I have reported the video, wish youtube can delete that, it is misleading, and there are lots of racism and bullying

Im against illegal immigration but I see a lot of racism in the comments! Poor people in the US and Canada are lazy and that's why they are poor! They don't want to do hard work although they have very little education. This guy is a product of a corrupt country in Latin America that really doesn't have the economy to support anyone and they keep on voting for the same people that make promises every year

I'm Lithuanian and I lived in UK. I left because of racism. It's nasty when it is targeted at you but I get it. In London I was doing parking enforcement and all parking officers knew that you have to be very cautious with people of certain nationalities. I was racially profiling myself. It is nasty but that is the reality - some people are more dangerous than others. And it hurts a lot when you are trying to be a good human and being racially profiled yourself.

SO GLAD they did this experiment. Hope they do that here in Colorado as I experience LOTS of racism

There is a lot of BS in this video. Stores like Best Buy will always have employees come up to you and ask if you need help ESPECIALLY if you linger. Then there are some facts. My brother worked at a Sprint Retail store and tells me that 100% of the people caught stealing were blacks. So the black community can thank other blacks for the discrimination. \n\nAlso, if you are dressed a certain way, don’t complain if you are followed. \n\nIs there racism? Hell, yes! I’ve been victim of that myself. But some of the things shown here was just stretching.

Something that stuck out to me was that $1350 and $1360 in several common fonts will look similar, especially on a quick glance and in smaller sizes. It is entirely possible that the guy misread the number. I think it's telling that CBC decided it was subtle racism rather than giving the guy the benefit of the doubt. I know there's a lot of bad behavior documented here but that behavior isn't any better.

I have seen lots of racism but it is usually Chinese vs Japanese, Jamaican vs Africans, Punjabi vs white, french, black, arab...Ismaili vs anyone else, Muslim vs anyone else. I have also seen a lot of racism vs philipinos and mexicans even though they are the friendliness.

Considering our biggest taxpayer funded TV station did a special episode on it, I think we could do a lot worse as a whole when it comes to racism.

Canada is a worth less country with no Jobs and a lot of SNOW.........a lot of racism I used to work for a Canadian company.......they used to discriminate a lot.......does not matter who they were......Whites / Chines / Indians if you are Canadians you will show discrimination to other nationality///

I find that with each generation, the issue with racism becomes slightly less and less, which is great considering slavery was abolished only for about 100 years. I find that living in Canada as a black millenial is much better then say living in the 70s. I never faced racism the entire time i grew up here. but then again I haven't been everywhere in Canada. I think the most you'll experience here right now is indirect racism in the small towns. but you just have to show them who you really are and most will be OK. I don't think a lot of the people still have the mindset left in the 1900s. especially not in the major cities where its so diverse. but there's racism everywhere no matter what you look like. I hope everyone can look past appearance and stereotypes some day.
