Yes words hurt but honestly better then having milk shakes with possible corrosive material in them thrown and you for being a republican. Or for that matter having a different opinion. It only matters when it’s your beliefs that are attacked by words.\n\nI am not saying it’s ok, it’s not but any other country in the world and words would only be the beginning.\n\nDo you think people who come to the west looking for a better life do not know there are people who are afraid? Ok it seems the outraged are the people born in Canada and do not understand what real hate and suffering is...

Another message to my Sikh brothers throughout the world: Wear actual Turban. Not like short cloth which is exactly the same like Muslim people are wearing. That’s why you guys are targeted as Muslims. Dumb idiots don’t know the difference while they targeting Sikhs. So please change the way of wearing your Turban.\nThis hate mostly started after Osama bin Laden did the crazy thing 9/11. Have a look at his wearing. U will find no difference and you will get the answer why Sikhs are always targeted for Muslims.

I personally love Sikh people because they are truly tiger \nThey don't look people's \nFrom ther religion they look \nPeople like youman being \nWe all salute you \nAllah peace apoun you

we are not a country go watch is canada a myth done by doug force it explains alot all backed up with investagative facts ,we tried many times meech lake accord was the last time ,look we can kick out the defacto gov.we have call our own election and set a dejour gov. for the people by the people go watch

Before anybody wants to say anything about islam, they should study islam, and not just go on hearsay. \nthe evil ones have got the media in their hands to demonize islam. there are a lot of false notions about islam. so many people, and majority women accepted islam, when they saw the truth. look at what somany hindu priests and officials have to say about islam.

Islam is the religion that will bring billions to hell, look on all the visions of people from all the backgrounds, they just see Jesus or God, never Mohammed or other self made prophets, i saw God 9 times and i vouch for your sufferings if you still continue without searching for the true religion, Orthodox Christianity first and the only true religion

You need to take control back of your country. Crap like this is exactly why we elected Trump and will do so again in 2020. With over 350 million people, the last thing we need is 10 million more from outside! Look at the reports of stabbing deaths in the UK and look at who is doing it. Wake up before it touches your family personally.

We need to have a little bit of compassion for Muslims who are struggling with this. Imagine that you were born into Islam. You didn't ask for it. You just happened to be unlucky enough to be born into a Muslim country and raised under it. It's not their fault that they believe what they believe. \nWe need to help them to free them from the chains of Islam. The way to help them and free them from Islam is by educating them with the truth. It's difficult for them to accept because they have devoted their entire life to it. It's also quite a shock when they see all of the errors in the Quran which is supposed to be the pure word of an all-powerful and all-knowing God. Then they see things like- the sun revolves around the earth and sets in a pool of muddy water. It's like somebody telling you that your dear friend has been lying to you for the last 50 years of your life. You just can't believe it. You don't want to believe. You defend your friend, you love your friend. \n\nSo instead of insulting these poor Muslim people try helping them by suggesting that they read the Koran cover to cover from beginning to end. Then they will see for themselves that this 7th century book conflicts with modern scientific and historical knowledge. That's when they will realize that Muhammad invented the entire thing so that people would obey him and treat him like a god on Earth. That's when they will realize that he was a 7th century man who knew nothing about the scientific knowledge that we have now in this century. That's when they will realize that the Quran is filled with threats of punishment and violence for not believing and not obeying the supposed word of God given to them by Muhammad. Muhammad put harsh punishments in it so that they would submit out of fear. This is why Islam is so violent. \n\nTo our Muslim friends in humanity. I'm so sorry that you were lied to. So sorry that you wasted much of your life devoting it to Islam. I'm so grateful to those of you who have not followed the violence of Islam commanded in the Quran. But now you are free with the truth. Go and live your life in Peace and freedom. Love your fellow humans and help your fellow humans. Try to spread the truth to other Muslims and help them. Follow the example of apostate prophet who is trying to help Muslims with his you tube videos.\n I urge all Muslims to read the entire Quran. Don't let non-muslims like me know more about the Quran than you do. If you don't think that the scientific facts conflict with the Koran, then read the entire Quran and look up the scientific facts. If you really search for the truth you will find it.

He is right hate is wrong, but the people also look into people who concerned about themselves. Maybe this guy might have forgotten about their ancestors past. \nNot every Muslim is bad, but Western world is too weak at present , they are unable and confused about refugees as they are standing between ethics and concerns of people of respective countries. \nAnywhere in democracy or any country in that matter , elected representatives are answerable to only their citizens. Not to other country people . They must listen to their people first, then others. I thought Western world is strong in administration and follows ethics. May be present situation shows how weak they are.

If you are wearing differently obviously people will look at you differently

It’s absolutely beautiful how a good action of one man can bring people together look at the comment section how Sikhs and Muslims share their love to each other.

We respect sikhs they are good friends of Muslims this white racist man is so rude and looks like a stupid. sikhs are helping our kashmiri people

This showed how racism people are ignorance and stupid ... they just follow their hatred nature ... they cant even differentiate between religions and attack anyone look like a muslim ???

Why are white people soooo sick with racism? Everywhere man.. us..netherlands..france etc..\nAll the while we should fear them for all the hell they have caused.\nInsanity.\nOther white people need to speak up. Like they always want others to do when their group does something.\nYou people hate sikhs. Muslims..black people..brown mexicans..moroccans..turks etc etc..the list goes on and on.\nMaybe try and look at yourselves.\n\nYukhhh the echo of how that guy kept saying sharia...\nBrrrrr

I look at this title: Muslims in Canada: Anti-Islamic sentiment a growing concern, and I look at the thumbnail photo of 2 muslim women w/ their face fully covered then I watch this interview w/ them talking through all that cloth that's smothering their face w/ just their eyes peeping out and yes, I'm growing more concerned all the time. I'm sane. Concern is the only sane response to people walking around w/ their faces covered in public. It's dangerous, it's a total culture clash, it's creepy and unsettling as heck and it's totally anti social. You can't normalize this.

Regardless of the white man attacking the Sikh dude for thinking he’s a Muslim or not, the point is that either way he is being racist because he looks different to him due to his brown skin, beard and turban. This is disgusting and let people live.

That’s the problem with racists there so ignorant that they don’t even know that Sikh people have their own religion which isn’t Islam. \n\nHats off to this politician. He didn’t even deny that he wasn’t a Muslim. That’s what standing up to racism looks like

This is a very low% of westerns and of Canadian people they are good people subhanAllah look at U.S. and than talk wich have more racists and islamophobic people..... Infortunetely racist and brain washed people always exist warever they are western or eastern very sad.... As salamealeykum and one more time all my live and respect to this brave sikh brother

I would have to look at the footage from the start to end before I can come to a conclusion. The media as usual does not show the whole clip and want us to follow their narratives. Some of these people who are making comments just based on this clip are the one who are brain washed !! \n\nStop being misled people !

Racism has always been in Canada, dont be fooled. It may not be as prevalent as in other countries but racism is in fact here in Canada, I grew up here, Im a black born Canadian and dealt with it all my life. Mostly just taunting and name calling but one thing is certain, wherever you find white people you will find a lot of ignorance and even the good ones seem to always be a step or 2 away from a racist rant when they agitated. As long as they don't get violent with non whites then I guess we can deal with the slander and name calling. As a person with a darker hue, you will always be looked at like you are an Alien to them.

Try Los Angeles. All this blaming white people is ridiculous. Of course you go in an all white city youre going to make whites look like complete racists. Come to L.A and perform these same tests. Make sure there is a white a hispanic a black. The results will be exacy as these but the racists will be what the majority of the population is. You white people brainwashed against your own race are the biggest problem ive ever seen. Try L.A. This morning the schools announced you need an ethnic history course to graduate. The course includes no white history in ethnicity.

Go toward a foreign country and look how you as a white person will be treated, racism is like greed or anything else its part of every different race,...Just funny that white people are always being attacked on it,...But what can you expect that's the typical real racism,...Like every white person owned slaves or benefited from it, while slavery was going on the people who brought them, discriminated people from their own communities,...Why hire-ring a white guy if you can buy yourself a black one ''Cheap-labor'' ....Racism this racism that,...But Classicism nobody talks about!

It’s sad too see all this negatives comments y’all don’t know how hard it is for immigrants Unless you are one you can never relate the presidents thinks we are all rapist killers and bad people but that’s not the case yes there might be some bad people but I guarantee most of us are good people who come here too work really hard so our family’s and children can have a better life I don’t understand why we get so much hate all we come too do here is work hard and also we do jobs that no other people will do let’s put an example I don’t see any white American or black African American working in construction yes there might be some but most don’t like working outside in the heat because it’s hot and because it’s a hard job look at el Paso shootings you tell me who did that shooting ? It’s really sad too what this country has become too and the president is very wrong too and if your with the president you’ll should be ashamed of yourself.

It's against the Latin community too. If u ever get a job in miami for training, all the videos show Latin people stealing so already they train your brain to look out for latin people on the sales floor

The woman said a man tried to attack her but she got away! Can anyone explain what that would look like?? Start with just 2 people! A man and a woman! No witnesses! Plz enlighten this dumb white woman! Ie. Me!?????

Wherever there are white people, there is racism. They even export their racism to African countries. Look for the Youtube video of Jimmy L Taylor racially abusing hotel staff in Uganda. White people will still look at this video and say that racism doesn't exist or try to make up some excuse for this behavior. I also love it when they say that white privilege does not exist.

Why isit only the unconventional looking white people that step in to defend minorities ?

Try sending a resume for a job I got a white name when I show up for interview the look on people's faces are priceless they double take my resume and i know they thinking how are you this qualified

Wow I like how they look up black people followed in store

People sell baby formula so that's no surprise so if you're a man looking at baby products you'll probably be followed

And this was six years ago. What do things look like now? And Tommy Robinson was convicted again for trying to protect the people. It's criminal.

I wanna see what a spanish or black manager with the same strategy and watch what happens. I am the minority in my town and I am white, and trust me I get treated the same as these people but worse. Usually people look out for their own race sometimes its not right but people are dragging out this white people treating colored people wrong, when in fact if I went to mexico in some areas ill be shot dead and thats facts.

Companies cannot take the chance that anyone who looks suspicious is going to steal their stock. That's why they watch certain people in stores. Also, it is unwise to get into a fight or verbally confront someone who is having an argument with someone else. That person may pull a knife or a gun. The best thing to do is call the police.

Looks like Canada is full of a bunch of racists. I Think they should start paying reparations to blacks & indigenous people.

This is a propaganda piece. He's not an asylum seeker, he's an asylum SHOPPER. He went from Mexico to USA to Canada looking for the best social service programs for asylum seekers. It was denied because he was shopping and not seeking. Big difference. There are laws, you can't go to one country offering asylum then jump to Canada. I don't understand why people on here find that so hard to get.

ah... only when people fear hence its called racism. Again looking at the symptoms and not the root cause. How are you people failing at this.

If sharia comes to America they will be killed because they want us dead. Look up shariah law and learn people. That said this many years ago if they cannot take by force they will invade and then make there law by force after they have a foothold in that area and continue. Fuck Islam if they came to to my door they would be met by force and I would say deadly

Idk but maybe people should dress better and look good if you don’t want to be accuse. I haven’t been accuse because I like to dress well, remember dress to impress ☝? oh btw I’m Latino

I only been looking at YouTube from December 29, 2018 till to night and I will never go near the USA & CANADA. The black people our any person that is not white get a horrible time. Shame on the government of Canada & USA .

It pains me to see so many people--not just in Chinese Canadian community, but throughout all ethnicities and demographics--take Canadian citizenship for granted. Being a Canadian citizen, having the right to exercise responsibilities that come with this citizenship, are a privilege. I look forward to the system becoming better at recognizing applicants who understand and want to contribute rather than to leech off and take advantage.

#lol Dreads are just not a good look for white people.

I've worked in retail, and color has nothing to do with the attention you give a customet. When I go shopping not once do I look over my shoulder to see who is watching me. Blacks people not only do they attract attention to themselves but they act like the victims when they get caught red handed. Smh...

I see my son get treated very bad .\nBusiness people at the bank\n treated him horrible and he was trying to get help.\n\n basically jerked him around and I'd like to . Tell you he was a not a\n African-American\n . well we R M.I.H MY SON & I . for \n\n\n I don't like that\n they did it at the bank \nthey did at the\n grocery store get it LOT OF places oh I know where it was at I couldn't think it was at CVS . Pharmacy\n and then I told on them.\n I told my doctor they treated my son and .I. CVS would not let me have my medicine my doctor give them a phone call and he was upset he EAT him up and spit him out \nbecause I have diabetes \ndon't. NOT let my son get my medicine and it's hard for me to walk around and I called him up and ask why \nand then I did get my medicine and I never did have no more trouble out them after my doctor ball to out they against my son but people listen at this we're not African American where are we we are not I seen the kind of thing two we was up to the courthouse and these police officers was looking at me and laughing I'm an overweight woman and overweight people gets treated bad we get laughed at we get made fun of and every way I got jerked around at the courthouse in Anderson they really treated me horribly and I think it was because I was overweight and they was very rude and nasty to every customer to come in and I don't know why to me it always pointed out and all I'll be pointed out so it's not only African Americans but it's people like myself that has a weight problem I I am A obesity white woman

That happened to me when I went to Target in California and I went in to pay my bill there. I was followed by people and I notice that there was some other than my race stealing while they were following me.\nAlso, my sister applied for a teaching\nJob and she put down she was Caucasian instead of African American; she went on the interview and got the job.\nBut me my name the person would come out and call my name then look at all the women that were Caucasian waiting to be interviewed.\nWhen I would stand up the interviewer would have the funniest look on her/his face then will ask again you are and say my name again.

The test is inaccurate. How do yo tell if someone is good or bad by looking at photos of their eyes? I would have answered that all are good people because I give everyone the same chance.

hardware stores and walmart may be the only stores left. maybe we should protest these stores closing because it will contribute to the rise in unemployment. to save a few dollars may not be such a great thing when people are fired 2.1 million at walmart alone thats approx 41,000 per state can the state's unemployment benefits sustain that. look what happens when 2,000 per state are unemployed. employers are only concerned with profits we should be concerned with the workers. damn saving $20.00 a month. if we look at just our personal profit margins we're all going to pay in the end.

Who else is looking in the comments for people to roast that women?

Im white I grew up in a town thats mostly black .you want to know about racism its on both sides no one called me by name its that white boy or you look good for a white boy and if i was in a store and 4or5 people asked if i needed help i would think they are doing there job or just wanted to be helpful but thats not the same thing as being followed racism is mostly a male thing from my experience

There are more Brown countries then white if you go to a brown country then you will know what it feels like or black owned restaurant like checkers I'm white I applied for job at Checkers they told me it's black owned and operated we don't hire white people they're not subtle they come straight out with it it depends who's doing the hiring a black person will look out for a black person a white will look out for a white a Chinese would rather look out for a Chinese you're more comfortable with someone of your own all people in all Races do that you tend to look out for somebody that looks more like you it's a proven fact

Number one she's a complete f****** liar. Number two she's using stats that are not verified by any government agency anywhere. But you didn't notice they get the same benefits as Canadian citizens. Which is all the welfare that can digest. Here in the United States they get permanent residency and citizenship right away. Once they get refugee status they never have to work a day in their life in this country they will be funded in full by the American taxpayer. Then they will sponsor all the relatives. They're five sisters which are really their wives. This is what people are not understanding what's going on. Looking what's happening in Dearborn Michigan cured in 10 years the population has quadrupled. It does not even look like an American city anymore
