nothing...privately Mrs Vance & her side of the family .. had to have been so let down when there was no push back from the VP.

Why we are normalising this racism face by Indian ? what the benefit of having so much english speaking internet users when we can't trend a #.so that the topic of racism face by india become global news.????

This is what indians face in America, racism, indians are tied in shakals and sent back home like criminals, they didnt do that to illigal chinese immigrants, also now trum is threatning with tarrifs, we need to know america hs now become our enemy.

Indians face racism in foreign countries whereas Northeastern people of India face racism within their own country. These same people abuse their own native brothers and sisters of Northeast India. Both the situations are sad.

Sky and land difference between Indian Bollywood movie and the ground reality peoples character, mindset it's really very funny to talk about racism by others towards Indian's when Indians are the top of the world number one in the name of racism brutally racist fascist around the world that is why now rest of the entire world hate Indian recently with India not good relationship with others country like Bangladesh Pakistan Myanmar Sri Lanka Nepal Bhutan Maldives Malaysia Singapore Dubai Qatar Saudi Arabia Kuwait Korea south Africa Australia Europe Canada UK USA.India needs to improve its civics sense, cleanliness hygene instead of hypocrisy blaming others very important need to improve self-respect nasty culture bathroom hygiene is prohibited

I am Indian and I left Australia due to racism☝️

My dad is an Indian migrant to Australia. He came here legally and worked his butt off for 40 years. To people commenting in the section about how this is unfair and complaining about it. Legal migrants don’t want you in their countries either. It ruins everyone’s reputation. Indians have largely been known to be model citizens. Participants in the western traditions and economic development. By going somewhere illegally you break that trust and let’s be honest the only ones that travel illegally don’t have an education nor considerable skills. That’s going to land you in trouble in any country. If you don’t want to be chained up. Then don’t break the law. As for the rest of it. Racism is going to exist no matter what. There are also dumb illiterate locals with no considerable skills. They need someone to blame for their own shortcomings in life. Leave them be.

You don’t have to equivocate, we all know it’s because of racism. I know racism is something completely alien to Hindustan. Indian Muslims, what say you?

Racism is legal in west if it is done against Indians

Don’t talk about racism, we know very well, how Indians treat other ethnicities and poor state inhabitants within India.

I will blame Canada's liberal government, and it's politicians for their unnecessary public statements, and rhetoric which resulted into the increased racism towards all south asians in Canada, specially to the east Indians.

Hello Bro & sisters, pls stop complaining about racism in foreign countries. India has the worst racist practices and worst caste practices like higher castes and lower castes. There are no jobs abroad for their own citizens so how would a foreigner find jobs ? \nNO CANADA IS NOT A FAV DESTINATION FOR INDIANS SEEKING QUALITY EDUCATION, THATS MISLEADING TOO.

Canada ?? is losing it's reputation as a welcoming ? country for international students/migrants, particularly to Indians, due to high inflation, lack of accommodations, lack of jobs, Racism etc . This is mainly because of too many immigrants who have landed into the country after the Covid. \nIt is better that Indians think twice before embarking a journey to Canada ??.

Hello, fellow Indians. Do not complain about racism or discrimination in foreign countries. You or your elders have worse racist and Apartheid practices inside India against fellow Indians like Dalits, Muslims, lower castes etc. Stop being hypocritical.

Nothing is hidden because of social media. Criminal activity like drugs , burglary and car hijacking is rapidly increasing.\nIt is not safe for local Canadians then think who will protect Indian immigrants.\nRise in Racism because of political instability is another reason to be worried about.\nIllegal immigrants and refugee without background verification are settled with govt monetary support. It is from the tax of the public they running such programs.\nI saw India girls are easily getting targeted for sexual favour and live in relationships as no relatives to look after.\nHigh Taxes.\nIf any parent deciding to apply for education loan please rethink current scenario is difficult later blaming kids is of no use…

I think Indian govt's stance is best in this case.\n'Give us a list of our people you want to deport, give us proofs why you think they are illegals, and we will arrange for the planes ourselves, no questions asked. You won't even have to bother about transporting them, just bring them to the air port, we will fly them back.'.\n\n\nAnyways Indian govt had been warning Canada about this migration for past 8 years. Literally imploring them to not take these guys in. They aren't running away from persecution, they are running away from prosecution. But sadly Canada became a safe haven for criminals in India to run and hide into. Now don't blame India or Indians for it. We warned you, we had a spat with you. You lectured us how free and democratic you are and how your doors are open to all. NOW SUFFER.\n\nFor the Americans.....i don't feel a thing. They are mostly racists bunch (liberals more than conservatives, but yeah 99 percent of them are pure vile racists). I enjoy watching their country undergoing a very slow implosion right Infront of our very eyes. Trump is a good and capable leader. But what can he really do? His main voter base (which actually did not matter in the elections, it was the minority votes which tilted the scales) is simply uneducated, uninformed, racists. I don't know if they are inherently racist or that racism is born out of ignorance to begin with. But it is what it is. And the othtrr side is loony. ?. You have hate filled racists on one side and crazies on another. That country is destined to be doomed. I hardly find any centrist sane individual who can actually get over the superficial racial or identity stuff and actually talk policies in depth. Both sides are like... For us or against us. What can Trump even do with such population base. They have to import people to keep their quality on top... Else they are done for within next 200 - 250 years.

Additionally, if anything is not going their way, they complain about racism and why Canadians don’t understand their culture. Yet, they have no interest in learning about and adapting to Canadian culture. Many brought with them the ways of dealing with people and doing business that are often very shady and Canadians are forced to adapt to them. I support immigration as it adds to the diversity of our culture. However, when 80% of the permanent residence VISA were issued to Indians last year, that’s not diversity. We don’t want to become India 2.0.

This is addressed mainly to the ugly Indian: My generation came to the racist west and built a golden reputation. We worked hard, assimilated, paid our taxes, and obeyed the laws. We were humble. We celebrated our native cultures within the confines of our communities. While it was frustrating to be invisible in white culture, we never sought to conquer them with our culture. We were ethical to the hilt. Our generations were poor -- yet we struggled to help others in India and in the west. We were NEVER on the dole. Personally I think it is rude to enter a nation (in the west or anywhere in the world) with naked opportunism. Speaking for myself -- despite neocolonialism, I admired western civilization, especially its older forms. \n \nBut the ugly Indian who comes now is loud, brash, socially irresponsible, exploitative, money-hungry, opportunistic, and arrogant beyond belief (full of the hubris that comes from sudden new wealth). They look down on us who have been here a while. They are used to a servant-culture and look down on white working class people, as if they are servants. As for second generation Indians in the west, they can be racist towards us first generations. But the opposite is true as well. Indian newcomers see them as an alien species. Indians do tend to hire their own and stick to their own identities -- I do not mean the Indian identity, but their native state identities. All this feeds into the primary and secondary forms of western racism that are already simmering beneath the surface. This new genre of Indians is destroying the goodwill we have built. I have personally witnessed arrogant young Indian students cutting the line to reach the front desk. No manners, no ethics. As a first generation Indian immigrant I get annoyed. So why shouldn't native born westerners (who are already racist)? \n \nBut to complain about how they smell is rude beyond belief. This must stop.

Indians still suck up to white-skinned Westerners because of some messed-up inferiority complex, blowing all their savings and assets in India just to get disrespected by a white dude. They trash-talk India while hyping up Western countries, and honestly, I've got zero sympathy when they face racism-they totally had it coming.

Oh cmon!! Indian don't fell ashamed calling foreign ladies 6k in India now when they face racism they cry and post over internet.

Canada is a poor country , India has 7% growth economic per year for 17 837 billions dollars american and in 2035 for 25 0000 billions , white Canadian who has racism on indian canadian DON'T GO IN INDIA AT INDO ARYANS , you will have a lot of problems ???

Canada needs to pause immigration for now as the overwhelming numbers have diluted Canadian identity. The excessive immigration policies, driven by the Liberal government, have had a significant impact. This isn’t about racism, but the sheer number of Indian immigrants has created an imbalance. To preserve Canadian identity, it’s essential to halt Indian immigration for at least the next five years.

its not just indians. it happens to everyone INdian once again USing racism to push for more Indian privilege. also some INdian Visa applicant don't provide proper documents.

It’s racism! Stop counting Indians.

This is mad. This lady here goes down to the Oxford union debate in the UK and she said that indians globally are flaunting their passport, and now she is telling indians are being rejected by visa due to some bullshit reasons. The hard fact is that Indians are so fed-up with their country that they go to any where illegally and countries are scared of them, tbh that's what indians are doing as there is no jobs no opportunities here for them. The Henley pasport index ranks countries passports based on how many visa free visits are allowed for a countries passport and has nothing to do with paper works and racism. Such an hypocrite she is.

Indians are hypocrites. It costs an arm and a leg ($590) to be precise to get an indian visa from Nigeria and we are rejected alot. This amount is more than a schengen visa by more than half. Its crazy. I actually blame my fellow Nigerians that wanna travel there and i don't care for the reason. I rather go to Afghanistan that $hit-dia.\nYou guys are racist yet you mourn about racism.

If you vote Donald Trump and Republican Party you deserve racism and visa rejection for Indians from Republican MAGA America.

First of all ,Save India from Indians, our ancestors gave us the beautiful land and people destroying this..then they decided not to stop here going to foreign land, showcasing their insensible and unethical behaviour making the whole civilisation embarrased, not following the laws, disturbing other societies.. and holding fake proud of showing off ..and always blames the authorities who are doing good..whts the meaning of 5th largest economy and growing infratsructure if our country still hold 84th passport rank ..Plus an average indian with an uncivilised behaviour representing in foreign land responsible for embarrassment of 1.3 billion people..learn some civic sense and you wont be the reason for racism dont ashamed whole civilization think about our ancestors, respect the law, contribute in economy and be bring peace wherever you go..and thanks for contributing in foreign remittance we are 4th largest

Well, Indians have a talent for uncultured public behaviour. Till people learn to be civic, India will never move forward & will always remain as a most hated country where even racism against Indians has become a norm for majority of countries.

We should also start rejecting foreign person visas in equivalent proportions..especially when other countries are intentionally rejecting visas of good knowledgeable and well to do Indian people/ bright students. This is racism

Palki maybe if you are not a godi adani RSSBJP spokesperson .you might one day do some real journalism. Not every issue has pro nationalist agenda. Go see how these students and Indian tourist behave ,It’s disgusting and appalling . No manners ,they are rude .do not follow , local laws and regulations. Let’s not even mention lack of hygiene. \nThis is why many countries like Australia,UK ,Europe Canada are clamping down on Desi indians..and the Indian immigrants who are born or living in these countries for decades are facing racism .

We are still living in a world where cow is our Mother. Doesn't know the meaning of civic sense. Racism at the highest peak. Religion against Religion. With all this how can you expect others to respect, love indians ??? Wake up dear indians

And stop this racism and untouchability of not even allowing Indian visa applicants in India to enter embassy. This must stop.

The reason is also the Indians who come and break the law openly and without shame. There are consequences and pretending like it’s just racism isn’t going to solve the issue.

Palki, I'm a huge admirer of your journalism. Being a proud Indian and living in NZ from a decade I can say it's not just the equality.\nThe amount of frauds we do in our visa application just to enter a foreign land, I can speak on behalf of NZ, makes it difficult for the next batch of applications coming from that region.\nI won't label that with racism because every country has the right to protect its borders. NZ, Aus in particular has a strong and proud Indian diaspora with more and more Indians successfully coming in every year. But we India as a large population has one of the most number of applications which also increases the chancesl of rejection.
