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???

So... I have two daughters that were in the same high school in a town called Port McNeil. One, older and european descended and the younger, indigenous. My older daughter would frequent the local grocery store for her lunch regularly. When her younger sister began attending the same high school, she decided to join here sister at that store for lunch. Understand that my older euro daughter had been doing this every other day for the last year without incident or being approached once. The day she showed up with her sister, they were accosted by a woman who’d been “stocking the shelves” in every isle they entered and told, “you have to leave, I have better things to do than follow you around for an hour!”\nMy indigenous wife wanted to prove to me just how prevalent this was by asking me to stand an isle away from her in walmart in a near by city and sure enough, there was a person arranging the shelves a few meters away from her. This happened over and over. Shopping while indigenous is a thing.

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

I understand that Canada had slavery like the US, which I admit I was not aware of until I was an adult. Are there very many descendants of enslaved people that were enslaved in Canada? I’ve only seen Caribbean or African, mostly first gen.

People fear what they don't understand.

Merely making sartorial changes doesn't take you closer to any faith! \n\nWhile actually reading the scriptures and making due efforts to interpret the teachings in the correct way and to continuously improve your religion through positive changes and spreading the knowledge that you gain to others in a nonconformist way does.\n\nMuch of what is being spoken about here sounds like pop culture and efforts to fit in and ingratiate yourself to someone who is equally or more uninformed than you. No one but you alone can read about and understand your religion. The teachers can be mere aids and nothing more than that. The efforts have to be put in by you and you alone.\n\nThe woman with the pink sweater is the only one making complete sense here. The others themselves have no clue about what they are talking.

You would think adults, grown people, would know better than to act like this! Glad I raised my children to understand that we are all brothers and sisters under God

If someone doing such things why don't your governments throw them out of the country and take back the citizenship? WHY???? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND!!!!! I DON'T! Could anyone explain to me????

I had to explain to my handicap sister that has cerebral palsy and walks with a walker that has the basket seat....that when she is shopping even when I am or not with her...not to use her walker basket to hold items she is going to buy. I told her to get a store basket and sit it on top of the seat to store the items she is going to purchase so she will not be accused of shoplifting. Because she also has a speech impediment and many people will be rude And not give her time to explain her situation. It's sad that I had to explain that scenario to her ...but she understands...and always uses the store basket placed on her walker seat.

I have no problem with skin color or race. I do have a problem when I go to the doctor's office and cannot understand half of what the doctor is saying to me. I do have a problem when I call for technical service and cannot understand half of what the technician is saying. This is frustrating. If people with another first language want to work for American companies where communication is a big part of the job, I only wish they would speak more fluently. I had this very situation this morning. Called for service, could not understand through heavy accent. He was getting very frustrated with me. If I went to another country it would be up to me to learn to speak that language. I dealt with this in the hospital...and in this setting it can be critical. I spoke to the Chief of Residency because of a potentially harmful situation and was told the residents all meet their requirements for English. well, whoopdido...that did not help either of us when a patient was going south.

These two countries are very similar every side like currency name, area language culture political system education ..... etc except the population although they are almost same equal area why US is so populated and canada is less densely populated That is not fair I don’t understand here ??

Very interesting! If you want to understand more about Canadian sport girls, then this is the right video: https://youtu.be/dybMVHzMxQs

There are still so many ignorant people who don’t understand the day to day struggles of being a person of color. It’s shameful and DISGUSTING. They literally disgust me, lollll

Canadians are way nicer than Americans, they have better education. They dont curse, they more understanding and racional.I have worked in the customer care industry for over 10 years and I've noticed the huge difference

18:37: “Sometimes you just have to tolerate that behaviour a little bit.”\nBut why should people “tolerate it” weren’t we all taught the same lessons in kindergarten too speak up when someone was treating ourselves or other unfairly? I truly do not understand this sentence. It’s said by a white person so maybe he just isn’t getting it. I understand that It’s not easy to put yourself in someone else shoes, but come on man. Don’t tell people of colour to “just tolerate it” in fear of coming off as a SJW. That’s how the bullies win. Buzzwords can’t hurt you but racial profiling dose and has.

People's are trying to figure out why more Black people's are being affected by this virus because God is trying to bring his own chosen people's to repentence and they're to stupid to understand God has all ways been hard on his Chosen People's then any other nations in the world and all ways has been and that's the truth.

Why the liberal smart media found it hard to understand the reality of Islam

Stop saying that Muslims need to go back to their Muslim countries, GREAT IDEA but first leave their countries alone first, stop causing wars, financial crisis and other issues in their countries and all of them will happily go back to their so called sharia law countries and guess what????? we will have a major problems in running many different systems in our amazing democratic countries such as the medical industry, just a fun fact..... most of our physicians and pharmacists are actually Muslims also they are the core to so many sectors in N-America and Europe...... I really want them to make that big decision and go back to their home countries and serve their homes just so you all would UNDERSTAND how important these people are to us and why our governments are actually accepting them and even attracting them to come and live, work here but they will never admire these great humans just becouse they are Muslims (history shows that we were the haters and terrorists against them, they were always trying to protect themselves and their land from us) but again we never really learn from history.........

It's a great expose Keean be sure to keep your stress down and immune system up we don't want you getting sick on their account either. They all pretend to not understand English too or some of them probably don't so that makes it harder too.

Do those cops understand English? Zombie land has taken over..This is unreal and crazy to our country.

WHAT TYPE OF NON SNESE SHARIA LAW THEY ARE IMPOSING. I REQUEST PEOPLE OF UK TO HANG THEM. Hate then from a Pakistani muslim ??????. SHAME ON THEM. No one is allowed to impose sharia law on non Muslim and non Muslim country. Its only allowed in a Muslim country. I hope people of west understand

Let's face the reality. Discrimination is a fact of life whether it's legal or not. But it's not all about race. Anyone can be discriminated against because of the way they look, act, dress, even the way they walk and talk. You can have two people from the same ethnic group and they can have a totally different experience. For me, it's mostly positive. Not only it's positive, I felt I have an upper hand because of my race. If people like you, they will be color blind. If they don't, it doesn't matter what race you are. So please stop this type of racial dividing message. What you should promote is property etiquette in different cultures and help people become part of the melting pot and understand each other better so we can all get along.

First of all I don't understand what is Islamic Studies , They don't want to be a better Human being , They want to be better Muslim. I wonder

Every person with some commonsense should be able to UNDERSTAND how ISIS came about to be formed and sponsored by the you know who. Think people and not believe what the media says always.

I understand both sides, my heart goes out to that man but rules are rules but may he find a way. I see a lot of stone hearted comments. It’s not so easy as people make it seem Abe most of you are talking ignorance because you are privileged and so am I for the record. Life is hard for most people but maybe he can make it there or somewhere else. I admire any man or woman trying to feed and provide for his or her family. May the universe administers it’s tools to those who act the behalf of others she trust the processes.

who wants to understand in islam and muhammad?\nJust reading (the story of Banu Qurayza) is enough.\n\ni am Kurdish, I was Muslim\ni know every thing about Islam?

I am Cypriot and maybe I do not understand certain cultures. But why do people differ because of skin colour. And why we see people as black or white. We are the same in different shades of beige to brown.I do not see white or black in skin.It is not natural. We humans come in different shades. sizes, skills and talents. By the way I am a shade light to medium if anyone is interested.

I am really lost to understand why the people don't accept that their is a separate species among them called muslims.for instance muslim women have only one part which need sunlight and Air.

Thanks so much for addressing this topic. I'm from Central America hold dual citizenship speak Spanish and English and French fluently the amount of racism I've experienced as a Librarian in the USA is so unreal a so called progressive professional field yet I am faced with their nonsense thanks for helping me understand their behavior and to correctly label their actions.

Originally from the Philippines here and once a homeless man told me to go back where I came from. I'm actually surprised he said that, I’m just a passerby.\n\nIt hurts a bit but then I moved on. I think racism is everywhere. People just don’t have the time and mental energy to understand and know each other, I guess.\n\nThat is why I’m telling my son to have a good solid ground of resilience (aka not be to be a snowflake). Life is too short to wallow on this. We came to Canada as immigrants, do not except everyone to treat you like a first class citizen. But the way you act, the way you do, and how you treat people around you may earn you respect regardless of your color, race or creed.

I didn't understand your words very much, but it is not easy to immigrate to Canada. I have a university degree in financial management, but I find it difficult to immigrate because Many conditions for language and money.

Hey Igor thank you for helping people to understand what is going on about immigration process , but one Thing that I wanna say is the job offer is something impossible to get it from outside of Canada those Websites that you shared with us for finding jobs Is useless I'm sorry to say that because when you click on information about jobs it tell if you're not in Canada the owner will not response your request so that the whole process will be useless !!

This is a good exersize to do. I think it could help all of us to understand ourselves and to be better people.

Islamic republic of canada coming soon...???? I don't understand what western world is trying to do?

Muslims don't understand democracy. They only understand votebanks. That is how they got Trudeau. They cook the system so that they can have their agenda.

I have read a lot of these replies and they all said that why didn't he learn English language. I myself have asked this question to some of my coworkers and this was there reply that was told to me by another person who understood what they said IT'S FREEDOM OF SPEECH and they got mad cause I laughed and said that is not what that means but yet they all got mad .but after they were told what it really meant was just as confusing as what they have been believing that it ment that they didn't have to learn a new language and now they have all are and have learned English. So my point is that it's not that they don't want to learn the language but they were denied the truth. I am by far taking up for anyone I am just asking for help with the understanding that if they didn't learn English is because they were told that they didn't have to that's all. And if I can learn a new language then why can't anyone else.

You don’t understand how many times me and my family have been followed in stores ??

i really dont understand muslim religion... confusing

Don't be like child. Don't believe anything you see on the media. Read about it. Than you will understand more. Zionist they created the ISIS. They support terrorist. They gave them weapon. Zionist want to control the world. Read about them as well.

2:49 - 3:06 unless you understand the magnitude of what's just been said, you'll never understand the Canadian reality ?\nI love this country, that's why I'm saying that. I just love myself more, and that's why I end up doing whatever I'm doing

As an African American it was heartbreaking seeing Leeland going through all this especially when he went to the Super-mart bug pharmacy store or whatever it's called. It's grows from you being calm, to paranoid, then full on anxiety knowing that you are being followed or watched. Then there's an underlying feeling of anger and you keep telling yourself to relax because you haven't done any thing wrong. I've experienced this many times b4 especially when I was younger or go into a store with my younger sister who is 17, I am 27. There's solidarity in knowing someone else experiences this as well and understands how you feel, but it's sad as well because no one should experience this.

Psychology student here. In the interest of accurate information, I would like to point out some flaws I find with some of the studies in this documentary and question the conclusions reached. I understand that CBC Marketplace are not personality psychologists and therefore cannot be expected to produce the same quality of work as a scientist. However, I think it is worthwhile to think critically about the information in the media that we consume. I am also open to anyone who wants to engage in debating the contents of this documentary.\n\n\nThe following are some notes I took while watching the documentary outlining the individual hypotheses of the studies I think are flawed and descriptions of their respective accompanying errors. \n\n\nThere are three possible research questions, and thereby dependent variables, being answered by the apartment hunting studies.\n1. If there is no discrimination between the white man and the first-nations man, then they should get equal treatment, including quotes and availability, when apartment hunting. \na. Could the gender of the landlord be a confounding variable (perhaps men are more discriminatory than women)? \n \n2. If there is no discrimination between the white man and the first-nations man between Toronto, Montreal, Regina, and Victoria, then they should get equal treatment, including quotes and availability, when apartment hunting. \na. Could total apartments visited be a confounding variable? (4 in Toronto, 3 in Montreal, Regina, and Victoria) \nb. Could the gender of the landlord be a confounding variable (perhaps men are more discriminatory than women)? \nc. They only showed the black man apartment hunting in some of the trials. I am considering him out of the study for consistency purposes. The first-nations man is the only one who got unfair treatment in the footage of apartment hunting. \n \n3. Possible hypothesis: If male landlords/agents are more discriminatory than female landlords/agents, then the white man and the first-nations man will get different treatment at different Canadian apartments in equally diverse cities. \na. Don’t know all the information about the genders of the landlords/agents, not all the footage is shown, but the ones where they get ripped off are male. The others shown are female. The remaining interactions are not shown.\n\n\nThere are also some factors that may have influenced the racial bias survey and, in my estimation, rendered it scientifically unreliable.\n\n\n1. The bias survey and accompanying tests at the CBC attributed the differences between the studies to unconscious racism. What if it was just due to familiarity with certain racial groups over others? \na. The black participants had no bias between European-American and African Americans, supposedly indicating no racism, while the white and first-nations participants did, supposedly indicating racism. Is it possible that another interpretation of this result is that bias is a function of familiarity: that we are comfortable with the majority demographic in the geographical location we live in, as well as our own kind. Therefore, the black guys are less biased against black people due to being both black and living in a white majority demographic? \nb. The participants took the survey knowing the objectives of the researchers was to study racial discrimination. They might have influenced the answers they gave \nc. Whether the participants agreed with identity politics or not was a confounding factor that was not controlled . You can only be racially unbiased biased if you think that racial identity is a means of accurately viewing the world. People who do not believe in the existence of identity politics may answer the questions quite differently, which could be a different reason for the results.\nd. I took the study myself. The words that participants were required to match were a mix of adjectives and nouns. It is known within psychology that nouns have higher levels of imagery. This was not properly controlled and therefore is another confounding variable. \n \nAll the other studies looked fine to me. I welcome any discussion on my observations.

Niqab should not be worn in public, i understand people didnt give her money. Looks like she is hiding her identity.

Living in Canada for almost 3 decades, feel pretty safe & understand ppl in the street. But this few yrs, crime rate jump so much & I do not understand many ppl on the street. They not speak English. Canada is turning into a place very different nowadays. If I have enough money, I will leave . Poland seems a good place to migrate?

I have no understanding as to why this even still needs to be tested. All this does is make ones feel worse about themselves. This is why we need OUR OWN shopping districs... all first nation indigenous black people. That way we have choices...

Why is it called racism? Blacks are black. White people are white. Even if you swooped them around for a generation or so,,, the blacks will still be black and behave black,,, and the whites would still be white. How long has this been going on for??? Blacks are black. And whites are white. I really don't understand the drama. For gods sake,,, you're black, you're white,,,, go live, just get on with it. This is the most nonsensical world wide debate ever. What do you want??? All of us to be black? All of us to be white? Swop places? Just accept this ( from the beginning of time) difference. Know who you are. Know where you belong. Don't trespass. You'll be content and happy.

To be fair the situation is difficult, having worked in retail before there is plenty of shoplifting on a daily basis so I can understand why staff are trained to use procedures to make shoplifting less likely, it does result in an unpleasant experience for customers if they are misprofiled and unfortunately people do misjudge or assume that certain types of people are more likely to steal. A lot of shoplifting is actually surprisingly done by old people, and its usually not intentional, sometimes they just simply forget to pay.

Gm edagdwg thanks for sharing no matter what people say or do hold on to God's hand no matter what people say I don't understand how real life keeps people afraid of being yourself I love myself as a child of God Linda j peace ❤️ ?? ?
