I ended up growing very thick skin to racism in Canada....what's more,I expect it ,and don't care for it.

It is sad that in 2020 we have ignorant people who judge you based on your skin color or accent. This form of racism exists all over the world. Let's work on making the offenders accountable

I'm a white older woman who refuses to dress up on my days off from work. I get followed around stores. I am afraid to leave a store for fear of being followed. I always have to show my receipts. I have been yelled at by young males of any background because I refuse to speed while driving. I was called a crazy drunk while crossing a parking lot. People seem to be being raised with very poor manners and a lack of respect for others. There is racism in every race or racial biases in every race. We all need to remember we are all actually the same race. It's called the human race. Remember we are all human beings and deserve to all be treated as such.\nWe are all human beings with plenty to offer each other. A new friendship, a wonderful meal, smiles, wisdom, wonderful stories, knowledge etc. I know I am racially profiled by others as well and wish it just wasn't there. Apparently because I'm white I believe I am first whatever that means. It is so much more comfortable when there are no seams. Love to yall

China full of racism too . Nigeria, Malaysia, ... Russia.... Argentina,....etc

Racism in Canada? Wow...what a profound question. I wonder if we have examples of it?

I feel nothing wrong with racism. Racism is like social classes when you have no minority in the country. Accept it then you will feel less shocked.

I am white and I got followed all over a store by loss prevention. The store was in Chile and not the USA. All the white people here who think that racism only goes one way needs to take a stroll in overtown in Miami at 8 pm. Let me know how that goes.

There will never ever be an end to racism,there will always be the silent majority that detest the black people,\nand it is not just America it's worldwide and unfortunately it's a problem that's never going away.There are\nwhite people that literally have no time for coloureds and in reality couldn't care less what anybody thinks\neither,we live in sad times.

Even in small towns racism is rampant, its everywhere, those who say racism doesn't exist are white

Racism is alive in canada, But it's like a quiet racism.

8:20 they ask the same questions to me too. I'm Turkish/white. I think this is not racism.

Everybody here should be happy they dont live here in norway its really like USA in the 1900s \nThe racism is mindblowing

This video has racism written all around it

They should do this in Fort Collins, Colorado this place is full of overt racism.

if you live in a population where your a minority it's a porblem lots of racism here in cambrige,on

I live in Victoria, and take this. I worked in a place, where the manager was from Asia, and she treated me like hell forcing me to move to another department, claiming she doesn't need an assistant. NEXT day she hired an Asian girl. She obviously needs an assistant, but because she wanted an Asian with her, she did that. And now you go to that department and you find all employees are from her country. Talk about racism, it's everywhere. And yes when an Asian or a black treat others in a wrong way, it's still called racism. People only shout racism when it comes from the White while we do see racism from others, but we don't hear anyone condemning it

To all those commenting on racism on this blog I have never been a racist and racism has never been an issue for me.\nMy moto is who calls somebody a racist is a racist.

Racism is real and it does exist whether we like it or not. When I went to college, this white girl was so disrespectful and rude. She always look down on students except some white students as if she is superior than us. Most of white people, I have met are racists because I can tell even though they won’t say they are.

Racism is actually worse here than in the US.

Wrong, wrong, wrong video..shows image of Hijabi Muslim lady and talks of racism? Islam is not race though.

Hiden racism in Canada !! In USA racism is straight in the face !! In Canada they do it in a friendly way ??!!

Its not racism its facts.

Why even experiment? its well know by everyone on planet earth the racism that is engineered on a daily basis in all walks of life for non whites.

That racism test looks flawed ...

I'm not white, have lived in Canada for 40+ years, and I have never been been racially profiled or been a victim of any blatant racism. Even now, living outside the GTA where it's less diverse, I've yet to experience any issues. I'm not saying those issues don't exist, but the first step to overcoming those problems is to stop with your own victim mentality. Not everything is about race, but that's the always the scapegoat for many when they fail at life.

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.

I went into a convenience store and the owners (Chinese) followed me around the store as I look for snacks and went to the back for drinks.. I was been shadowed! I told them that why she- because one followed me- was shadowing me? She gave me a smile.. sometimes I feel they pretend that dont understand a word of English, but actions speak louder than words. It was obvious, they thought i was gonna steal something... Now, tell me.. Does that make them racists too? I think so! I didnt buy anything.. but I gave them an earful for that. I have seen how they also keep an eye on Black people. Later, these same people say that THEY are the ones facing racism.

Racism is so not ok or nice

actually, having worked in real estate sales for a brief part of my life, im pretty sure the amount of racism isnt as exaggerated as portrayed. what is happening is the sales person has deemed the first customer very likely to rent the apartment, so to avoid having to reject/ conflict another customer, the later customer looking at the same apartment is quoted a slightly higher price to deter him from deciding on the apartment. also why the first customer is offered 2 apartments to look at while the 2nd customer looking for the same criteria is only offered one.

well to be honest, a marketing guy said, that he has two appartments free on the first dude and one appartment free on the second dude.....isnt that.....good? would be better to switch the order of the visit. and the 10$ difference by a different contractor was probably mor elikly corruption by this guy than actual racism.\n\n\n\n\nthese test results dont show racial bias, but simply the facial recognision of your mind to identify white or black people, thereby have a greater cultural and social preference to come into contact with these people. the test actual showed never racism. its showes social stereotypical mindsets. to combine these stereotypes with claims, that are unjustified to a person is prejudging and by a racial mindset of reasoning its is racism.

California is the same thing, people alway think diversity you don’t think that but I got racism more often in California then in other places. From schools to work places, parks to walking on the streets. I just ignored them. Some people are just plain cruel and mean. They subconsciously do that.

Real racism is proven in the workplace around here, sadly especially if it’s a high paying job, they feel like you don’t deserve to be there or have that pay grade... envy & extreme haterism...no common sense to just let ppl be and provide for there families in peace lots of circumstantial mental anguish when in such a toxic work setting, then coupled with having enough mental energy left to do your job adequately...smh

Sad to say but everyone has a little of racism in them! If you say that you don't then you're lying to yourself!!

This is a flawed test ,you get similar results from a whole range of physical characteristics such as beards spacing of eyes,symmetry of face and A study based on accents(UK Study) showed similar results north south based on where test was conducted being people being more comfortable/trusting of the society/group you grew up with is normal.\n If you test any racial/ethnic group you are likely to get similar results so it proves humans are human wherever they are.\n Please don't get me wrong racism exists and apart from being aware of unconscious bias toward your own identified group there is little most can do.\n\n\n This of course very different to overt and deliberate conscious acts of racism.

In Canada there will be low key racism and I have been called the world n- word many times in Toronto but only by Latino Americans, twice by a Mexican in my school, once by Peru guy then by a russian and a vietnamese. But never by a Canadian. In Toronto you will likely face more racism because it's multi cultural than any other city. But you will face racism by people who are non Canadian but more from other countries that have not accepted different races.

oh wateva look at the racism in america that is openly ignored

Amusing white people are underrepresented considering racism. \n\nI'm white living in Vancouver and experience racism against me many times. \n\n1. Walking in Crystal Mall...get out of our country (Asian group of men to me)\n2. Walk into an indian store for a pop....worker grabs me, moves me ahead of 10 or so other shoppers in line...the point is to get me out of the store. \n\n3. And on and on and on...

this is NOT accurate i cant count the times i have been followed and im white, and i think at the same time you need to ask yourself how many people either the same race or not , have been caught shop lifting before you have entered the store ???...and yet racism is too blame !!!

I can understand what middle East people are hated due to all the killings and murders some of them committed. But Racism against black and Asian is the questions Why? For what reason???

racism is everywhere . i am ahandicap and i have been verable and bodily attacted many times so i am not shocked .

Does CBC not understand what Racism is? Islam IS NOT A RACE.

The problem isn't racism, its hatred

You think racism is bad here. Try going to their country and see how long your head stays attached to your body.

The moron reporter....racism doesnt come my way a lot ???Sheep mindset....the media and liberal elite brainwash non white people to utterly hate you, in 2020 you live racism everyday dude hahahaha

I am not white man, but I don't really mind racism, it's everywhere, in every country, and within one country among different races, we all know it, all the immigrants who are living in North America, whichever country we came from, in those countries there are racism too between different ethnic groups, as long as someone does not harm others on racial grounds then it's ok

'racism' is not confined to any one race---\nIT EXISTS EVERYWHERE\nTRY ISRAEL INDIA JAPAN SAUDI ARABIA THE UK

racism is normal human behaviour, I am from south-east Asia we do not really like whites or blacks, same thing goes for blacks they may hate white and south Asians. But for geo-economics reason, whites see more immigrants than other races, so we see their racism more than other races, Imagine if Africa was the most developed place in the world, I bet they would keep whites as slaves.

I know how to stop racism, it’s as easy as not talking about it.

My son worked at Superstore and he said it was 90% Natives stealing and being caught for shoplifting. Women with carts full of groceries surrounded by little kids as shields trying to walk out without paying. And when they were stopped they shouted “racism”! You make your own bed, ppl don’t get these “prejudices” from thin air. And I wonder what those little kids watching their parents steal will do?...give me a break snowflakes! And I wonder what faces the black guy would prefer? A Chinese store owner will watch the black guy and the native too, are the Chinese racists??

The racism test is flawed when people have cameras in their faces and isnt anonymous
