Try having 3 white guys wearing differently and see if people will treat them differently... We are just normal human beings.. not Saints.. so racism, biases etc will always be there.. and the more we over react or being over sensitive, the more these issues will become obvious..

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

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.

Quite right ! If you go to any of their countries they treat you like crap .\nI wouldn't give anyone of colour my house to rent

I'm %100 European (Scottish, French, British, Irish, Welsh and Scandinavian. I had my DNA tested through four different companies) but because I have naturally very dark brown hair and brown eyes I have been treated differen, watched in stores, talked down to etc. I've had someone tell me I ''must be a dirty foreigner or something with my gross black hair.''

Crazy how they just brush off the ones that treat them the same. Ratings i guess

Wisconsin is the worst I will film it it sickening I doubt these people realize the end of the journey is near and when god asks how did u treat your fellow man. Hmmmm

Racism goes both ways I’ve been treated very bad because of my pale skin hair and eyes I’ve been called albino by people of colour and I’ve never and would never do that to them growing up in the uk in an area with a high Muslim community being beaten up at school ,there where places white girls just didn’t go I hated the way I looked I started to dye my hair black I wore baggy clothes and lots of layers but I couldn’t change my eyes I would alway walk with my head down so I know what it’s like to be treated differently because of colour

Seen how Arabs treat black people in the Middle East, I wouldn’t feel bad when they face the racism

Here in Vancouver it's been very cold the past little while and I can't tell you how many times I've been asked to empty my bag and pockets. I wear big jackets and a hat because it's DAMN COLD OUT. Everytime I walk into any store. (Grocery, retail, furniture..) they always stare me down and follow me. I'm white, female, and maybe I look sketchy to them but I don't care. I can't imagine how these people treat indigenous or black people in their stores. It's ridiculous.

Yet another race baiting agenda pushing program. I was public enemy no1 over the ira as a new age traveller here in the uk . Its all boll9x. Treat everyone you meet as you would like to be treated. . If they're wrong uns ... walk away.

I’m native Americans I git miss treated a lot

Journalist: “Do you feel offended?”\n\nLeland: “No, I feel jealous”\n\nMe:”? bullsh!t that people are treated like this!”\n\nMy heart:?\n\nMy soul:?\n\nAlso me: WHITE AF & oblivious 99% of the time, unless I feel pain via other people’s struggles, by watching things like this.

In surrey BC Sikh people are most respected and get first dibs on jobs etc... White People are the minority and are treated like ghosts

I have a problem with the word tolerance. Who are you to tolerate another person? Simply don't treat people differently from anyone else. Tolerance, implies a level of superiority, that you should allow another.

As an asian woman living in Europe for 14 years I faced a decent number of racism, which was a shocker to me coming from the country where we accept any race and I was never treated any different. At my university the very first time I faced racism was from my PROFESSOR! The only thing I felt was sorry for him and his shallow life. Racism prevents you from learning so much more in this world, you automatically limit yourself with your assumptions. So, to all the racists, I feel sorry for you and your sad life of hater and anger.

This is such bs. I’m so sick of news articles treating deportation like it’s some national sin. We’re supposed to feel bad that people get deported for living here illegally?! That’s what deportation is for! This chick is 30 she’s been here 18 years, if she was concerned about going through proper channels, she would have. The people who deserve to be here are the ones who have endured the process of doing it legally. The fact that someone can live here & own a business for years all while being here illegally is ridiculous. “Couldn’t they just go after criminals?” You were supposed to be deported over a decade ago! You are a criminal.

I think you will be treated the same as an European when finding apartment in Africa countries......They will definately charge you more.

Do we take the white guy to minority areas & see what happens? We already know that people get treated/ profiled against in Canada/America/ Mexico

This is a great video it's hard being a person of colour in even today's world. There is a lot of passive aggressive racism in the form of discrimination on a big scale. The thing about race is you can't really talk to white people about racism because they don't really experience it. I would like to see a social experiment to where white people go into predominantly minority areas and see how they get treated.

Curious how a white person would be treated in a predominantly black or hispanic country. Sure its easy to find when the population is predominantly white.

I am Living in Ottawa I am white, I lived here my whole life and now I am a minority I deal with different races all the time and I do feel that I am being pushed out of my country different ethnicities treat me with disrespect I was growing up with Canadian culture of respecting everyone around you but I fine with all these different cultures coming in I’m losing my Canadian identity and it is a lot for me to hold strong onto the values as of what the Canadian is and I’m a fourth generation Canadian I see what’s happening to our veterans I visit my grandfather every other week and I see all the different nationalities that are PSW‘s and nurses And I really mean no offence but we have a different level of respect we have a different way of talking and these different nationalities coming in they all click together and some of them they treat the men who built this country with such disrespect please listen to meand I’m really not Trying racially profile this is been happening for the last 15 years and I’m not being silent about it Canada is freedom of speech Canada is being strong enough to speak up I mean this from the bottom of my heart if you’re coming into my country that my grand parents built for me and my children can you please give my children the opportunity that you were now taking from them and I see how they treat our veterans I see how difficult it is for seniors that didn’t have a placement in our homeless I see that all of our government funding is now going to people that are now immigrating into Canada and they’re being able to start up small businesses have four bedroom townhomes in their children to schools and drive them and fancy SUVs can you look around us and see somebody sold Canada

It’s just sad how this world still hasn’t got over the fact people can be from any race and be a good person or a not so good person. I’m thankful I was raised to treat everyone the same and to know everyone is the same! It doesn’t matter the color of your skin, your sexuality, nothing at all!!

Your own people treat you the same way light skin act like I'm better than you going to better schools marrying white man disrespect black man sad Linda j peace ❤️ ?? ?? ?? free

Irie mon. How is it I am not treated wit disrespect in my own contry of Jamaica mon? I not be havin any issues over by there.

My mother's background is ambiguous based on looks. She's actually English and Irish but she has dark brown hair and dark brown eyes and naturally tanned skin. It's very unusual for someone of British ancestry, but family photo's of Mum's family show the same colouring back to her great-great-grandfather. In Britain, as a blonde, blue-eyed daughter, I've watched my whole life as people treated her differently to other relatives. She's quiet, polite and her father was a police chief inspector, she strictly obeys the law. I've overheard people refer to her as a 'paki' and all sorts of derogatory things. When we went to the US, it wasn't better. They were rude to her until she spoke and then reacted with shock. Some admitted they thought she was Mexican. \nSo, is it any easier for her in Canada? When she visits me here, she is mistaken for an aboriginal. It isn't any easier for her here. And pettiness of it all. When they hear her accent, suddenly it's like she's their best friend. \nThe sad/funny thing is, often I can't find customer service more than half the time I'm out. When I'm with my mother, there is ALWAYS someone around to ask for help.

I wish the United States would face this issue. I've been attacked in a store for unfair, and unfounded suspension. I am treated differently in no less than 75% of stores I go into. The employees stare me down, follow me... I'm going to start filming these people. It's not fair to be harrassed for S.W.B. It's sad, I was born this color, yet I am less than, or just plain bad before I even speak, or act in the minds of many, especially law enforcement. It's sad. It's depressing. It makes everything in life that I do in public, down to using the bathroom, getting to know new people, applying for work, buying food, or just walking down any street, so much harder. Like the world is mad I exist, and the people want me to go away.

White people is like, oh I feel bad for those who are not white that is not fair they should not be treated like that \nBUT inside they are saying thank God I am white

im a white person in the us n this is waaaay too common now and it makes me sick. in this day and age we are still treating minorities in a less than equal manner and thats disgusting

Like a dog performing for a treat

Canada government deliberately treating Chinese with soft punishments because they bring lots of money with them! Two years sentence is a joke and they also let him keep his money, just pathetic justice system

i didnt think that racism was this bad, i live in sweden and i have never seen anyone being treated this bad by people in common places, especially not in canada. \n\n\nim arab btw so that should be worse

How about they do their next video on how people from Canada are treaded by the immigrants or how they are treated when visiting other counties. This was loaded to make people look bad, or perhaps the amount of kids banged out by the immigrants and the strain on social services. Let's face it, most do demand a free ride once they move to Canada. They leave their country and refuse to assimilate turning areas into little versions of where they came from...

As a minority I’ve noticed that White women have it way better than white men... so why do we treat white women as minority’s under the law as if they deal with the same things as blacks or Hispanics Indians etc in America

When I see people indulging in racial profiling or discrimination I wonder if humans are actually that dumb ? Treat differently just because someone has a different Colour ? Why is speaking in English so imp even if the one speaking is talking dumb ! ! \nAren’t bilinguals more intelligent and attractive ? I have lived in Toronto for 3 years racial discrimination exists but is subtle ! Am brown take me for your next experiment ?

Sadly not only is racism, xenophobia, and homophobia a common place in Alberta is widely supported by as a right. However if a store owner did the same to w white Christian. The province would loose thier mind. Then when you stand up for a minority your treated as a bad guy.

It is a violent religion that treats women terribly

Good video. I would like to see a video on how ''minority'' groups treat other races.

Nothing but positive comments on Canada. When you're welcomed in a country you're treated like you are. Black people aren't wanted or welcomed in the USA but believe they are. WAKE UP!

How about not sitting out there race baiting. Or be pissed off at the actual terrorists who dress like that. Yeah it's not ok to treat people dressed like that, but it's also not ok for the people who are commiting terrible crimes using the same type of outfit. Not to mention people only know what your media feeds them. If you hear about a bunch of people dressed up like Catholic priests and commiting robberies. And then you see somebody walking your way dressed like a priest. Guess what? The thought is gonna go through your head.

I feel you Leland on that jealousy part, it would be nice to be treated equally. Not saying whites don't work, but they sure do have an easier go at things and are hassel free...but nooo noo there is no white privilege right....

I can give you plenty of examples of being racially profiled as a white man, like the time i walked into a Mexican market in L.A. and as i walked in overheard what the cashier charged a Mexican woman for a couple of items, so i grab the same exact items and bring them up to the counter just to be charged 3 times as much.  Go to any swap meet in So. Cal as a white man and see how you are treated amongst the Mexican vendors. And the further south you go the worst it is.  Maybe white people are not supposed to speak up? Or maybe the time a black guy said to the white boy door to door sales man that he was in the wrong neighborhood in Pasadena, Ca.Where do we put the attention? Or is it all about ratings again?

Why should u apologize. White guilt much? Treat people how u wanted to be treated. How other people treat others isn't your doing.

The subtle differences may not seem like much to some people, but I agree with the one guy...it makes me feel jealous too..I wanna treated that way too like I'm worth more as well.

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

Those people who use their intelligence to cheat the system should be treated has 'HIGHLY DANGEROUS CRIMINALS' and never allowed to leave prison.. the judiciary system is flawed!

Hinduism treat whole world is our family and treat guests like God, Muslims remove burqa in there house and Rome but when they come outside they treat other ppl as bad ppl so they used to cover there face and identity in burqa.

Crazy how people treat others unfairly by there face and race but would want respect back

There is a modern type of raicism .It happens so often when a specific group speaks Their country languish and they assume that You do not speaks Theirs ,Th. ey treat you differently.

Black couple here...montreal is the WORST. We got treated like second class citizens there...almost hit by a whit guy. Menu thrown at us by a white woman....followed in a few stores ...never again. If ur not black or brown how can u say Canada is tolerant? Most of u may be but the few bad apples make it very bad.
