This is play-pretend journalism. If they -actually- wanted to do real journalism and not some undeserved-guilt-provoking, race-baiting propaganda piece, they would have had to go the extra mile and cross-reference such behaviors with cold-hard statistics about crime convictions by ethnicity, showing that the discriminatory behavior is entirely based on racism and not on statistical risk. We're all virtue-signaling non-racists in front of the cameras but at the end of the day, when you're a clerk or a shop owner and you know those stolen items are going to come out of your paycheck one way or another, you have to face reality and analyze patterns in order to survive. Wherever those may lead you to. Sorry not sorry.

Cananda is tolerant, not inclusive. I’m a tiny black female and I’ve always carried myself a certain way because of my upbringing. However, I have been racially profiled my whole life. Thus, you can be ok with people being around you but it doesn’t mean that if you had a choice they would continue to remain there. We need to ask ourselves what makes a race more dominant than the other? \nThen, how did we come to this determination that a race determines a persons characteristics? \nRacism disgust me, maybe we should just all be blind lol.

discrimination happens with all races and both sexes .. depending on who's in charge

There is ONLY ONE RACE ,The HUMAN one.!!!Racism is one of the MOST STUPID ,DUMBEST ACTS of a Human Being on EARTH.!!!!??

?? Im from Ontario Canada and have always worked management in retail. I've always taught any employees in any department that if you see anyone lingering for any longer than 5 minutes, black, white, or any race for that matter to ask if they need assistance! Again I don't care the color, race, most people that come into a store have come in and know what they're looking for! When I see a customer looking for longer than 5 mins, it's just common practise to ask if you need help. I'd suggest you's re-think this practise that we all are taught in stores

I totally agree with you Lloyd Douglas and his column black in Canada. I find it to be swept under the carpet as far as racism is concerned, they smile in front of you but behind you they Stab you in the back .well the Americans is right up front I can work with you but I won’t socialize with you, at least you’re truthful.\n\n I find Canadians to be very two face , Hidden they true feeling and pretend a lot . I have experienced the first time in my life racism was within Canada and it brought me to tears. I live in America for so many years no one had ever call me the N word , I never felt so humiliated and lower my self-esteem. So when I was coming to this country they say it was multicultural but that don’t mean black. Even the so-called people they call them selves Brown consider black people as nothing but I am here to say we are something , we are the future , embrace us , celebrate us , and accept us.there are good people and bad people in every race. ?

White people always think they are special race on this planet..

A lot of mixed race children,have the dual complexities abroad,but in African countries they are mostly cherished or revered ,especially the female.

its not racism its just how the world works currently\nfor example using something other than race\ncar parks on side of the road. car opens door, unseen bike rider gets angry that the car opened the door in his riding path.\nsame bike rider gets to a red light with people crossing. runs the red light swerving through people but sees no problem with that though.\npeople just self centered. everyone chooses a side and only argues for that side. argues against the other side. can never do anything wrong in their own eyes but watches everyone else telling them they are wrong

If this is the case no one should ever go out and travel outside of their country. I would get tired looking at the same skin color if no other races is allowed in a country. Don’t be selfish!

First lets define racists what the definition means to me It is when a person discriminates against a race of people .Many people use the word to get attention or use it when they do not get their way so i am defining the diffenition meaning see we back for me in early 1960s discriminated against black people so the word became racists laws were passed to protect and change that discrimination that took place so has it changed yes it has

There's racism in ever country. The biggest racism is coming from the left that constantly demonize the caucasian race. White kids get bullied as well, and CBC should also be talking about the discrimination by the leftist government that are are giving the majority of jobs to non whites and don't care about the qualifications the job applicants have. CBC is biased ,and funded by the left. Why don't you go to stores owned by non whites and see the racism and discrimination as well. I have first hand experience being called a Kufar.

I’m a Deputy Sheriff full time and an auto mechanic part time. It’s not just race. I’ve noticed “extra attention” when wearing my grubby clothes in stores.

I think of all races equal \nI think there awsome

Growth can come from discomfort\nIf you feel uncomfortable, explore why maybe you'll learn something new about yourself, others and the world especially if you have advantages that others might not have, this isn't just related to race

I try to tell people what he's doing, and no one believes me. They're in complete denial over this. This is the only outlet that shows the corruption and Im shocked he hasn't paid youtube to shut you down. All he does is exploit other races to make himself look better... at the cost of Canadians health even. You can't virtue signal if everyone is sick.

Let's face the reality. Discrimination is a fact of life whether it's legal or not. But it's not all about race. Anyone can be discriminated against because of the way they look, act, dress, even the way they walk and talk. You can have two people from the same ethnic group and they can have a totally different experience. For me, it's mostly positive. Not only it's positive, I felt I have an upper hand because of my race. If people like you, they will be color blind. If they don't, it doesn't matter what race you are. So please stop this type of racial dividing message. What you should promote is property etiquette in different cultures and help people become part of the melting pot and understand each other better so we can all get along.

There are racism and xenophobia....In ALL country against ALL RACES ..... I am white male and living in a Asian Country ...before in Africa Country ..... and both places i feel daily racism ...looked down at, and comment from people...but special from government , and will need to pay more for same things then local

Yet again confusing race with culture

They didn’t take in to account the race of the salesman or landlord. How about finding a black salesman or Asian salesman/ landlord. Hell go to South Africa racism as a white guy... good luck getting any service or not being discriminated. They have signs that say no white. Racism is everywhere in the world!

I took test,\nMine show i little to No preference between both race?I didn’t know i was that good\nAnd i am a brown middle asian.

Do not call it Racism call it reason by crimes commited by race in you do not believe me take a walk through a black neighborhood after dark then walk through a white neighborhood after dark no matter what color you are !

Just like most discussions about race, the tests depicted are shallow and lacking any deep thought on a complicated subject. Are you testing for early conditioning or real behavior issues. We are not Pavlov's dogs. With the occasional flash of rational thought we CAN recognize bias within ourselves and modify our behavior appropriately. Go back and try this again. Your bias about white folks bias is pretty biased.

I work with a variety of people from all races and ages in my field. I wonder how much of how people treat individuals have to do with how booked they are. Regardless of a person’s race, I notice that if I am short on time or have back to back appointments \n, that I am not as attentive or as interested in people. However, if I limit myself to three appointments a day, I am an attentive and genuinely want to do my best at my job. So, because I know this about myself, I choose to limit my schedule to three appointments a day unless I absolutely cannot prevent it. I am a minority, too, and have been profiled left and right. My husband is Caucasian and thinks it’s in my head, but he can look like a bum and not be profiled whereas if I am not dolled up going to the store, you better believe I know not to put my hands in my pockets.

livin with all races thogether is againts nature so racism is natural

im white and ive been followed in shops dosens of times and pulled over by the police probably close to 50 times.\ndont make it just about race fs.

Race isn't always why people are profiled.\nI'm white but not so pretty to look at and I get harassed all the time, I've been asked to empty my bag, remove my coat and even told to leave.

T I R E D of the race card B/S. It''s been played until it no longer has a face.

Now send a teenager to these places and have them do the same thing. Any race.\nAlso, something was wrong with that racial biases test. It's supposed to change both the race AND the associated word between each photo, otherwise you don't have to read both. The test as administered can't be passed and its results don't have any meaning otherwise. You have to mix up all three things, the photo, the race word, and the associated word, or else it doesn't function correctly. The applicability of the test itself also fails if you don't adjust it to a baseline, as the idea of a 'zero bias' human being simply doesn't exist. Getting your bias down to the level of random noise is the best any human being can do, regardless of their own race.

The sad thing is, there is a lot of crime committed by certain races and people have learned this so the good people in that race suffer because of that

I’m mixed race. But I noticed with my darker friends that people will follow them and check their things before going into a change room

I am not black but always feel being watched in the store. It happens to all races

Have anyone very worked at a place where it is 95% one culture? The people always stack the deck against them it doesn't matter your race.

Maybe the mangers just don’t want nerdy or creepy looking guys in their building ... nothing about race

It's the Ureopian race they racist

This is such a ridiculous video. Especially the implication that other races are less biased than whites. Asian folks largely stick with Asian folks. Muslims often times only marry Muslims. Most black people in America admit to racial bias and there is a large amount of hate crime against white folks that is not charged that way because of their white skin. Almost everyone has cultural bias. As a matter of fact I would make the argument that white folks are more likely to date and marry outside their race and Christians too.

White people are under pressure everywhere , if you’re White you can’t say nothing about your race or you don’t have a right to decide who’s going to be at your country .

I find it interesting that they take a single guy of a specific ethnicity to represent them all. \nWhile studies have shown bias, this video here is nothing but race baiting

I was followed a couple times in stores by people of all different races so I mean it could happen to anybody.

I loved this. I have always wanted to move to Canada and wondered about race relations. More importantly I think it is important to be honest about the struggles we all face everywhere. Nothing in this made me want to not visit Canada or think that ALL Canadians think a certain way...it was just information. Not all information is information you need to act on, but it is important for information to make you think.

If you hide your face in the west we get suspicious.. it's not because of your race because you were it because of religion.. but anyway we are just not used to it and your dressed like what we portray on tv in movie etc as a robber a bad guy

Being black in Canada is hard. I completely dislike White supremacy and any white person who is sensitive to talk about race is racist simple, they don't want to admit about there white privilege.

Racism exists with other races as well that hire their own. White is not the dominant culture or ethnicity in some large cities in Canada and those people are hiring their own and not blacks. Every race discriminates against blacks as sad as it may sound. It’s not just blacks. Some bank branches , offices and stores have all south Asian people working there

Meanwhile as a black Haitian woman I can care less if someone does like me or following me inside the store. I’m good at ignoring people as long as they don’t put their hands on me, they can say whatever they want to say it’s their freedom of speech. At the end of the day they will feel like a moron not me. Ignore people and give them silent treatment it’s always best for me. As long as I love each and every race then I’m good.

trash. race war perpetuation.

To be honest, this whole video seems so biased. I couldn't watch it past the 10 minute mark.\n First of all, if the white guy had been the first to tell the manager that he was interested in the apartments, then of course that same manager is going to tell the 2nd person (asian guy) that the availability is limited. He already HAS a potential renter, why would he need more? The 1st guy already chose one of the apartments, so of course the Asian guy would have less options.\nSecondly, and I'm sorry to say this, but statistically there are more black shoplifting cases than with any other race. It's sad, but true. These retailers are just trying to protect their assets, and it's their right.\nThirdly, that lady was in the wrong, for one, because if a security person is asking to inspect your purse on THEIR retail grounds and you have nothing to hide, then why are you being uncooperative? That just makes you look worse.

Originally from the Philippines here and once a homeless man told me to go back where I came from. I'm actually surprised he said that, I’m just a passerby.\n\nIt hurts a bit but then I moved on. I think racism is everywhere. People just don’t have the time and mental energy to understand and know each other, I guess.\n\nThat is why I’m telling my son to have a good solid ground of resilience (aka not be to be a snowflake). Life is too short to wallow on this. We came to Canada as immigrants, do not except everyone to treat you like a first class citizen. But the way you act, the way you do, and how you treat people around you may earn you respect regardless of your color, race or creed.

Well, I mean this isn’t racism. It’s just reality, cause statistically black people stole from my shop more than any other race and I’m black.

Its not as blatant as is used to be. But it's more of an indifference. I'm a landlord and I've rented out to Puerto Ricans, Blacks, and they were the greatest tenants. I've also rented to whites. I don't discriminate. I just go to a realtor and they find the best tenants. Stop looking at race!

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.
