one day. people will qualify for apartments regardless of race gender ethnicity and sexual prefrence

Ive never been Racialy profiles for my race but I did for being french speaking instead of english.

I truly hope most of the racists in these comments don't ACTUALLY live in Canada, because that would be surely disappointing. Hopefully they're just American racists who go from video to video regarding race and commenting on them. Just disgusting.

Race is more than skin colour

Remember, this is by the same CBC that put out a casting call for any race, except Caucasians. I know the CBC likes to live in their Toronto-centric bubble where white people are a minority, but the rest of Canada is still overwhelmingly white.\n\nAnd if police were actually allowed to keep race-based stats still, it would show why certain races are profiled. \nMultiracial societies simply do not work.

the woman at 20:00 doesn't look any particular race. if anything she looks like a white woman who's had way too much plastic surgery

There is no race problem in Canada worth mentioning, if anything there is reverse racism going on in Canada against whites, the culture of political correctness. Whites are routinely discriminated against due to affirmative action and quota's that many companies now have, if a company has 10 available spots, 2 will go to whites, the rest will go to Asians and Blacks, that is simply the reality, but no CBC would never dare to mention this would they. Leftist propaganda BS

What's very interesting here in America ,i have heard white person say go back to the country that you came from then they assumed it was from Africa. But the person saying the statement was acting if America was where his ancestors are from. Not ever mentioned that whites came here to America from Europe. The native American Indians, America is there true home of their ancestors according to history. Not white Europeans who's ancestors came from where. So how can a mis-inform white person think for a minute think that they are more intitled to a country over any other person of any race ?Someone explain to me. Probably another white person who feels the same that this is their country and doesn't belong to any other race ?

Canada is so far ahead in dealing with a true multi race society! Wow!!! It's impressive! Other countries should only hope to get near to this standard. Canada is not all the way there yet but if they continue trying like this. Wow!!!

Religion is NOT A RACE. Why can't you fools get this through your head. ALL IDEAS ARE OPEN TO CRITICISM.

we must be mindful of Canada to close to home my concern are not with race as islam is not race based but the idiology of a consitution of colonization and eradication of all non Muslims in the world ....wake up America and the world !!!!!!

Racial profiling is a myth. It's unfortunate an entire race must pay the price but when the majority is committing the crime the innocent few are irrelevant. These are the facts. One comment blamed white people but a lot of these people shown making remarks to the woman collecting money were not white. The refugees are a strain on the welfare system and people are tired of supporting them. Maybe the borders should be closed.

All contrived. The end result is determined before the camera starts shooting. Its not just race, although its one of the liberal presses favorites. They do it with everything that might have an opinion slanted to suite them. Coming in a close second is migration. These people have no idea what journalism is.

Colour is not a race.

lol people its 2016 why racism still exist ? i am white btw and what ever your color or race who cares as long as you are good to others lol

Shoppers is a very paranoid store and I don't think has anything to do with race.

More greivance mongering and race baiting hysteria from the notorious CBC. \nWaste my tax dollars a little more you regressive twats.

Race-baiting garbage.

Culture isn't a race...

No matter what race, age, or gender, you will look suspicious aimlessly walking around a retail store for 20-30min without asking for help by anyone. In my experience in retail, 80%+ of shoplifters will walk around the store for 20-30min, look at all different products throughout the isles, will not ask for help, and will leave without purchasing anything. If you do this in a retail store, it will look suspicious. This is what we are trained to look for.

First divide them and, then conquer. Football teams, sexual flags, gods and politics, they have to forget they are HUMANS and, supposedly in charge of their race destiny.

PRESIDENT OBAMA's VISIT TO MOSQUE.\nHE WROTE ON HIS TIMELINE.\nToday, I had the privilege of visiting the Islamic Society of Baltimore, a mosque that serves thousands of Muslim\nAmerican families. Like houses of worship across our country, it's a place where neighbors come together to pray, a school\nwhere students learn, and a health clinic where volunteers serve their community. My visit was a chance to celebrate the\ncontributions that Muslim Americans make to our country every day and to reaffirm the founding ideals that keep our nation strong, including the freedom of religion.\nGenerations of Muslim Americans have helped build our country as farmers, merchants and workers on Henry Ford's assembly line. They're the teachers who inspire our kids, and the nurses and doctors whom we trust with our health. They're scientists who win Nobel Prizes and young entrepreneurs creating new technologies. They're the champions we cheer for – from Muhammad Ali to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. They're the police and firefighters who keep us safe, and the men and women in uniform who have fought and bled and died for our freedom.\nRight now, though, many Muslim Americans are worried because threats and harassment against their community, their families and their children are on the rise. But we are one American family, and an attack on one faith is an attack on all our faiths. When any religious group is targeted, we all have a responsibility to speak up. We need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion. At a time when others are trying to divide us along religious lines, we have to\nreaffirm that most fundamental truth – that we are all God's children, all born equal with inherent dignity.\nI want every Muslim American who may be wondering where they fit in to know that you're right where you belong - right\nhere, because you're part of America, too. You are not Muslim or American. You are Muslim AND American. I want every American to know that Muslim communities are standing up for peace and justice as well. That's the spirit I felt on my visit today. And I'm absolutely confident that if we stay true to the values and ideals that bind us as one people, we're going to\nremain strong and united.

I can see westerners being freaked out by the women who cover their face. I myself was like wtf when I seen a women with covered face for the first time back in northern Virginia, and I am from Ethiopia - a country that has a big Muslim population, more than 30%. We live among Muslims peacefully, because we respect our differences, but the ones back home do not really cover their face so I was not used to it. Really we should do better than creating differences, there is no better race or religion, all humans are the same, we all practice the 7 deadly sins religiously. and all the people commenting saying they hate Muslim and what it stand for, what religion are you because the Bible teaches compassion, it does not say to hate what you don't understand.

The more i learn about islam the more i feel a bit sorry for those pore people. How can a whole race of people be so so sooo dumb.. Im not saying like totally stupid but seriously misguided in a major major major... way. I wouldnt even saY they are mentally retarted because the mentaly handicapped can be helped and they do make sense unlike muslims.

May Vlad Putin, nuclear bake, your whole race

Very inspirational, for all men and fathers in Canada, regardless of race... thanks!

this is propaganda to create hatred to divide human race to make Christian against Muslim, most Islamic extremist backed by US intelligence, they show bad things like Muslim as extremist backed by them self, they never show good things like Qatar Muslim county is the richest country in the world, Extremist is only 1 percent of population, can you make conclusion by seeing the 1 percent without see the 99 percent? use your brain to analyse this don't be stupid and believe everything you hear, don't be victim of manipulation, look the comment see how many people believe it how easy to manipulate people

To people who say That Canada is their country\nCanadian themselves are immigrants and they were immigrants once. Attacking natives and taking over their land is something that all Canadians should remember. Original Canadians are Natives.\n\nIf Canada hates Islam so much, why they allow Muslims to enter their country in the first place.\nif you allow religious people to live here, you should bear their religious and cultural practices as well. \n\nYou idiots don't know anything About Islam.just for few groups who were created by the west to ruin Islam's reputation, and for destruction of Muslim countries, You open your dirty mouth and throw out bad words at Islam with what ever dirt you taste. So educate yourselves and have respect for all religions regardless of race and language and get respect back. Canada is for everyone.

the day that muslims try to take over in canada is the day i start an underground army, and shit is really gonna hit the fan then. i will defend my nation to the death, its values and its ideals, and its laws, i will never allow a group or race or creed or ideology, or RELIGION, to destroy what our grandparents fought soo hard to build.

more white guilt propaganda bullshit. Im not a racist so don't brand me one, what I want is true equality which means that I'm not going to pander to minorities for the sole reason that they are minorities. The incessant complaining about stereotypes towards blacks is ridiculous, all races have their own stereotypes. If someone saw a well dressed black person heading into an office building they wouldnt think twice but if someone saw a young black kid dressed like a gangster,smoking dope and acting shady theyre going to think suspiciously of you and there is nothing wrong with that. stop making it about race when it has a lot more to do with how you behave and act. The drive to get more black people in positions over authority for the sake of diversity is itself racist, the best person for the job is the person who should be in office if 8/10 judges are white and they are in fact the best people for the job then their should be no desire to change such things, we need to evaluate the character of a person and not their race. So much bullshit in this video it would take me hours to pick it apart.

I'am sorry but out of all the muslims I meet or see 99.8% are Ass*****! They have a nasty attitude and where ever they go they accept to be treated as kings and queens! And the way muslim guys talk to the women(not just muslim women) but any race makes me cringe! They have no respect for there own family or the people around them. And that one percent of muslims who are in every way awesome but most of them..Sory to say.are horrible people!

I hope these idiots in this video who claim to be Muslims watch this and read these comments to know what they have achieved. Shame on them. What they are doing is just what thugs do and then they have the audacity to attach Islam's name with it. Go to Pakistan and implement it there or better yet go to Burma or Gaza and liberate the Muslims there. But you won't coz you're cowards. Here you do it coz it's probably one of the most tolerant countries in the world to all races and religions.

Before black people can heal each other they have to heal themselves first. Black people are the only race that ive seen that fight over being lightskin and blackskin and its shameful

What a subtle way by the CBC of saying your restaurant isn't closing down because of your skin color, its because your food is too overpriced and the service sucks. The Chinese restaurant across the street is still going strong.\nStop pulling out the race card for everything.\n\nI'm not saying saying racism doesn't exist in Canada but saying your business is failing because you're black even though other minorities in the area aren't being discriminated against? Maybe you should reevaluate your service, pricing, and quality of the product instead.

Speaking as a white man I have to admit I don't quite understand the need for anyone to organize as a race in Canada. First generation clubs from whatever country, sure, but as a race? Is it the elephant in the room... American slavery?  I can't help but think that most perceived problems blacks have in Canada are due to American issues we see in movies and media.\nWe in Canada bend over backwards to offer opportunity to succeed. Even touching on racism is widely and loudly crushed. I personally, as do most, give any individual the opportunities they deserve but it's up to them to screw it up or not. To me, if any minority can't make it in this society they aren't trying.\nIt's actually worse in my mind to be white male in public forums because our views and opinions are marginalized and shouted down. Youtube and the internet are the few forums where honest feelings and opinions can be spoken. No one with anything to lose would say this in public for fear of attacks from the thought police. Pretty sad we live in a free country that actually doesn't allow free speech from all. I guess some are more free than others.\nKeep telling me I'm unfair and bad, when I'm not and I might actually grow resentment and the very prejudice you're complaining about.

My experience in Canada has been largely positive, with only minimal racial difficulties.  As a teenager, I do recall some kids making blatantly racist comments, when I was the only minority in the room; but they were silly girls, popular and full of themselves, and most of the students who heard did not laugh with them. We all knew it was wrong.  Another time I was told, by an agent, that a potential employer claimed she would not hire me because of my race.  I did not hear these words firsthand, though, so it was impossible for me to verify the truth. In the end, I let the matter alone. Other people,  I realize, have endured severe injustices; such have not been my experience, but this does not subtract from their reality.  Indeed, racism does exist, and shall remain as long as there are imbeciles wallowing in the mire of ignorance, people who cling to an absurd sense of superiority for lack of something more meaningful to hold.  As well--and it must be said!--quite likely, we all have, at some point, entertained discriminatory thoughts. 'Tis not a 'black and white' problem but a human one, and we must be mindful of it beginning with ourselves.  Canada, then, with its many inhabitants and complex history, will never be the exception. We can't expect perfection among people, here or anywhere else in the world.  Even so,  I believe there are enough fellow Canadians who strive to treat people as individuals and are happy to make friends across cultures.  My life has been and continues to be a testament to that!  Whatever our troubles, we still retain a proud heritage of diversity and progressive ethnic harmony.  We do try, and for this reason I love my country.  I am deeply patriotic and immensely proud to be part of it!  

so blacks play the race card in canada too, huh...  here's a thought:  there are many countries in the world where the majority are blacks.  it's almost like, instead of bitching about whites in white countries, you can move to black countries or return even to your motherland, africa so all the bitching can stop.  crazy concept, huh?

remember folks, to hate islam is not racist, islam is not a race people, it is an Ideology, so not even a religion.

Also, you could add, that you know very few Germans (if any at all) and you know even less Nazis but you can still work out that that worldview and political belief system is not conducive to a peaceful tolerant society.\n\nThe fact is, Islam is a serious problem in and of itself and it needs to be dealt with. Pretending that Islam is peaceful or pretending that criticism of an idea is the same as criticism of a person is not going to advance us as a race at all.

learn the difference between race and religion you illiterate fuck-knuckle

learn the defenition between race and religion you illiterate fuck-knuckle

No, no it wouldn't be a race war. It's about Islam not their ethnicity. There are Arab Christians who take great pride in being British and they would oppose these thugs. Actually it wouldn't be a war. It would be simply cleaning up the neighborhoods of Islamic bullies and cowards. I live very close to the main mosque in Denver and there are a lot of Muslims. Not once have I had any challenge me and I'm a 65 year old disable man. They need to know their limits in no uncertain terms.\nThomas

too true. should it take a race war to achieve this? starting to look that way.

No see they wouldn't work for them. Because if they went to one of those shit holes then there goes their benefits, free housing, education and healthcare. Islam is a cancer that has been in this country for long enough. \n\nThey know we're a soft touch and they can get away with whatever they like. The sad thing is the people in power who can put an end to all this bullshit and crack down harder on this people won't do anything because they're terrified of the race being pulled out.

Islam will always be here?\n\nYour bullshit religion is only 1400 years old, just a little blimp in the entire history of the human race.\n\nGet the fuck out of our countries, we don't want your bullshit religion in europe.\n\nAlso: Religion of peace? My ass. You can't even agree between your different cults (shia-sunni especially) and kill eachother, how the hell is islam a religion of peace when it orders to kill all non-believers.

As a moderate Brit, I fail to see how anyone with any brain cells can condemn a whole race of people like this. You are idiots to tar everyone with the same brush, and this is exactly how propaganda creates wars against innocent ordinary people,which, none of you are. You are a den of snakes.

Mentioning the KKK doesn't give any credibility to your comment and proves your own ignorance. The Ideology of islam is racist but please don't generalise, Africans did not cause this behaviour, these were Arabs!!! Those it's islam ideology that is the problem, not someones race.

Yeah see, exactly my point. It wasn't your choice. For all the problems of Bangladesh, you would be better off there. Wealth doesn't equal happiness.\n\nNote that my views formed WHILE I was in the UK - specifically after 16 as there was no sixth form locally and I had to go to the city to study. I'm sure you wouldn't like it either if Bangladesh started being overrun by people of other cultures (note that religion heavily integrates with culture, but culture is a problem too, as is race).

Don't be so fucking stupid. The Muslims are british too. This is about religion not race or nationality you moron.
