I'm Asian from Republic of Korea. I liked USA but since a few days I'm really hating that country because of racism against Asians, Black people, people who are different religious. I've not seen other countries being this racist as America. I'm not saying that everyone from USA is racist but sadly i'm sure majority of them are! American people think that every Asian is Chinese and they call us Virus, they tell us to go back to our country if an Asian visits. This is how many Asians are losing interest in USA nowadays.. \nsorry for my bad English, i'm still learning! ??‍♂️

Or maybe they are just asking if you need help because your just standing there. I mean why do you have to assume there is a alt motive. That’s ridiculous. When I get asked if I need help usually it’s because I freaking do. And they help. This is crazy. It was sad though I felt bad for Leland .

I'm moving from Iran and Canada and this makes me do sad and scared :( it seems just like Iran in a lot of ways. Makes me think that I'll never be happy.... \n\nTbh it's gonna be good to not rmfesr torture/execution for being a lesbian anymore

Yep sadly a country of immigrants because of our governments, us Canadians don't have programs neither get much help, nope the Canadian governmement prefers immigrants to his own people don't care much of the native people either who would grandly need help and support. So next time think of all the luck you have when you come in my country because you have more luck and support than we do.

It's so sad that the US spends so much more on health care than any nation in the world yet we have the worst healthcare in the world and then just up north is Canada who has among the best healthcare in the world and they spend so much less than we do

It's terrible but look how our Government abandons it's own citizens in China too you only have rights on paper you learn that as soon as you expect enforcement or protection. Sad but true I've my own tales of woe as a natural born Canadian citizen.

Me and my pet moose are very sad that there are even such thing as Canadian immigrants. They probably haven’t even seen the polar bear jail. Real thing btw.

The sad part was that he was telling her daughter to hold the phone so that he should make her a way to go and was going to clear his vehicle.so sad brother. I think it's her anger issue and does not know how to handle this so she choose his race to abuse him.im not sad that he was racially abused but he was trying to help her but she get him completely wrong and starts mocking his accent?

It's just sad. Love everyone

This is sad

Great video, sadly I have seen cases where people migrate seeing only the rosy picture instead of proper research.

wow amazing so true this made me sad too ? I came to Canada when I was 9 years old with my father and sister so in some ways I was young so it was easy in a way for me, but as I got older it hit me being Spanish dominican ?? the culture different it's quite obvious, you're absolutely right people stick together in their own Community or culture, and is kind of hard to make friends, I know Spanish people here in Canada Toronto but they seem to stick to themselves and you were to think because I'm also Spanish that would have been easy for me to talk to them, but is not so sadly, without offending anyone Canada is not for anyone, you gotta be strong, Brave, quick, and smart. Credit matter alot here in Canada or you're nobody, having reference matters a lot or you cannot get anything done, the level of education matter alot here in Canada, and many more.. I can go on but there pros and cons like every country, but in all honesty I don't see myself living here forever I'm planning to move.

canada is great country to immigrate if you come from money. and your family can comfortably bankroll your stay there. but if you are going too canada thinking you'll make money, well lets just say you will be brutalised by life there. the best time to move to canada is whn doing an undergraduate degree since you get to start from the bottom in matters of work experience and build the social networks along the years. it is sad to hear cab drivers in canada most who are immigrants were doctors, some even surgeons back in their home country

They steal your youth and money at the early stages, unless you are wealthy. Then the weather and the people will slowly drain you. Especially in Toronto. And I was born there lol. I finally escaped to China, but sadly had to return due to COVID. Next I will return to my parents home country Ireland. Then I can finally relax and not feel as scammed by the set up here. Where do all the taxes go? The infrastructure is basic and ugly, the metro is deplorable. Where does all our money go?

One day their kids will forget where they come from. Very sad :(

Dear Aashir\nYou are gem of a person. \nSo sad Pakistanis didn't honored and rewarded you the way you deserve

Hello sir. i love you. you were creative man . i am sad that people like you left Pakistan

Ashir, I like you, you talk well. I would add my opinion here you are still angry about Pakistan. Yes so much is wrong in Pakistan but again so much is wrong in Canada. And equally so much is right in Canada and we all know so so much is right in Pakistan. My advice, chose your wrongs and rights carefully and wisely.\nFor viewers a hint, listen to his advice and try to practice all he says while living in Pakistan. You have almost a head start of 3-5million pkr ( which generally is consumed before immigrating/settling in Canada). Life is tough every where but tough doesn't mean sad and gloomy it can be fulfilling and rewarding whether Canada etc. Or Pakistan.

I have a question today i was checking my degree evaluation from WES site \nBut they didn't include Pakistan country in their education equivalation list i am sad \nAny other option.

Asher bhai\nV r proud to c u the same as v experienced u in Pakistan. Sadly v hav lost so many diamonds like u n v as nation r loosing our true way. May Allah ?put us on right path.

Good work but why you are so sad...

Bhai what you said I completely agreed with you entirely, this is very sad reality, what can you expect from a country where even those who are sitting there to provide justice order to demolish buildings that are residential and interestingly those who provided those houses builders and government officers are all free, imagine this is the level of our justice system.

That's just sad : (

its very sad that there is racism against Indians in America but its very good to see that these things are looked down and called out to be sad and criminal.

Sir INSHALLAH very soon my country on right track \nBut so sadly say all pakistani who can do something for Pakistan they all migrate \nOver political leaders doctor engineers and molvie \nMigration how Pakistan changes ..... \nPakistan is most beautiful mor then Canada \nFirst second beautiful capital Islamabad not in Canada . But all of u migrate we need u ....?

SHAME FOR CANDA .\nTO KILL WHOLE FAMILY .\nEVEN CRUSHED THEM BRUTALLY .\nHOW CAN BE JUSTIFIED ???\nJUST TO BURRY IN FLAG ???\nV. SAD .\nSO CALLED HUMANISTIC APPROACH / SO CALLED DEMOCRACY / SO CALLED CIVILISATION .\nDONT DISGRACE PAKISTAN .\n YOUR KNOW HOW / IDENTITY PAKISTAN .

I love both countries from Algeria ??❤️\nMaybe USA little bit more ?\nI really like Canada and Canadian people, but after watching a TV show that talks about the crimes the Canadian authorities did against the native habitants I really felt sad and disappointed.

Really sadly, pakistan me to pata nahi chulta kaise honest raha jaaey

A compelling documentary, thank you. Why is it that black people continue to be so demonised and de-humanised? It is such a shame that follow Asians and even American Natives play such a role in perpetuating racism against African descent people, but I guess they have their issues of identity. Real shame nonetheless, but one thing at the time, we still have a bigger hurdle to overcome.\n \nOf course, it is still not easy to be a black woman, man or child today. Sadly our mothers are still crying for their children being killed or overly punished by the police institution, our kids are still targeted if not simply despised for being beautiful, bright, talented, lively and brilliant beings with deeper skin tonalities, and hair that speaks for us otherwise. It is still dangerous because there is so much hatred across the world against us as we are coming to understand. And hatred is unpredictable. It comes in different ugly shapes. \n\nAfrican descent people are institutionally exposed to a lack of opportunities based on race, leading to the disproportionate poverty levels in our communities, and poverty brings your far closer to crime. That should not be so difficult to calculate. We're faced with higher mortality and disease rates, covid 19 has rubbed that to our eyes, care systems medical world is in less favour and neglect black communities. On a day-to-day, I am so insulted about the security guard that follows me in the shop, it is so disrespectful and embarrassing, that makes me move suspiciously indeed, yet so low and ignorant I don't even want to have to confront the issue. \n\nI agree with the writer who writes about his experience (and shame?) of being a black man in Canada- the same is institutionally reflected in Europe and across the world let's not be naive, we're not welcome but they should know they have no choice. I believe what he really is trying to express is based on the fear of being a black man in a hostile environment, but we should certainly have nothing to be ashamed of. \n\nOn contrary, we should be very proud because we are still here, like any other citizens paying our taxes and playing positive roles in society by major. We have positive role models are everywhere, from the single mother raising her children with force and determination to the black father who teaches at a local school, from the black girl who's achieved top grades to university to the black young man who's been headhunted from the medical school. And all of us who are just trying. \n\nLook closely. While the media will continue to do its good job demonising and stereotyping us negatively, let's not forget that we are real people with real accomplishments who have always made impactful contributions to society. \n\nHere's the thing, we are admired, loved and celebrated because of the brilliance, talent, charisma, swag and wealth we bring to contemporary culture. Everyone consumes black culture, from the filler lip service to the quick fix tan, from rock and roll to hip hop and RnB music, to sports athletes to the amazing creators out there, no need to mention names. But, we also are doctors, politicians, judges nurses, waiters, carers, scientists, builders, bankers, entrepreneurs, employees or unemployed. \n\nSadly on a day-to-day, we are not viewed as equal people, with equal rights and needs, who, by large, just want the good for our children, our families, neighbours and indeed countries. STOP INSTITUTIONAL RACISM. We are real mothers, real fathers, real children who have a birthright to equal treatment, respect and human dignity, whether or not you choose to disagree.

Just makes me so sad

What the great Canada is as xenophobic as America. Why because, every country has rules regarding the migration of people. Oh wait don't feel so sad for him, let me give you a true statement. Is the reason why good school district have ways of keeping kids from bad school districts coming to those schools and using up those resources.

Canada is one of the worset countries politically and the way they treat immigrants is sad

Its so sad seeing a lot of OFW's are being looked down because of their job in the country they are in.

2:26 Who Knew: You could Receive a BRUISED_ARM from just hearing someone 'UTTERing_A_THREAT'[?] \n? I hope that put that Sad Excuse for a Man UNDER the Jail!

Is sad what happened but her saying that she was afraid is a lie because she didn't walk away

Its my dream. \nI am so sad.

Hi\nPlease anyone from Brampton please tell me about the Health care system in Canada \nI’ve heard bad things..\nThis is sad if someone needs medical attention/first aid, and no one is there to help...I’ve heard someone was bleeding ? and the medical staff didn’t even gave him cotton or bandage to stop bleeding \nThis sucks! Apna to Canadian PR leny ka plan cancel ho raha ye sab daikh kr ?

This is very sad but sorry, we’re all accountable for our own decisions and following actions. He should have done a little research on Canadian immigration or at least on the likelihood of winning a case like that. Could’ve saved all that money

It's sad what happened to the father but I don't feel bad for him because he should have applied for his citizenship before he left his country

Working in immigration law in Canada, it’s really sad that these people don’t understand the basic information about emigrating or migrating on asylum is scary. Canada is not that different from the US....they don’t really care about these people. People who come as students or temporary workers have a way better chance of obtaining residency then just showing up in desperation.

I have big respect for Canadians because they are nice. I have worked for Sears Canada and Telus for more than 5 years. I can't believe this one happened. I'm sad. ?

Awa ra... Tugatuga og hawa sa Pilipinas unya og daugdaugon sa gawas muuli. Wake up call ni para sa tanan Pilipino. Og mugawas tanan Pilipino kinsa man ang mahabilin para magpalambo sa nasud? Hunahunaa... og wala tay maikapamana sa atoa kaapoapohan... asa man sila muuli og sila sad ang daugdaugon? ????

This all cause of CHINA VIRUS everyone are hurt from lossing work and depression is coming to everyone.. so sad that this is happening... To all asia specially to pinoys

I bet this guy has history of hitting on Asian women and gets rejected each time, and now all this pent up anger comes out. Ppl are so quick to blame others. What a sad world right now....

It is sad this is happening. To all the Asian people out there~ I love you guys! Please know not everyone feels this way!

So sad ufffff

1:44 \nThe sad thing is that he was actually telling another person to hold the camera so that he could move his car so that the woman could go

Sad to see a Canadian being racist towards an asian.. A Filipino to be exact...

For me, Canadians can have an argument without shooting each other, and Canada isn’t separated like the US which is sad.

? Love the idea of blind recruitment. I also find it so sad that skin color, ethnicity or religion should make a difference. It should make a difference in 2021 and it should have made a difference and 1521.
