Is this more of a US / Canada thing? How is it in Australia? I ask because I have never experienced this in the UK ( brown Asian for reference). I am wondering if it is more relaxed in the UK or If I am so lost in my own world that I don’t notice if the staff is following me. \n\nIn my experience, if you look lost, someone might casually ask you if you need help. Otherwise most retail staff seem to be busy with their own work and you have to interrupt their work to ask them something which always makes me feel a little bad.

Do you know I have been asked if am ok in the shops but never thought it might be because an black ? Now I know

I do think there is a classism element to this as well. If you don't look well off you might stand out too.. there are different types of privilege.

I feel for anyone being discriminated against, here its really hard to get an apartment if you are on assistance, ODSP. Is for disability of many types. All you need to do to see it is go on kijiji. Students and working individuals. And you might think they have their reasons but I have paid my bills. I am quiet, if that isn't discrimination. Enough said. That guy is a scared guy. Scared of change. But that is another discrimination , any woman who walks alone may be subject to unwanted attention. OK I'm done now! Much love to all.

And also one of the most expensive countries to travel and lodging. So might never travel here, will lose lots of hard earned money.

A day will come when the white race will be the most discriminated. The world is round. What goes around comes around. We might not see that day our future generations would

The unspoken assumption seems to be that racism is a white problem. Yet across the years I have listened to Black and Chinese people express opinions which, coming from a white person, would have meant a day in court charged with the willful promotion of hatred.\n\nFurthermore, the young woman who has difficulty with people asking where she is from might want to consider the possibility that the other party is genuinely interested in learning more about her as a person. I am a white British-Canadian and am not in the least little bit offended when people ask me about my origins.\n\nIndeed, listening to immigrants and new Canadians share their life experiences and outlooks on things has gone a long way in shaping my own opinions as to how Canada can be a better country than it is now.\n\nCase in point; I have heard immigrants and new Canadians from nations as diverse as Jamaica, Trinidad, Nigeria, Ukraine, and the Philippines compare childrens' education in Canada with children's education in their countries of origin. Guess which looks better. Hint, hint, it isn't Canada.\n\nFolks, we need to be listening.

Umm blacks do all the same stuff and then just deny it.. Whats the difference? Get every race to stop being racist and we might have a chance at better life. Oh and btw....I am black.

While the Muslim thing might make some people feel bad an let me say this by no means, I'm I taking up for what these people said. Jesus said live even our enemies an that's what I am going to do \n\nWhile I do not agree with what they said. Their is one thing for sure. When something happens you don't hear muslims coming out condemning what has happened that much. An people are angry at what some do \n\nWhen you don't see any one coming out to call out people for what they have done or saying anything at all. Mostly what you see is people clapping a cheering. This is the divide an why people are mad.\n\nThey believe what they are seeing an for a good reason.

Eliminate racism at its root cause. As long as crime rate by race is disproportionate, people with common sense are going to stereotype.\nTry test this by walking into detroit when you are black, white and asian.. some might not literally survive.

As a Property Manager you know who destroys apartments. It's not 100% but it's real close. If you're not sure, call the last landlord they had, but they might not tell you the truth just so they can get rid of them.

You shud try singapore,everyone is nice here,but drivers might be impatient ,that is all?\nMalay english chinese everyone you can think of ,wont be judged by.

ITS FUNNY THAT HE WANTS TO APOLOGIZE MIGHT BE BECAUSE HES CANADIAN 18:30

I've been followed in a store before, that was the last time I saw that old lady in the store. it was a respectful place and I think she was acting in her own and she might have done that a lot and they fired her. ( the store manager was black .. )

I wouldn't give money to someone wearing a niqab also. It might be a personal choice to wear it or not, but it also leans more to extremist in my views than not. wearing a hijab isn't that bad, but a niqab is usually found in extremist mentality.

I'm white, and in certain stores, with overzealous sales assistance, I might get approached more than that black guy was... but I don't have to question whether its targeted, it's got to be a burden on your shoulders.

Well you can make as much excuses as you want but Canada is just a better country in contrast to USA you might says who ? Well the rest of the world ?

2:45 I might be wrong but pizza comes from Italy

Vice news unfortunately is quite Shallow. The war in Mexico does not get reported by the Mainstream media including Vice News. ..What war you might ask.?? Well look it up? It's real..Jesus Christ loves us All. March 20, 2020..

It might be helpful to check out what Brigit Gabriel has to say about islam.

The only media who has the balls to report the truth ...Justin you Moran you lier you don’t close the boarder you allow these people who might be carrying the virus... you allow people from China Italy Nd Iran but no screening or thermal camera use our tax money to buy a cavers Moran

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

Not only they might bring you some of COVID19 (on top of every other bug that they probably carry around). They will screw up your welfare system. To think that one machine gun can resolve the issue...

I got a question. Roxham Road has been determined to be an irregular boarder crossing. That would continue to be true if they were processing people in a tent. Now that our Government has constructed a permanent building I might suggest this is no longer an irregular boarder crossing.

Maybe Canada, or a private citizen/group, should sue Clinton County of New York State for creating a health hazard for Canadians by allowing illegal immigrants to travel to the illegal border crossing. It might seem petty but it just might prompt some type of reaction.

No we arent, but they might be.

Clothing does not make you a better Muslim. For them to say that is ignorant. They might want to open there minds. Praying or going to church does not make you a better Jew, Christian, or of any religion. A lot of western countries believe and practice freedom of religion. Covering ones face is not part of religion. All religions are man made. They all push a narrative.

Bro I get asked if I need help everytime o go to Best Buy they are dope there and when you’re just killing time trying to look like you’re really looking for something, they justtty might see you struggling and ask

God this documentary is so flawed. The symphony? Really? You are comparing the 50s from today? There were much less immigrants in Canada back then. There were less immigrants and ppl of color that played instruments. And those that did, less of them actually tried out for a symphony. And then the blind resume test totally proved no bias. In fact I think it might be the opposite. I’m American (but I have a horribly foreign name). Americans looking for jobs, I think, eh... another goofball lazy American. But if I see a foreign name, I assume they might be more serious and work harder because of old school family values.

Sometimes it is our own feeling. Might be a little bit depending on individuals, but overall Canada is much batter than any other country on this earth.

Then why don’t you have a guy wearing a mask over his face people might not be favorable to masks it doesn’t mean it’s racism at the mask everyone for the test again no control to your experiment you’re dumb just like I may get treated differently if I have a biker outfit on then a suit and a tie it doesn’t mean it’s racism or clean-shavenVersus a beard

The only problems I can see with blind recruitment is, the person's application might be accepted, but if they have to interview in person they can still be rejected. Of if it is a phone interview and you have an accent you might not make pass it. Even if you get hired with blind recruitment and not interview is required, once you start working, if you are a minority some employers might look for ways to fire you. So it's a good concept, but still needs a little tweaking.

Thos kind of shit makes me think that Soviet enforced atheism might have a point

Psychology student here. In the interest of accurate information, I would like to point out some flaws I find with some of the studies in this documentary and question the conclusions reached. I understand that CBC Marketplace are not personality psychologists and therefore cannot be expected to produce the same quality of work as a scientist. However, I think it is worthwhile to think critically about the information in the media that we consume. I am also open to anyone who wants to engage in debating the contents of this documentary.\n\n\nThe following are some notes I took while watching the documentary outlining the individual hypotheses of the studies I think are flawed and descriptions of their respective accompanying errors. \n\n\nThere are three possible research questions, and thereby dependent variables, being answered by the apartment hunting studies.\n1. If there is no discrimination between the white man and the first-nations man, then they should get equal treatment, including quotes and availability, when apartment hunting. \na. Could the gender of the landlord be a confounding variable (perhaps men are more discriminatory than women)? \n \n2. If there is no discrimination between the white man and the first-nations man between Toronto, Montreal, Regina, and Victoria, then they should get equal treatment, including quotes and availability, when apartment hunting. \na. Could total apartments visited be a confounding variable? (4 in Toronto, 3 in Montreal, Regina, and Victoria) \nb. Could the gender of the landlord be a confounding variable (perhaps men are more discriminatory than women)? \nc. They only showed the black man apartment hunting in some of the trials. I am considering him out of the study for consistency purposes. The first-nations man is the only one who got unfair treatment in the footage of apartment hunting. \n \n3. Possible hypothesis: If male landlords/agents are more discriminatory than female landlords/agents, then the white man and the first-nations man will get different treatment at different Canadian apartments in equally diverse cities. \na. Don’t know all the information about the genders of the landlords/agents, not all the footage is shown, but the ones where they get ripped off are male. The others shown are female. The remaining interactions are not shown.\n\n\nThere are also some factors that may have influenced the racial bias survey and, in my estimation, rendered it scientifically unreliable.\n\n\n1. The bias survey and accompanying tests at the CBC attributed the differences between the studies to unconscious racism. What if it was just due to familiarity with certain racial groups over others? \na. The black participants had no bias between European-American and African Americans, supposedly indicating no racism, while the white and first-nations participants did, supposedly indicating racism. Is it possible that another interpretation of this result is that bias is a function of familiarity: that we are comfortable with the majority demographic in the geographical location we live in, as well as our own kind. Therefore, the black guys are less biased against black people due to being both black and living in a white majority demographic? \nb. The participants took the survey knowing the objectives of the researchers was to study racial discrimination. They might have influenced the answers they gave \nc. Whether the participants agreed with identity politics or not was a confounding factor that was not controlled . You can only be racially unbiased biased if you think that racial identity is a means of accurately viewing the world. People who do not believe in the existence of identity politics may answer the questions quite differently, which could be a different reason for the results.\nd. I took the study myself. The words that participants were required to match were a mix of adjectives and nouns. It is known within psychology that nouns have higher levels of imagery. This was not properly controlled and therefore is another confounding variable. \n \nAll the other studies looked fine to me. I welcome any discussion on my observations.

That lady who had slight preference to African Americans might not be telling us the full story why.??

I'm a professional shoplifting I can get almost anything from any store across Britain.. if I wanted\nThe funny thing though.. when I've decided to buy a Sony headphones MDR Z7 for 500£ and paid for\nThe trouble started on the very next day, when I decided to return and exchange to something else in the dept store, due to my wife complaining, they question me why i paid cash and not paid with my debt card, these Muslim lady might don't like me because I'm a Christian and wearing my cross.\nAnyway after awhile she told me I used the product and she would ask me to leave the w/o my product that I paid for and have my receipt as proof of purchase..\nAlso the store already says you can return anything with 90 days.. pure Bs\nI called the police to get my headphone back..

I might be disciminated just because of my skin color I'm not white.\n\nI might record if I get harrased

I hate to say this but...looking at some mid-eastern women, it just might be better that they keep themselves covered.

For almost 150 years the Liberal Left has been conducting an experiment. The subjects of the experiment: African people and working-class whites. The hypothesis to be tested: Can people taken from the jungles of Africa and forced into slavery be fully integrated as citizens in a majority white population?\n\nThe whites were descendants of Europeans who had created a majestic civilization. The former slaves had been tribal peoples with no written language and virtually no intellectual achievements.\n\nActing on a policy that was not fair to either group, the government released newly freed African people into a white society that saw them as inferiors. America has struggled with racial discord ever since.\n\nDecade after decade the problems persisted but the experimenters never gave up. They insisted that if they could find the right formula the experiment would work, and concocted program after program to get the result they wanted.\n\nThey created the Freedman’s Bureau, passed civil rights laws, tried to build the Great Society, declared War on Poverty, ordered race preferences, built housing projects, and tried midnight basketball.\n\nTheir new laws intruded into people’s lives in ways that would have been otherwise unthinkable. They called in National Guard troops to enforce school integration. They outlawed freedom of association. Over the protests of parents, they put white children on buses and sent them to African schools and vice versa.\n\nThey tried with money, special programs, relaxed standards, and endless hand-wringing to close the “achievement gap.” To keep white backlash in check they began punishing public and even private statements on race.\n\nThey hung up Orwellian public banners that commanded whites to “Celebrate Diversity!” and “Say No To Racism.”\n\nNothing was off limits if it might salvage the experiment.\nSome thought that the Talented Tenth would lead the way for African people. A group of elite, educated Africans would knock down doors of opportunity and show the world what Africans were capable of. There is a Talented Tenth. They are the African Americans who have become entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors and scientists. But ten percent is not enough. For the experiment to work, the ten percent has to be followed by a critical mass of people who can hold middle-class jobs and promote social stability. That is what is missing.\n\nThrough the years, too many African people continue to show an inability to function and prosper in a culture unsuited to them.\n\nDetroit is bankrupt, the south side of Chicago is a war zone, and majority-black cities all over America are beset by degeneracy and violence. And Africans rarely take responsibility for their failures. Instead, they lash out in anger and resentment. Across the generations and across the country, as we have seen in Detroit, Watts, Newark, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, and now Ferguson, rioting and looting are just one racial incident away.\n\nThe white elite would tell us that this doesn’t mean the experiment has failed. We just have to try harder. We need more money, more time, more understanding, more programs, more opportunities. But nothing changes no matter how much money is spent, no matter how many laws are passed, no matter how many African geniuses are portrayed on TV, and no matter who is president.\n\nSome argue it’s a problem of “culture,” as if culture creates people’s behavior instead of the other way around. Others blame “white privilege.” But since 1965, when the elites opened America’s doors to the Third World, immigrants from Asia and India–people who are not white, not rich, and not “connected”–have quietly succeeded. While the children of these people are winning spelling bees and getting top scores on the SAT, African “youths” are committing half the country’s violent crime–crime, that has nothing to do with poverty.

Peasants from El Salvador or Mexico need to learn English when entering the Queens realm. They shouldn’t be allowed in anyway, immigration should only be for educated people and wealth/ job creators and skilled people where the country is short. Most of these peasants immigrants might be law abiding but because of their socio-economic standing they bring half of the dregs of their society with them

Why dont you jus keep on sayin in english continuously?. \nSee most of the viewers might be watchin this vodep in the pretext of or nterested in moving to canada and some part among them might be not familiar wid hindi.

♥️ thank you for vids like this, bring more awareness and reminding ppl to stand up for those who cant for the fear of what might happen to them.

White chick with dreadlocks??? Hmmm one might say that’s cultural appropriation is it not? Lmaooo ?

How do you think a white person might be treated in a country that is predominantly black?

I have worked at Best Buy and when we see a customer not being helped we have to come and ask if they need or we can get in trouble. It could also be a secret shopper who is there to test how long it takes for someone to come to help. In the end we also want to help so we can upsale extra items that the customer might forget to buy.

if you deal with me, a canadian (albertan tbe) girl, i dunno i might just hug ya i need it rn

In any country you might see some people who are rude, sick or useless. Not very strange for me
