Interestingly, all these productions on exploring the victims of racism, profiling and discrimination. The victims are interviewed extensively. Why on earth to we not interview racists, on their own. Explaining their stance, enlighten the world on what informs their stance, and how they justify their right to ill treat others. \n\nI don't many would be able to.

They do this in non white countries too. I was in Iran (I'm white), like for example, in 3 (out of 5) airports I went through in Iran, they left me alone, despite patting down every other (Iranian) passenger. However, I did experience more scrutiny than others at one airport, but it's still a very odd thing

Treat others how u want to be treated .Peace to all .

It is NOT just race. Depending on the bag or backpack you carry, you get followed, which I hate. And I'm not black. My mother also gets followed everywhere in every Macy's store. It drives me crazy. It's really annoying, because I think it's because my mom has big purses and I usually have my art backpack. \n\nWhen I'm in a different town, I get followed in Walmart all the time. If I forget my shopping bags, I will empty my backpack so I can use that to put all my items in at the end of the purchase.\n\n In Best Buy, I'm lucky to get anyone to help me at all!!! I have to hunt someone down, and most of the time, they don't know anything anyway. Target: I have a hard time finding anyone to help me as well. I haven't really done a social experiment, but sometimes I just have my shopping bags and fill them as I shop and I won't carry a purse.\n\nLocally, I don't get followed because my family and me are known in that town. We know a lot of people and my face is everywhere. I never get followed. But out of town Walmart, I get followed in certain stores. It irritates me immensely, especially since I buy a lot of make up and the make up department is cramped they way they block the end of the aisles. It makes it really hard to turn your cart around when other people are in the same aisle. Then they close the make up aisle even though they have tons of cameras all over!! \n\nOverall, I don't know WHERE these backhanded compliments are coming from. I normally hear stuff about my weight. Nothing about race ever. Nor do I ever hear others talking about race. Weight seems to be the hot topic always.\n\nI also find it weird that the one guy feels like he needs to apologize!

It’s almost like people want to blame us (American born citizens) for this happening, if you came into my country illegally, then it’s YOUR FAULT!! You broke the law of my country by just coming here illegally, so go back to your country and try to get here legally.. BUILD THE WALL!!??♥️?. He admitted to coming here illegally and he admitted to not showing up to his appointment, I’m so sick and tired of hearing these sad stories, my heart goes to people but my country need to take care of our own first before we take care of others!!! ??????

The answer is simple convert to another religion, which looks at others as equal.

if musilem religion doesn't says don't impose one willing on others. Why you forced the Christians citizens to use sharia law on your land . Why you didn't let them live peacefully and Democratic. Why you killed them and destroy thier churches.

White People’s Always Put Logo To The Color Of The Skin .... Is About Opportunity And Respect Also To Getting Justice The Same For Everyone.... We Are Human ... Nobody Is Better Others ..... Thanks... Gracias

That computer test proves nothing...people relate to people who are most similar to them. Period. \n\nLets pull the data on how many black people discriminate against black people. For example, do black landlords who own and rent expensive apartments treat every applicant the same? Will they accept more whites or more blacks? Will they show preference to people with higher incomes? What about single moms? The disabled? Obviously business people are going to make decisions which they believe will produce the best outcome. \n\nOur behavior is based largely on past experience and knowledge. If I get burned 80% of the time I touch the stove, then I will learn to be cautious 100% of the time I go to touch it. But Im NOT going to be cautious when I touch the refrigerator or washing machine. \n\nI will add that it is 100% unacceptable to mistreat others based on outward appearances. Every person, no matter their race, dress, age, etc., deserves dignity and a certain amount of respect.

Muslims are here to gather information on them and others

Bro,,, valani surname belongs to South guj. , Proud of you for helping others.

in all honesty people who do these things who try to turn another culture into their own should be deported, i'm not saying all should be deported i'm saying those who refuse to assimilate and harass others should be deported

Wow. Well I want to cry to because almost half my pay check every week is lost or stolen from me and given to people who just want to live for free on there ass's. Fix your own country and stop trashing everywhere else. I feel sorry for the children. No fucks given for the adults because they have the choice to work move and make a better life and not depend on others to fix there lives for them.

growing concern for Born in Canada Canadians...as we enjoyed our country the way it was before it was destroyed...our religions are even destroyed-Muslims in our Catholic schools and churches. Trea5ted like Kings and Queens in Hamilton while others (Born in Canada Canadians) are homeless living in the street.

if a wolf comes around the sheep, i expect the sheep to act accordingly. LOL it is not racism. some are more violent than others and we all know the stats.

Look it took me 5 ir 6 swipes to get back to the top of the comments, so let's be honest with each other here. RACISM is real and EVERYWHERE. Some just hide it better, others don't recognize that they, are sadly but truth is... As an American Citizen and Veteran, I use to wonder why so many family members and former soldiers would stay overseas after the military. That is till it was my turn..! I had my culture shock on my return to the States, I had gotten use to being judged on my merit and personality there instead of my color here. Hey, we even discriminate against our own race at times. Life is, What YOU Make It and How YOU Take It... Canada isn't as bad as here and other places I've been.

Best of luck 4 future....Be successful....U can bt others cannot including myself

MOST TIMES YOU OBSERVE SECURITY FOLLOWING THEY ARE NOT CLEVER ENOUGH TO BE PARTIAL. SAME OLD APPROACH.MANY TIMES ONE REALIZES THAT OTHERS ARE STEALING AND THE SECURITY IS NOWHERE NEAR. LOST FROM STORES ARE HUGE. WHY WOULD THEY CONCLUDE THAT THE PEOPLE OF COLOUR AND THE POOR ARE RESPONSIBLE. WHEN YOU HAVE RULES AND REGULATIONS AND SHOW PARTIALITY ; ONE CANNOT HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT YOU CAN RELY ON BEING SAFE; THAT AUTHORITIES CAN REALLY PROTECT ITS CITIZENS WHEN REAL PROBLEMS THREATENING US. AMAZON CAN SOLVE THE NUISANCE.BUT THERE WILL BE ROOM FOR OTHER....\n\nI BELIEVE WE ARE NOT ALL WELL BRED AND ARE ALLOWED AS CHILDREN TO BELIEVE ASSUMPTIONS TO BE REALITY. WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL HOW WE TREAT OTHERS FOR WHEN THE TIDES TURN HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE TREATED. PLEASE REMEMBER TOO THAT WITH ALL THE GOINGS ON THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE BALANCED AND INTELLIGENT. THERE ARE PEOPLE WITH GOOD HEARTS AROUND. THAT KEEPS THIS WORLD IN THE BALANCE. WE ARE AT PRESENT TIPPING THAT SCALE. UNFORTUNATELY THE OUTCOME WILL BE FAR MORE SHOCKING FOR HUMANS.REALITY IS LIFE. WE NEED TO HAVE LOVE FOR OURSELVES AND OTHERS FOR WITHOUT THAT YOU ARE JUST EXISTING.WE ARE NOT AS EVOLVE AS WE THINK. A THOUGHT........

I want to convey a message to everyone here pls go for family planning so we Indians need not to go abroad for becoming slaves of others for just money.

Beleive once on a snake never on these r slow poision for others.

We are not all valuable human beings. We are only as valuable as to what we contribute to society and how good we are to others. But we still need to be smart enough to keep the bad people in the world from taking advantage of us and hurting us. It's called self defense. If someone hurts us then it's to late. Don't be naive and deceived.

THX let them go...so Canada can pay to ship them home, where they can work on their own county not sucking of others! ?

I am white and i get followed by floor walkers quite often by white, Asian and East Indians so should i call racism? the only people i hate are people that think women and children have no rights, fear mongers, people that promote separatism and people that think that they can own another human-being as slaves o and people that judge others but cant look in the mirror at the real issue before pointing the finger.

Biggest thieves ever blame others for stealing... sick.

Why don't you show the open racisim toward whites ? It's everywhere .. \n\nBc that would throw off your narrative now wouldn't it .. We are all discriminated against.. The only thing that sets us apart as people is that some of us choose to feel victimized their whole life while others let it roll off their back and keep their head high .. Stop being victims .. You have controll of your own lives . Don't let race baiting consume you ..

If you want to tackle the issue you should consider a relationship with God. Do you realize He exists? You do not PRAY. COMMUNICATE with God. You don't understand. Some people might not want to be victimized. Don't you realize how others are. In Al races. But race is not the ONLY discrimination. Beliefs in God. And not so much in just religion. Religion helps you understand about God. But God is also a person who is Spiritual and physical. He is Supernatural, Mystical, Eternal Immoral and so much more. For help from your problems go to Him.

Islam is the only religion that cannot coexist with all the others

Why Canada what to waste time keeping all these useless people that want hike their face from others . Let them go back to their country of origin..

So do u think to be blame the christian or the monk the Hindu the buddist it’s the Muslim who most doing this kind of problem we as immigrants in this country should follow the Canadian way of life not to change there life we are just visitors in this country u want respect just also respect others

Congratulations for Your endurance, persistance and patience. Your parents will be proud of you. All the pains you hv taken are foundation for Your posterity, your wife, children abd their families who will probably settle in Canada without hvng to go through what you did. Also you hv set an example for others to follow. All the Best.

there is no need for christians to tolerate them, tell them to go fuck themselves before its too late..and dont sell your churches, dont make them dance bars..if you dont go for sunday masses its ok but dont insult christ and god....live and allow others to live..just kindly tell them to please do what you want but please dont bother us..or please go back to your country..and please dont hurt others by imposing your relegious teachings and thoughts..

As a Mexican American I have faced all types of racism from people of different races, including my own. I lived in Mexico for a while when I was young and would get bullied by kids who knew I was born in the U.S. Teachers also treated me different; some treated me worse than they treated the other kids, and others favored me because I was American. When I moved to Philadelphia I attended a school that was predominantly black and asian. I was the only hispanic in my class. At the time Spanish was my main language and my English was “rusty,” which led to constant bullying from classmates. They would call me “dookie face,” tell me to “go back to my country,” and even had some girls put gum on my hair. I would cry every day. I later on moved to Chicago to an area that was mostly hispanic, and that didn’t stop the bullying, either. After I finally refined my English, I no longer wanted to speak Spanish unless it was to my parents. Yes, I guess the constant bullying pushed me to feel like I had to separate myself from my hispanic heritage. When my hispanic classmates spoke to me in Spanish I only responded in English, which would make them mad and they would think that I thought I was “better than them.” Anyway, that was long ago and now as an adult I can reflect on these things so that I don’t make the same mistakes. I get along with everyone and the only thing that changes how I feel about someone is their character, not their appearance.

This experiment is hogwash on many points: 1. People discriminate all the time and they have to, based on culture, religion,and many others characteristics otherwise you’re a robot.\nDishonesty and unrealistic expectations is part of the PC CULTURE.\nlet’s be real most people in Canadian society are civilized and know how to treat others with decency but that doesn’t imply they have no branes.\nThe reality is that most culture do not mix. The bigger the minority the more exiled people are in the new Country and that’s a fact and will not change.\nYes some people can form friendships with other people from a different race,culture but the number is and will be small most people are sticking to the ones that are similar to their own and that’s a fact and will not change, you can talk about it until you’re blue in the face.

Canadian whites hate others because they cant get them to sleep with them

To cover up and put on a bunch of clothes doesn't change your heart. What you need is a change of heart and mind. If you don't have self control . Then your clothes won't do it for you. You are in bondage to your clothes to the thoughts of others. That is somewhat control. But not from God Almighty. He didn't Sacrifice for your clothes, but for your Soul. It is not your clothes that will stand before God Almighty and be Judged. It is Your Soul.✌?

Sharia law can applied only on islam not others even in same street same time. Cant other follow your unless it your country now you are in host country. If unhappy with the law go back to desert if refuse just take guns and start shooting them all out of east london run back to middle east.

Who's outrageous??? It's us. Human beings. We always try to find out others fault when we deny to apologise for our own mistakes.

I was raised we live free. Religion politics choice and no one has right impose on others. Whether you far right or Muslim. We all entitled to hate or love but not dictate to others how we feel right

This lady is talking about freedom of choice, do others have it in Saudi Arabia ?\nLet them do whatever they want inside their home, why can't they be like others ? \nV in India know them better, \nWhen u r a miniority; adjust,\nWhen u r equal # protest (in a short period of time they will multiply many folds, no birth control, marry 4 wives, diverse them (talaq) again marry another 4 wifes, produce more children, until they became a majority by population. \nWhen majority bring Sharia law, which is a 7th centuary desert law of survival.\nAll schools will became madsrasas, learn only Quran, no questions, no sceintific enquiry, \nWomen r doomed, etc\nIslam(surrender) X Freedom.

What I would like to know is why in the case of roxum road crossing we never saw any US officials there stopping people from illegally leaving the US hmmm! We had the RCMP there all be it as bellboys but they were a least present. I am glad I love Canada and the fact I dont want to leave, this is tought o watch because as a Canadian with Canadian values when we see people in trouble this nation has always offered help to others less fortunate. It is what makes us unique and respected by the world or at least it was until Trudeau got in.

I think the government knew about it a lot earlier but chose to ignore it. Many people even still commit visa fraud to gain entry. Express entry is highly vulnerable and used by many people take advantage. I can even name a person. Akhil Choudhary, Misrepresented/hide info about work experience and unlawful immigration activities that he did in USA. When the US government kicked him out he went to Canada. you can find him at www.linkedin.com/in/smarketinguru. Crime does actually pays. He is well and earning good. Even encouraging others. I just wish that government takes a note of it.

I love how the guy sitting next to her told the others to just relax when his attack dog is screaming at other people. Classless.

What does being born and raised in Canada have to do with her feeling so superior above others?! She acts uneducated and has backwards mentality!

Although it’s been almost a year since this was posted, but Canada is in fact a free country, many people speak their own language and that’s alright, this is truly upsetting to even see the way this lady acts because she’s a grown woman, she should act like her age, our country is multi cultural, many people of many backgrounds live here and the fact she lashed out these people is ridiculous, she should just mind her own business and move on with her own life, stop interfering in others peoples lives

Islam is about forcefully converting others! The Vatican was once like this but learned it lesson! Islam will learn this hard lesson one day! There is nothing peaceful about forced religion because it is WRONG to force religion in anyone! Religion is only real when it is passive and a person seeks it out!

Y r u violent towards others please give me an answer

Then why you cannot just let them live and do their own believes , they've never forced you to be muslims as well , i know so many muslims here in canada , and they're just like any human being , they do their work correctly , they respect others beliefs , and they've never enforced someone to islam .\nNo religion should be judged by a select few who associate themselves with a particular faith

All you people criticizing Canada for being a gentle Government. do you realize your stupidity. It's like you are demanding your own surveillance State.\nWe are happy to be able to be gentle. yes there are predators in life and they aim to exploit others. We also have peopple who's job it is to find these people and stop them.

India is facing this from 100s of decades. If they don't feel safe they should leave !!! And why Saudi Arabia don't allow other religions in their country !!!!!!! They come and ruin others religion !!

Probably there’s others doin the same
