I learned something new today from watching this documentary, the fact that they actually named a town & a park Africville in the great white north. Some people are naive while others are not when it comes to racism. The very fact of the world has been conquered & dominated with the white supremacy mentality leave very little to be surprise that Canada had slaves. I think from what I've come to understands is that having slavery for 250 yrs most white Canadians will pretend to not be racist, but it's like those two kids in your class the one who had the paper thrown at him & the one who did it doesn't act like he did anything & the rest are just as bad because they saw who did it but are complicit by not saying anything. No one wants to be the rat, but at the same time they all know why the one kid that threw the paper did it & the one that had it done to them knows exactly why.

Racism is everywhere.

Racism racism racism sad

Good ole white folks, doing what they do best. Racism is in their DNA just gotta control when in public that’s all.

This is bad racial profiling for sure, Shoppers Drugmart is bad.\nAlthough I'm white, when I have a backpack on I'm often asked if I need help.\nThey're usually more suspicious with people who wear backpacks, but certainly racism is a factor here too.

Wow, I'm glad to see Canadians facing racism head on like this

Sorry but racism is everywhere. Yes America seems like the poster child for some reason, but every country has a dark past and hopefully we can all learn from it and move on.

You go up north Winnipeg, walk in the street late at night in aboriginal hood, and say it is all racism and discrimination.

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.

If a person has a good job and the ability to pay the rent , they should be approved to rent an apartment. Its the skin color that doesn't get them a place to live ! Racism will always be here ! It needs to be eradicated !

This is a load of bollox! There’s racism in every country...every race automatically prefers their own naturally.

racism is spread by ignorance and fear

Racism is on the rise unfortunately what needs to go into the education system is a hard push for tolerance and respect on both sides

As a Muslim it disgusts me to see that people have to live with this kind of racism in this modern world. Huge respect to the guy for keeping his cool in such a situation.

Interesting but not really. The melanin in my skin automatically causes me to experience racial profiling and racism. My first name also causes me to be strip searched at the airport. I get racism from multiple directions.

It’s all on where you live and who you live around. There are like 7 black families in our town. There are no black folks to harass. The police and shop owners harass white people. They profile you on what you wear. What condition vehicle you drive or the way you look. In areas with lots of black folks they follow and harass black folks. \n\nI’m not saying it doesn’t exist. What I’m saying is it’s not everywhere like these videos make it out to be. Most of the time it has nothing to do with racism.

Ive experienced racism every day of my life! Canadians are supposed to be the nicest peaceful country but it's complete bs!

Being Islamaphobic is not RACISM as Muslim is not a race! Islamaphobia is an excuse to prevent constructive Ideological criticism of Islam. I'm a Sikh & a Jat & believe Jagmeet & his brother are both on the ISI & Whabbi pay roll.

This test is word magic preference and racism are not the same.

How is it racism? Is islam a race now?

None arrested for Homaphobia or Racism. Same in Bham this glad I'm out.

why the government case by case allowed this guys to apply for humanitarian and let them stay? my Goodness is so easy!!!! I'm not say any case, but verify one by one! The truth that even if is not justifiable, some white lobby in this country doesn't want Asian, there were NONE asian CBSA officer that spoke about the case! That's also a proven racism in this country!

Canada has changed drastically and racism has become very rampant...so very sad. If they did this experiment now in 2019-2020 the results would be so much worse.

Racism are everywhere but one thing i understands that any countries we go to ethical standards are very important and should not push our own culture when we are just a foriegner to that country we must face scrutiny because evrryone are different

I think racism is horrible, but i also see indian, chinese etc stores here that don't have a single white or persons from other nationalities working in them, i think everyone should adhere to fairness in equality of employment.

This isn't racism, It's prejudice.

you should try to test racism at schools. white people get higher marks and less bullied than other racists

Haha that computer test is invalid for me. At split second decision, I don't believe racism preference from that. Those decisions could be from numerous reasons the brain just jumps to. The human brain is complex. If you gave that test to a child who doesn't yet differentiate racism, are you still going to say that child is racists?

I KEEP  WRITING THE SAME THING EVERYDAY BUT, NO ONE WILL LISTEN. IN THE 1950'S BORDER PATROL ACTUALLY DID THEIR JOB, NO ONE QUESTIONED THE BORDER PATROL. IN THE 1950'S ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS WERE MEN,  NO SUCH THING AS FAMILIES CROSSING THE RIVER. ALL AMERICANS WOULD REPORT ILLEGAL ALIENS TO THE BORDER PATROL,  THERE WAS NO TALK ABOUT  RACISM, ATTORNEYS, SANCTUARY CITIES, ILLEGAL ALIENS IN THE 1950'S DID NOT MARCH AROUND WITH THE MEXICAN FLAG, SHOUTING UNDOCUMENTED AND UNAFRAID. THERE IS ONE WORD IN THE ILLGAL ALIEN INVASION THAT IS NOT DISCUSSED AT LENGTH AND THAT WORD IS...I L L E G A L.... IMMIGRATION IS NOT ABOUT RACISM, ABOUT COMING TO AMERICA FOR A BETTER LIFE..... IT IS ABOUT..... THE RULE OF LAW, THE GOVERNER OF CALIFORNIA IS BREAKING THE RULE OF LAW, HE SHOULD BE ARRESTED, FINED AND JAILED.  IF THE ENTIRE COUNTRY  AND I MEAN  EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN WOULD GET  BEHIND..... THE RULE OF LAW.... THEN THE ILLEGAL  ALIEN INVASION WOULD STOP. ITS ALL ABOUT THE LAW, THE RULE OF LAW... AND NOTHING ELSE. A LONG TIME AGO SOME POLITICIAN  MADE A STATEMENT THAT..... IF... YOUR NOT AN AMERICAN?... THEN.... YOU ARE SOMETHING ELSE.    HMMMM DID HE MEAN ILLEGAL ALIEN?

When you are white racism doesn't exist because its white people doing this crap!

Racism will never be over unfortunately

Respect for him to confront racism, but he should also answer his questions and not run away like that. And he should say he does not support sharia law. Thats my opinion

I agree that racism is common in Canada. I have been denied many government jobs because I am a white male, and no landlord in Toronto would rent to me for the same reason.

This makes me sick to my stomach to see how bad the racism is in Canada

true racism is police officers engaging in the tyranny of minority citizens and CBS has the nerve to propagate Muslim acceptance this is not news the real news lies with the murders of unarmed citizens asinine reporting

Racism is producing terrorism in the WORLD.. stop racism respect Human and humanity and dont bother about COUNTRY religion any thing

Well if I had to watch something promoting racism this is it

Soon there will be reverse discrimination. Over time more immirgrant will be owning businesses and Buildings. They will be saying no to whites. They will tend to rent to their own kind or of similar culture. Racism and discrimination can go two ways. This is already happening in some areas.

That guy must feel stupid after he know the truth that sinkh is not muslim.I respect the sinkh with his principle when they confront racism.

33:14 she said shes to afraid to say anything. What kind of person are you to be afraid to stand up to racism??? White privilege and quick follower.

Any answers to the questions raised by the white politician? ? Nothing except whitewash it as Racism

I would love to come to Canada and have y'all try that on me! oh, this Puerto Rican would holler so loud about the discrimination, it would shock y'all Canadians out of your racism!

Racism??? How long is a belive a race ??? what is Islamophobia??? The teaching of Islam about Christian and jews??

Okay I will be first to admit as a canadaian.. yes canada has racism issues. No questions. Every country does in their own culture and society. And this is a huge problem. But having said that, I personally have not faced or may be was not treated in a face of racially biased way. In recent years, I do see huge changes where we have these occurence alot more but not to a degree to our neghibours to south.

Racism does NOT surround us. Racism, by definition requires more than one Race to be involved in order for discrimination based on Race to happen. Discrimination CAN happen based on skin color, cultural background, language spoken, country of origin, heritage of ancestors. That is true. None of that however indicates a different Race of people, it only highlights superficial differences in appearance. It is time to end the idea that Racism based on race exists, because claiming discrimination based on Race is the first step to basic Human Rights violations. The Human Race is the only Race of people on the planet.

Apparently, the implicit racism test isn't actually an accurate test of implicit racism, at all.\n\nhttps://www.vox.com/identities/2017/3/7/14637626/implicit-association-test-racism

No disputing theres racism towards people of color. But the racism Canada's native Americans face is on a whole other level

This is why Muslims do not belong in non-muslim countries because of their backwards deeply rooted racism against non-believers.

But it's not racism, he was just asking to denounce the ideology of the Sharia.

Islam isn’t a race, hows it racism, literally lost brain cells
