For the shopping experience, they have the guys go in carrying hand bags. That's going to get their attention since shoplifters could easily put things into the bags and most people don't bring computer bags, hand bags etc when they shop.\n\nI've had instances where people were awful to me for no apparent reason (I'm white), and it struck me that if i was black, I would attribute the terrible treatment to racism since I couldn't think of any other reason for the bad treatment. \n\nAnother form of racism not covered here is the racism of low expectations. If people assume that you are too dumb to understand something or too poor to afford something, that's wrong. Same holds true for treating women as if they won't understand. Usually this behavior is done, not by bad people, but by people who just haven't had a lot of interactions with different people of different races. So they haven't had the chance to have those stereotypes personally disproven.

I feel for anyone being discriminated against, here its really hard to get an apartment if you are on assistance, ODSP. Is for disability of many types. All you need to do to see it is go on kijiji. Students and working individuals. And you might think they have their reasons but I have paid my bills. I am quiet, if that isn't discrimination. Enough said. That guy is a scared guy. Scared of change. But that is another discrimination , any woman who walks alone may be subject to unwanted attention. OK I'm done now! Much love to all.

There must be a reason for all this 'racial profiling by stores, landlords and companies'. I wonder what it's about?

I am now drawn to the city of Regina for some reason after hearing how it's actually pronounced.

So when a store monitors anyone that is non white, it is solely for racial reasons. BS. a retailer has the right to monitor anyone and everyone regardless of race or skin color. so take your unproven assumptions and go to hell.

Oh that’s the reason why some of these Chinese can’t even speak English

Well one of the reasons free health care works is because of our small population soo .

The niqab test was ridiculous because a lady wearing the niqab for genuine cultural reasons would never be on the sidewalk engaging with, and soliciting strangers for money, charitable or otherwise.

8:17 BEST BUY Hello people Just before the COVID 19 pandemic struck our Country, in the United States of America. My son and I were shopping at Best Buy. We had more than five or six different people ask if we needed assistance. My Son would say no thanks, and I would ask each one that did ask if I needed help, to help me. That associate would show me where to look, then try real hard to get away from me. This happened at least five to six times. All six times, I said yes. Finally, they stopped asking me and continued to ask my son. The reason my son would say no thanks is because he was just looking. I, on the other hand, had questions about what I wanted to buy. They did a great job answering all of my questions, however, when it came to buying what I wanted to buy most of all of the associates had either left the area or went home, because I could not find anyone when it came down to purchasing the items I wanted, only to find out what I wanted was made in China, They no longer carry the product, in their stores, or online. However, they still had the items on display; however, you just could not buy them. P.S. We are white.

Lmao these guys getting all butt hurt over not getting their hands shaken. The stereotypes exist for a reason. Blame your own people not the ones who've adjusted their guard.

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???

REALITY IS ALSO;\nIT HAPPENS MONEY IS SPEND FOR THE WRONG REASONS. SO HOW DO YOU REACT WHEN YOU KNOW THIS HAPPEN ALSO.\nNetherlands

Like this video i live in USA i have dark skin and when i'm in best buy i can't get anyone to help me with anything but my friend that is light skin got help with in mins so reason i'm bring this up and something it can go either way

American here. The way Canada spells colour and centre is technically the correct way. Rather than color and center. Because that’s the way the language was invented. Us Americans changed it for no reason.

I'm proud Canadian ??don't forget we always say sorry no reason ??Canadian very peaceful people

My opinion is... I love both countries cause they speak English. \nThe reason I love the USA = Big pizzas, and burgers\nThe reason I love Canada = Cold climate, friendly people\n\nDisclaimer: I've never been to this countries before, hope someday I'll go and experience their culture ?

Poutine, man, I LOVE poutine - want to go back to Canada where I went last year along with New York City and poutine is one reason I’d go back to ??

If we automatically think someone is racist we have reason to if we don't trust that easily we have reason to can't blame us

The only real Candians are First Nations and Mohawk. Everyone else is immigrant. The only reason that woman speaks that way is because their ancestors immigrated long ago.

What is the disparity of shop lifters, could that be a reason?

Islam don't teach you to be violance without reasons. Some muslims are just bad. And i as a muslim don't agree with them on not defending them.

Reasons for Canadians to move to the USA:\n\n\n1. Less taxes\n\n\n2. Less taxes\n\n\n3. Less taxes\n\n\n4. Less Taxes\n\n\n5. Less Taxes\n\n\n6. Less Taxes\n\n\n7. Less Taxes\n\n\n8. Less Taxes\n\n\n9. Less Taxes\n\n\n10. Less Taxes

Maybe your liberal open door policies which have ruined Europe aren't working. Islam has no place outside of Muslim countries. Say what you wish and i mean no harm by saying it but Islam has fractions which are still violent and barbaric. We dont go over and populate their countries for a reason. WE DONT FIT IN

this is what people meant, not closing the border to goods and commerce. but to people travelling for frivolous reasons.

YouTube only allows me to see 20 comments now for some reason. Anyone else have this problem?

Coward men thats the ONLY reason they wear these...every reason they give came from A COWARD MAN

Do not call it Racism call it reason by crimes commited by race in you do not believe me take a walk through a black neighborhood after dark then walk through a white neighborhood after dark no matter what color you are !

Jews Cristian and Hindus believe in Democratic world and Republic principals ....and that is the main reason they allowing those islamic saitan to grow on their respective countries which needs to stop immediately.....And start send them to islamic countries

Then don't cover your face for no reason! The Qurran doesnt say to have your face covered. Its a man's interpretation of it. What are they expecting being in Canada?!

Stereotypes exist for a reason... there's some kind of truth to them. White person cant dance? ...not 100% true, maybe closer to 85%. Close enough to true to be a stereotype.

I have trust in our immigration systems and I can assure you, if his asylum claim AND subsequent appeal were both denied, there is a reason. He is not a bonafide refugee. His testimony either lacked crediblity or was bogus.

The problem is NOT color, it's CULTURE. In Mexico, Mexican landlords would rather rent to Americans and Canadians than to other Mexicans, their waiters would rather wait on foreigners, and their cabbies will turn down five locals in hopes of getting a gringo passenger. Profiling is based on the accuracy of the statistical probability of incidence. Instead of being offended, be realistic. People have every right (and reason) to be reserved or suspicious for whatever reason they choose. Prove them wrong (without whining and/or rioting) if you want it to stop.

Besides the fact that they always look really CREEPY, you have to remember these are a tribal people that have about 3 or 4 families, all packed together and living in a single 3 or 4 bedroom house (all sleeping on floors like they would in a desert tent, back home) and their houses always stink of potent curry spice. So if you live next door to them, you cannot open your windows or relax in the backyard without choking from the constant potent stink 24/7. That is another reason why 'white' people move out of the area immediately!

Bhai Germany bhi mat aana ...lagbhag same reason hain...aajkal hi video banayi hai maine.....hindi me germany ki ?

They deserve no clemency. It's mainly for monetary reasons these people come to Canada; if they weren't wealthy already in Chine they would not even be able to do this to begin with.

Oh yeah Yeah ! England is now Islams Den . English will have to pay the price of their diplomacy . As duri Indo- Pak war English supported Pakistan without any reason.

A religion that has 165 verses of hatred has a reason to be hated!

A lot of corporate stores have greet rules. If a customer walks within x distance from you, then the rule says you're supposed to greet and ask them if they need assistance. The reason I'm saying this is because some employees follow the rule all the time, some forget. There could be some randomality to how often employees will ask you if you need any help finding anything.

There is good reason to be sometimes.

At around 18:20\nHe feels uncomfortable for receiving more friendly attention, and assumes the woman's reasoning.\nWhat if she wanted to sleep with you and not the others?\nHe admits being a very friendly guy, does he expect his friendliness to be met with insistence?\nHe'd complain either way, as he does in all the examples.\nToo much attention, too little, and just right are all wrong when compared to the other 2 guys ?

Stereotypes are not stereotypes for no reason!

Aren't you guys breaking the law with panhandling deal? Aren't you lying about the true reason your asking for money?\nTaking money under false pretenses is a crime in the USA, even while begging.\nI'm not sure about Canada, but it.seems like it would be.\nMarketplace basically lied to the people who gave donations as lure to use them to make money off their tv show

Thai here. Used to study at US for 5 years. Got a job at a local mart owned by a couple of Thai elders. I was super liberal back then but after 4 - 5 months.... Turne out stereotyes exist for a reason. I don't like it but that's how it is. We didn't have enough staffs to keep eyes on every customers. And 95% of all the shoplifters are a certain specific race. \n\nThey don't even care about the cameras. Only way to prevent loss is keeping eyes on them and get the merchantdises back when they tried to fled.

Is this the reason why I have a hard time getting a job? I refuse to put my race down because I have been discriminated against. Can I use? He'll no I am white. This could be a hindered.

I used to work at a Shoppers in highschool, Theres no reason to be in a store browsing for 20min without attracting attn. As a shelf stocker I always had my eyes on the mirrors for people not exibiting proper behaviors.

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.

What Is the reason for the fraud?

I don't want to sound communal.I respect all religions. But my belief is that Islam has justified violence, forced conversions, jihad that is war, distinction between Muslims and non Muslims and that Islam does not allow integration of Muslims into other cultures. Said that non_ Muslims have a reason to fear Muslims. The fear of Islam is not unfounded. So it is upto the Muslims to look inward and address these issues and build up a dialogue with the non_muslims

The reason why i give you a thumbs down is your security expert I'm not buying it. I mean you can't blame me In this day of age with the garbage you guys put out there How do I know hes a real security guard for that store? I think you're trying to paint all whites as badd and the security guard head a moment of conscience for doing his job????? Is it really that slow of a news week where you have to bring Division and hate and anger to your channel think about what you morons are doing That's all I'm asking.

Montrealer here. Caribbean restaurants are notorious for having poor service, irregular hours, poor hygiene, long wait times, inconsistent food etc. I've seen them come and go by the dozens and it's sad bc so many of them have really great, whole food (nothing processed) for a decent cost but the reason they can't stay open has more to do with work ethic and business management than patronage. \n\nWe have a huge caribbean community and the locals love the food too but once u get attached to one of these places, they disappear a few months later. Jamaicans especially, Trinidadians seem to be able to make the business side work better.
