I've literally had a bath and body works employee hand me a blue hand basket immediately entering the store (looking back its probably easier to look for me in the store) and then follow me around basically being my personal shopper which was kinda weird and obvious and once she saw I had on body glitter she was inclined to show me body glitters. I'm like I already have that product so I'm fine. She got the hint but u know that feeling when someone's looking at u..I would immediately make eye contact with multiple employees staring at me and they would damn near break their neck turning away. After about 10 mins of this I fr left the basket where I stood and watched as most of the employees watched me leave. My white husband was there and noticed everything as well. I literally had $400 cash on me and had just left sephora after spending an additional $200 there (I never carry cash but just had to mention that as I could've bought whatever I wanted) . They say hindsight is 20/20 and I definitely felt the discrimination
@Frank DeFalco honestly don't you think your claim of 99% is a bit too high? What do you have to back up that percentage? Or it's just your feeling/guts is telling you that?
@@Ang.0910 Because it doesn't make much sense to say unless you are Aboriginal, lol XD Everyone else's "family heritage" comes from a different continent, mostly. Immigration is the only reason the USA and Canada are populated the way they are. If someone lives in an native-slaughtering-immigrant-founded country, "Go back to your country" is very silly to say, lmao!! How can you possibly take someone who would say that seriously, you know? I love the response to that absurd question being "Oh, sorry, I didn't realize you were Native!". It's not the best comeback, but it's a good one.
Whenever shop keepers ask me if I need help incessantly I always say "absolutely" and proceed to grill the hell out of them about the most mundane items in the store. 🤣🤣🤣
Oh my goodness yes!. Yet, they have now opened their cashless store(s). If they breach out more to more cities. I wonder will people be more accepting of it since we all know it is the go to place to shop online despite being cashless....
I see what you mean. A few years ago my mom and I were followed in the store. Some lady once even gave my mom a funny look because we're related. Her skin's darker then mine.
Worked retail and profiling almost never work and was absolutely disgusting.. “watch those black ppl that came in”… meanwhile Susie is robbing the jewelry section walking right out!

This is the "systemic" racism that everyone swears is not real. Everyone is biased, but the end result affects you differently depending on your ethnicity. It could be deadly if you are a Black person.

Lmao it’s funny to see North Americans say to people to “Go back to their countries” I guess they don’t remember that they are originally from Europe lol
Well Europe hates Americans even though we are from there. I won't go there now because of how much they despise us. My mother's parent were from Italy and when she went there they said, "You aren't Italian, you are American" and shrugged her off. I was very sad to hear that. My family should've never came here. People think it's Paradise and it's not. It's just like everywhere else. We are all the same. Humans.
im from north america, and we (natives) are probably the most intollerarted in our owe home country. i dont have a crimminal record & im treated like more of a crimminal than the real crimminals.
If you ever do a test like this again, please include a person with a disability and how very few stores will hire them. Particularly people in wheelchairs. Face it... a Shopping Mall would be perfect for them as stores don't have steps to climb. But take the challenge.... Go to any Shopping Mall and see if you can find ONE Store that has HIRED a person in a wheelchair.
I have a disabilities that makes it difficult to stand or be on my feet often and Im also hard of hearing and wear hearing aids. The only accommodations I need is the ability to sit and work and for people to be mindful when talking to me and sometimes speak up and repeat themselves. It's not that difficult you'd think but as soon as I explain my situation in an interview they always turn me down afterwards. My difficulties don't come close to others and it's really upsets me A) because I'm unemployed and B) realizing how much harder itd be to be hired if you have more debilitating disabilities than myself.
I've been followed in grocery stores by "undercover" security. Once they even stopped me as I was walking out with my groceries to go over the receipt to check EVERY SINGLE ITEM. It was ALL paid for. And asked me to empty out the food from all the bags onto the sidewalk right outside the doors. Instead of bringing me into a private room they publicly humiliated me!! And people where staring as they would walk in and out. They did this because they saw me with my hand inside my pocket which a lot of people do in lines, like to grab your wallet etc. I think they did it because I am poor and paid with FS. If your white and your socioeconomic status is on the poverty side people treat you equally as bad as they would with all the other minorities! People also will yell at you if your on any public assistance. As if you don't deserve it. When in reality they have no clue about anything in your life and you could be disabled even if it's not visible. You could have a mental disability and are being harassed by a complete stranger. People suck.
Complain to the manager, document it and complain to headquarters, and shop elsewhere. However if you live in an area where there is a lot of poverty, the store may feel they need to do this to reduce loss, to stay in business. Stores with acceptably low loss prefer not to aggravate customers. Essentially you are suffering this because of other people shoplifting. What is a store to do? Innocent until proven guilty is one option, but apparently they feel that isn't working out well. It might also be that you look suspicious, if you tend to have anxiety or paranoia that will cause body language typical of a novice shoplifter.
Bob Roberts you just spoke the truth you have seen the real world unlike other people who think everyone in this world is nice and nothing will ever happen to them
I live in Michigan just over the Ontario CA border 20 minutes. I use to take my dogs over and show in Canada, go to the Casino's and Sam's Club as its much cheaper there with my US Dollar. UNTIL I got a flat tire on the Canadian side and was going to see if I could hitch a ride to the other side where my phone worked (USA) A man and his family offered to give me a ride across the Sarnia bridge. We were about halfway over the bridge and he ask me what I was going to the USA for, I said I live there........He pulled right over and told me to get out. Said he hates the US and its people. So please don't say Canadian's are sweet, as most are NOT when you are from the USA lmbo. Especially when you bring your dogs into their country and take Best Of Breed every weekend. HA! The words they say are naughty!!
The lady who was grabbed by the store staff when the alarm went off with her grandson. I’m so proud of her for standing up for herself and showing an example for her grandson.
There is ZERO excuse for that kind of behavior. You can bet if it had been a large man-who might just take offense in a physical way-then he would not be treated like that. They pick on people they see as unable to put up a defense. My, those lawsuits can get expensive, though, and SOME people will sue because of the mistreatment-as they ALL should!
what do black people act like? .... uh exactly. I guess the point went over your head. they say there is a correlation between stupidity and racism. looky here. some of you guys are slow as molasses.
No , I don't feel jealous, I feel frustrated, because I know I am not less class person than anyone, Iam paying me taxes, respect the law, like any good Canadian, I should be treated like a good person with respect
Black men go through this everytime you go into a store. I know people who have anxiety about going into stores because of the stress of being followed

Yes, happened to my mom in Goldcoast Australia twice, once in train and once In bus by teenagers(her tooth broke off). Only in the bus, a man is brave enough to block her, but got beaten too.
18:37: “Sometimes you just have to tolerate that behaviour a little bit.” But 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.
most people will speak up only if it affects them negatively. WHen i was working in China last year I saw a Chinese Police officer who was in the process of dealing with the African man simply get up as if the man did not exist and ask me what I needed and she handed me my passport. I didnt say anything because I always enjoy it when i get special treatment and I know about my white privilege and will use it to my advantage.
@Daddy Dollaz if a person of another race was getting special treatment over another do you think they would actually try to even the playing field? I highly doubt any person who has power in society is going to do things to diminish that power unless something forces them to.
I hate to say it almost comes off like slavery times: you stand up for another race, that makes you a "n***** lover". It's viewed as fighting someone else's battle. I'm not saying this is right AT ALL. I'm saying it starts a problem of confronting people that don't see an issue, which can put the average "white guy" in a bad light. Then freedom of speech comes in, who was here first, who has a right to be here, etc. Standing up for injustice sounds easy...a lot of people can't handle confrontation and take the path of minding their business. Get involved? Something could go wrong and "I don't want to be associated with that...but I think what they're doing is wrong."...it's so common until it's about a handicap, mental disease, or someone just having a bad attitude. We truly pick our battles and some of us are brave enough to bring it to their attention. "Sometimes you have to tolerate it" refers to other white people's views in this instance. But it's how it was said. If a person of color was told to "just tolerate it" from a white person, it's seen as racism. If a person of color says this to another person of color, they've been down the road before and "it's not worth it" to confront them. Inflection and race put together...matter so much here in America. This is news to me about Canada, but I can't say I'm surprised. 😥
@@bosslady1973 personally i think discrimination is bad for many reasons. Refusing to hire someone because they are of a certain race can hurt a business due to potential boycotts from that community not to mention possible loss of revenue due to that person's potential skills. However, a private citizens should have the right to associate with whoever they want. If i only want to hire Russians or Chinese at my and no one else than I should be able to do so. If i only want to rent properties I own to Arabs, Turks, or Iranians than I should be able to do so. If I only want to allow Brazilians, Peruvians, and Mexicans to be members of my club than I should be free to do so as long as these institutions are ones I privately own. If it is publicly owned than opportunities should go to the best qualified.
@@boyar1978 So there's a difference between a public and a private citizen. Meaning a private citizen can display discrimination but a public citizen cannot...🤔

You should follow them back and then yell at them for stealing your ancestors land. I did that in Michigan when i was followed around a store. And then followed them back asking for their manager as well.
It's disgusting and sad that in Canada people are still, in the 21st century , being judged by the color of our skin. This is a great time to air this program, during the truckers protest.

@ryan norris Sounds like you're trying to make some statement of the term "native" which is something that I honestly find kind of funny.. Everyone comes from somewhere and we are all related, so the person you're trying to pull a rebuttal is also related to you to an extent.. But nowadays, the terminology for "native" or first nations, really isn't the evolution of people, since we all came from a common ancestor, but one of the earliest people to have settled on this continent on this drifting rock in space.. Not surprising how you reacted though.. Especially from someone who is, as you would say, a "limp dicked" supercilious cur..
Esau at the end of the day , white black , natives or whom ever. No one and I mean no one is BETTER than the next person . Got it! Doesn’t matter who conquered who over a piece of land . ‘Natives should be thankful’ ?? Who died and left white people God that other people should be thankful because of them ? People like you like to use your ‘boldness’ or disguised honesty to spread hate. And who cares if you dislike something or someone.... you and about billions of other people think this , no biggie and certainly no one is losing sleep over it . You have a fabulous day Esau 😉
Natives are ALTAIC people. The ones in Canadian are middle eastern Muslim Turkic people. DNA haplogroups eastern and western Altaic region. You’ve all been deceived. The elect in Canada have all been deceived.
Who to blame? Our back home corrupt countries, our governments failed to manage a country with a rich resources . Why always we have to blame others . Every native are scared of immigrants newcomers because they are going to take their jobs , take advantages of their social welfare system ( tax payers money 💰) and more seriously their identity and values that their ancestors fought hard for them so their kids will have a better life will be challenged. Put yourself in their shoes you will react with same reactions. I’m a traveler I know how bad racism in those 3rd world countries witch my country one of em. Just trying to see things right . We need to start appreciate and be thankful to North America or Europe that accepted us to come and live among them, we got jobs food home education....I can’t ask for more . If an American ask you where are you from then you replied : im from Ohio for example, then ask you again: ok no I mean where you are from ? ( want to know your background) Then you got offended while your face look Asians or latinos or East Asian....then believe me you got issues you need to deal with right away. My American girl friend when we first meet, She told with a pride : I’m an 3rd generations American but I’m Hungarian and Polish descent . She said with pride. Man this the right answer If you feel ashamed of your Chinese ancestors or Koreans or India 🇮🇳 or African ancestors ....so in this case you need to see a specialist. It’s good sometimes to take time and look ourselves in the mirror. Skin Colours and our differences are the most charming our plant .
He was treated equal so they did not include the footage as it did not fit the narrative that is being pushed. Selective editing can make almost anyone think anything. Imagine if major news networks did stories like these but instead found a happy twist and reported the truth, as is? Why I dunno, people might start learning how to unite on common interests and go from there instead of the other way around, ya think? Intelligent men with devious minds have formed goups of people that run the entire world right now. They have built an entire world founded on lie aftter lie, after lie. They want us to fight each other (world-wide) so they have the perfect reason to enact Martial Law and appoint a world leader to run a one world government. Control is the name of the game. But hey, who wants to get into all of that complicated (but provable) stuff. It's easier to point the finger at the struggling middle/lower class guy down the street as the "real" problem in society. I long for peace in this realm we all were born into and it cannot come quick enough.
My name is a French name but I am Haitian 🇭🇹. I remove my last name of my resume and kept my 1st name and middle name I did get more responses. Than when spoken to on the phone they assume White. The fun part when I get to the interview I'm giving a look like am I lost, like I didn't belong there. When asked " How can we help you"? I state my name I'm here for an interview their face expression change more towards a negative from there I knew I wasn't going to get the job; of course I'm told to have a seat while I'm 15 minutes early for my interview that was for 10 am but I wasn't called in for my interview not till about 45 minutes later no apologies of why late it's fine but I already knew the outcome. I'm guessing they wanted to test my patience well I sat patiently the crazy thing it's like I was a strange thing; people came out from different doors it's like they came to look at me but indirectly. I was dressed for the interview navy blue suit, heels 3", hair in pony tail, casual powdered face barely noticed the powder on my skin, sat up straight, I had driven 45 minutes for this interview. I Entertained the interviewer knowing what the outcome; than I was asked two questions that should never been asked at an interview. I chuckled and laughed in the inside guess what the ending was. "Don't call us we'll call you we have many applicants to interview thank you for coming" not a single apology for interviewing me 45 minutes later and NOT one approach we'll be with you shortly. Today I work in guest services at a Hotel whom isn't to different from the interviewer and the guest often think I'm white until I have to see them in person. When I appear they said to me I'm waiting for .... I greet them but when I say I am ..... their face expression changes. In this huge Hotel chain I've also dealt with discrimination from managements as well. #sadtosay I've dealt with worst where my life was almost taken if I would have sneezed that would have been the end of me. I was told I fit a description while wearing a suit broad day light coming from work as a bank teller at the time the only description was being Black. I'll say this it hurts to the core, some what traumatize by theses experiences that have not been good. Therefore; watching this segment was very emotional for me thank you for sharing; people truly need to see this often. Have a great weekend everyone and love one another.
I had the same thing happen to me, except it was 1 hour. Then, interviewer was sick. I felt bad but she sneezed all over my resume, all over her hands. She could've rescheduled, but no. Then the next day I got another job right away from a white business, and I got all of my co-workers sick! Never forgot that. Never will. Ew. People act digusting honestly. It's disgraceful and I will never understand the pride in that.
Unlike Americans, Canadians don't want to acknowledge that racism exists in Canada. Just Look at the comments, many deny racism or think that this program is garbage. This is sick.
No...leave it alone. While they followed me and my filipino friend around the store, our white friend Gordon would stock up and we shared in the spoils later at the park. You have to use racism to your advantage seeing that its not going anywhere.
9:10 That makes me sad because I always get ask for help in one target and best buy all the time and just thought they were being help but not it made me realize they may not be.
Change ur name, its very simple to do so. We dont have to be stuck with our parents ahole name choices if its hurting us in life. Fix it instead of blaming the world
Very sad to be accused when you've done nothing. Two of my daughters were accused in a department store years ago. After my husband wrote a letter to the manager they sent a check to one of my daughters for $400.00. The security cop followed them thru the mall into another store then asked them both to follow her back to the department store! She checked their bags and found nothing stolen. They were then 'let go'.
"you don't feel sad for something you don't have, but you would feel sad for something you don't have while others do" ---literal translation of a famous chinese proverb.
Worst part is the job applications. Some companies look at South Asian names and think that they would not fit well in their company. But the funny part is a name is a name and some of us were born in Canada or lived in Canada since we were kids.
I really hate it when people that dont experience being discriminated say "i never discriminate anyone nor do i saw people do it to others so there's no discrimination in xxx" that's like saying "all the discriminations that you experienced arent real because i never did it nor did i see other people do it" it's ridiculous!
I used to be a Best Buy Loss Prevention and then moved to the Corporate headquarters here in the US (Richfield, MN) and that is exactly what they teach you. If we suspect anyone who may be stealing, every employee has an ear peace so the managers and LP will ping you and tell you if you see that person, go up to them and ask if you can help them. "Make them feel uncomfortable"
They train you in retail to ask if someone needs help as a way to discourage shoplifting and signal that you're aware of them without overtly saying so. So if you're constantly being offered help, it's because they think you're a risk.
@@Woodman-Spare-that-tree whenever I go to the store at night I'm afraid if I have the same route as a female they'll think I'm trying to kidnap them. I've had this happen before

Love watching you guys! I live in Maryland USA and as a young Latina woman I have been followed in stores. I’m light skin, dark brown hair and I hate to feel like I’m doing something wrong. I hope this world is a little better when my daughter is older.
Or not suspect, just want to harass. As soon as I walk in some stores I'm asked can I help you...like, there are hundreds of things to choose from, can I just take my time and look? And then just blatantly followed. I don't shop in those stores anymore.
Treat them like your personal shopper anytime this happens. Enthusiastically get them to go fetch you a whole load of (expensive) stuff you dither and dally over and then finally hand back with a smile, telling them it's a bit too cheap looking for your tastes, but thanks ever so much for all their help.
@@Rchelle_YAHsdaughter Yes those people like to harrass people, they are so evil, you should talk with their managers so they fired them. Everybody deserves respect.
I appreciate this story. In the U.S. this crap happens almost EVERYWHERE! I can't shop while black in certain areas, even though I am well dressed and professional in deportment. I can't imagine how bad it is for those who don't work in Corporate America (which accounts in part for my public presentation). I am female, so "driving while black" happens to ladies too. When I first moved to a mainly white area of Clarksville, TN 4-1/2 years ago driving a brand new car, I was pulled over pretty consistently for about a year until they finally realized that I'm a law abiding citizen and there's nothing to be found here. Once an officer followed me for 5 miles and finally pulled me over and said it was because "YOU WERE FLUFFING YOUR HAIR and I am concerned about you being a danger on the road". Was there a violation while I fluffed my curls? Of course not. No speeding, no swerving, appropriate stop and turn signal use...and nothing wrong with the lights on my car. So why exactly was I being pulled over, except he was hoping I lacked license, insurance or maybe he could 'see' something in the car that would give him reason to search. It's not everyone...for I have some fabulous non-melanin friends and have met some really nice policemen. But when we face it, outright or subtly, it is hurtful and sometimes frightening. I can't imagine what the Muslim's have gone through...this was surprising and terrible.
There was a guy in Toronto who sued the police for this same problem. He was a TV personality, drove a BMW and was pulled over at least twice per month. He won the case because he documented everything.
Next time, Sue every cop who pulls you over. Make sure you turn on your camera. Then, you don't need to work for the rest of your life. Get free money.
6:45 Someone in Rexxal asked me to open my backpack and I happily opened because I didn't shoplift anything. I'm a Dark Asian. Her actions send out strange signals, a simple request to open a backpack and she would just resist until what? She gets arrested and escalated? People are too much of snowflakes. seriously!
Have you taken the test? I only ask because the video only showed 1 question, so it's impossible to judge their wording. I assumed that the test includes a bunch of questions with slightly different wording in order to test things. Stuff like the included one alongside "If black people tried much harder than whites, they could attain the same level of wealth as whites", "If black people tried the same as whites, they could attain the same level of wealth", etc. It's the collecting of tests being answered by the same person that would mean something, any individual one is nearly meaningless.
They are pretty understandable if you understand systemic issues. If you don't, then that's how the test gets you, because that's how implicit bias will reveal itself. The picture test is also pretty good and very well balanced with plenty of research on why it works.
Absolutely agreed - A poor excuse of rental manager, honestly - the lack of customer care, a simple greeting, potentially missing out on a long term rental; client is beyond a joke. She obviously received her Real Estate certificate from a cereal box. Skills attained - laziness, unprofessional, customer service work ethic - pathetic
15:19 Once you go black, you never go back 😉 36:50 “Go oooutt” Now you know commentator is Canadian. You know you are still in mess when you have to conduct Blind Auditions, Interviews, Assessments.
It is sad to see the results of this test however I believe that discrimination runs much deeper than just colour of skin and or ethnic origin. I would love to see a similar test done that shows how disabled persons get treated not just by the general public but also how they get treated by those of authority such as police forces.
21:30 ... if this happened to me. I would have so fun with this. I would have the person who was following me getting something on the top shelf or in the back. Ask dumb and ridiculous questions.. put things in my cart and act like I changed my mind on them and put it some where else in front of them.etc .. hey if they want to follow you.. why not put them to work lol
That's what I do haha. I had four different employees follow me throughout Fred Meyer the other day, maybe because I have kids? It was so annoying and obvious I started just taking a REALLY long time looking at labels.
27:51 but he seems so aggressive about his donation going in there lol. And hope and what he says just makes me feel like he wanted to help but not give it to her. I how I'm wrong but there was some negative feelings giving that change up.
It's funny cause it's true lol! No seriously I am being truthful and no one is saying it's everyone of you but they exist cause a large part of that particular race the stereotype is absolutely true for. That goes for white people, black people, brown people.
@@OleHolm-sq7yj Ole Holm sorry to disappoint. Trump has nothing to do with it. It's all fact based and easily provable. When the numbers support a thesis. e. g. . crime, a new stereotype is born. Show me any stereotype and I can explain to you why it exists. It doesn't make a stereotype a good thing, nor is it FAIR. Racism is something completely different and often confused with a stereotype.
As a white person I feel the same. When I go shopping I dont wanna talk to anyone. I'm trying to get in and get out😂 truth be told I'd rather deal with a store employee assuming I'm doing something wrong even tho I'm not guilty verses the crackhead outside sneaking up behind me. Btw... if a black employee said "can I help you" would you feel the same.. if not. You focus on color
@@thatdude87 no not really because black people generally share the same experiences as the black dude in the video. It doesn't mean that I couldn't come across ppl my skin color who makes me feel like I must've stolen something, but it has never happened to me. In addition it is also comforting because usually the way you're approached is usually more subtle and less hostile. But again it is not like all non black retail workers come off to see us as suspicious but we can definitely tell the huge difference that's just my experience
4:25 These racists EXPOSURE videos are fine and dandy, but what about when ethnicity DOESN'T factor in? What if the person is picking-up on your negative energy? What if you're acting so nervous, it's making them uncomfortable, so they rush you out? Humans communicate with each other, many times, through unspoken words. Let's study the SPIRITUAL REALM of this "discrimination".
I get the whole 'go back to Mexico' line...thing is I've never been there and don't have roots there either lol. And funny thing is those who send us 'back where we came from' are first or second (at most) generation Americans. Soooo, their own parents/grandparents did come from 'somewhere' else. I, personally am a third-generation American-born citizen. Ooooh, the irony!
I haven't had the "go back" part said to me, more along the lines of people assuming I am from somewhere else. I'm not, but chocolate brown skin isn't 'Canadian" to some Canadians. BUT, if I tell an immigrant that I was born here, they acknowledge that I am Canadian and also that I am "lucky." I find that very interesting.
The real owners of this Country called Canada belongs to the Indigenous aboriginals. Not Chinese, not Indians, not East Europeans, nor West Europeans, not Jamaicans, truth is that everyone is an Immigrant that’s if you are not Natives aboriginal.
Being Asian I learned to accept that this is the way it is, this is the way we are created. I used to feel bad about this but my heart is tired and now numb.
Yeah when This happens to me I just go on some long nerdy rant on how i'm trying to find the limited edition Lord of the Rings dvd that the bestbuy website says is on sale.
See racism just doesn't happen in America, it happens in Canada as well! It's actually worldwide! It just a sad and unfortunate thing that only happens to us people of color.
White superiority is needed with out it all non whites would still be dragging their knuckles and have a bone through their nose, what have any class of non whites done to propel the human race forward in the last 1000 yrs
I’m skeptical on the Best Buy one. To be honest I think they’re required to be that damn annoying just like frys electronics trying to make a sale or car salesman watching people drive in
I used to work less prevention at best buy. We were trained to make contact with as many people as quite k as possible, especially if no one was helping them. So I'm a little hesitant about that
I used to work at a Best Buy part time and we were told if one of our coworkers already asked a customer if they needed something then to not to make contact with them unless they come to us and ask for help. Guaranteed that we had those ear pieces to talk to each other with and let each other know if we already talked to someone. And as far as I can tell it doesn’t look like they have those. But it also doesn’t look like the store is busy so the worker could have told the other workers they already asked that customer and he didn’t need anything. But than again every Best Buy is different.
I dont know why but cbc has made a big deal. While i am at work, sometimes we as sales associates dont get to have good communication with each other so every associate go and ask the customer who has already been helped whereas sometimes we be like oh you know that customer. I have helped him. So now no one should go and help em
I had a guy at best buy walk around and talk to me for a good 25min one time. I don't know if it was b/c that's what they are suppose to do or if they thought I was going to steal something. I never know if it's b/c of the way I dress or my piercings or if they actually want to help. I know if I'm being followed in a store it's prob b/c of my appearance, I can't imagine how awful it would feel to be followed just b/c of the color of my skin.
@@jok3r117 they were comparing how many times he was approached as opposed to the Scottish Canadian guy and noticed a difference. Plus they asked the Afro-Canadian guy if he wanted help then hung out around him "fixing" displays
I have been followed in target for looking like people of walmart. As a mom of two I rarely look fabulous. Typically I look pretty homeless without hair and makeup. When I was followed it made me feel so shameful when I was doing NOTHING wrong. I ended up leaving with nothing and I haven't been back since. Now I am imagining this happening everywhere. I am so sorry for the world we live in. Especially for people of color.
@ lol thanks...I NEVER thought of that...... No, but seriously I love looking my best. But with two little ones that come first I put myself on the back burner for a while.
Just like the police, those store workers spent so much time focused on who they think will steal, they miss the people actually stealing. They focus on a certain group, therefore they have more opportunity of finding criminal activity within that group. Then later use that same data to defend why they focus their attention on that one group.
Same with Walmart here in Calgary. Employees are highly suspected, especially those who work overnight, meanwhile big item electronics are stolen under their noses, even passing thru the backdoor in the receiving area. Mind you the manager is also an immigrant.
Onward retail I've seen people come in separately that are working together one little group will cause a distraction ask a bunch of questions while another person stuff and shut down their pants so you have enough people there working you can watch all of them but we usually focused on the person that came in behind them and acted like he wasn't with them because the minute they started Jabberwocky and all the questions we knew who the criminals were
I see a racial profiling even on this CBC video investigating racial discrimination: barely no asian people appeared to be involved in the questioning, testing, interviewing etc. Why?
When I lived home in the 80's and early 90's I was a teenager. Even then I noticed that the black hair care products were behind the counter but the hair care products for white people were in the isles. Even 2 years ago here, in Columbus, I was shopping with a friend. In my Lane was a white lady, my friend who was white, then me. We all used a card and the sign stated an ID was needed to use a card. No one was asked until it was my turn. When she asked. I showed it, then waited till the line was gone. Then I went to the counter and questioned her. She hummed and stumbled over her words. In the end her bigotry and profiling seemed subconscience. That was even worse.
The people who own the store probably know a little better than you do which items get stolen most often. And if you owned the store, you would do the EXACT same thing.
What's the full story here? Youre followed for no reason but you still go back there? Dont shop there, if you're doing nothing wrong, you dont deserve that. Easy solution. Going back there supports what they're doing.
I worked at a grocery store. Lost count of how many times I had customers 'warn' me about 'suspicious' customers that were almost always young native men. It's ridiculous.
I got followed a couple of times but I always thought they genuinely meant to help me. I even thanked them with a big smile on my face. Wow, I never thought they had different attention. 😭
@CanadianLoki76 ... I agree. And the more stressed someone is (financially, emotionally, etc), then these people are even *more* likely to not reach out to those who appear like they belong to the 'other' group.
A white or Latino going into a black community is going to be hassled/threatened/beaten. A white or black going into a Latino community? Hassled/threatened/beaten. A Latino/first Nations or black in a white community? Some following & questioning and less favorable deals. This channel is anti white and so are you. Cut whites out of your racism gotcha tactics.
I was always taught to treat everyone with respect, and then act accordingly, based on how they treat you. I don't get what's so hard about that, for people.
Imagine the potential to society if everyone was allowed to achieve their potential and not stopped by racism and discrimination. It would enrich the lives of all of us and make the world a better place.
NObody is held back my discrimination..blacks have the same rights and whites in America and Canada. Name one right that blacks don't have that whites do.

@@jackiebiskan4748 that's not a fact. I've been in a store for 5 minutes and got followed immediately. I've had a a cart full of items and still got followed around.

@Nimfa McDonald lol I’ve been questioned so many times cause of me muttering under my breath when I’m near computer parts or when I’m in any store cause it mentally helps me picture everything and if it would work that and I always look like I’m tired so it’s meh
They have done that to me they literally asked me 4 times as soon as I walked in on my way to get a webcam that I already new were it was.Then when I get there the 5th person asked me if I needed help I said yes because I saw they were out of what I wanted then he looked at me like he didn't think I would actually need help. It's like so obvious I can't shop while brown. I don't go to best buy anymore because of the way people act. Sad but just because people steal doesn't mean you can treat people like that.
It’s amazing how so many people in this comment section can’t seem to understand this!! Just because you don’t see or deal with discrimination or racism doesn’t mean it’s not out here & happening every single day!!
I don’t understand how people watch this and still deny discrimination or make excuses. Oh it’s because he was dressed this way or oh he was acting suspicious. NOOOOOOO. Just admit it.
Racism and prejudice is everywhere! Some places are just more in your face about it. It also depends on the situation and how ballsy the perpetrator wants to be that’s all.
Donald Miller Well, yeah it’s because it’s a survival mechanism built into the DNA of the majority of organisms including humans. The difference is we are intelligent enough to control our biases, whereas animals cannot. You have to train your mind to look beyond race, it takes a lot work, but we do it.
There's a form of discrimination that's rarely talked about but is certainly there - how physically attractive someone is. One of the problems with this, of course, is it's subjective but there are certainly some generalities like being considered pretty or handsome versus mediocre or unattractive. There's also body composition - slender vs not. How do these things have an effect on getting hired or finding an apartment. It may not be as significant but would it also affect shopping in how a person is treated, even if they aren't being closely monitored for theft. Then there's age-ism.
If the store staff are following you, then you should turn around and follow them back. I bet that will make them feel awkward.
I tried that but she called security on me.
I do all the time 😂
I've literally had a bath and body works employee hand me a blue hand basket immediately entering the store (looking back its probably easier to look for me in the store) and then follow me around basically being my personal shopper which was kinda weird and obvious and once she saw I had on body glitter she was inclined to show me body glitters. I'm like I already have that product so I'm fine. She got the hint but u know that feeling when someone's looking at u..I would immediately make eye contact with multiple employees staring at me and they would damn near break their neck turning away. After about 10 mins of this I fr left the basket where I stood and watched as most of the employees watched me leave. My white husband was there and noticed everything as well. I literally had $400 cash on me and had just left sephora after spending an additional $200 there (I never carry cash but just had to mention that as I could've bought whatever I wanted) . They say hindsight is 20/20 and I definitely felt the discrimination
CoCoBunny420 disgusting. Meanwhile Becky Sarah and Rachel walking out with candles and body wash unpaid for. 😂

I've been followed in grocery stores by "undercover" security. Once they even stopped me as I was walking out with my groceries to go over the receipt to check EVERY SINGLE ITEM. It was ALL paid for. And asked me to empty out the food from all the bags onto the sidewalk right outside the doors. Instead of bringing me into a private room they publicly humiliated me!! And people where staring as they would walk in and out. They did this because they saw me with my hand inside my pocket which a lot of people do in lines, like to grab your wallet etc. I think they did it because I am poor and paid with FS. If your white and your socioeconomic status is on the poverty side people treat you equally as bad as they would with all the other minorities! People also will yell at you if your on any public assistance. As if you don't deserve it. When in reality they have no clue about anything in your life and you could be disabled even if it's not visible. You could have a mental disability and are being harassed by a complete stranger. People suck.
did you sue them you have to sue them
Complain to the manager, document it and complain to headquarters, and shop elsewhere. However if you live in an area where there is a lot of poverty, the store may feel they need to do this to reduce loss, to stay in business. Stores with acceptably low loss prefer not to aggravate customers.
Essentially you are suffering this because of other people shoplifting. What is a store to do? Innocent until proven guilty is one option, but apparently they feel that isn't working out well. It might also be that you look suspicious, if you tend to have anxiety or paranoia that will cause body language typical of a novice shoplifter.

18:37: “Sometimes you just have to tolerate that behaviour a little bit.”
But 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.
most people will speak up only if it affects them negatively. WHen i was working in China last year I saw a Chinese Police officer who was in the process of dealing with the African man simply get up as if the man did not exist and ask me what I needed and she handed me my passport. I didnt say anything because I always enjoy it when i get special treatment and I know about my white privilege and will use it to my advantage.
@Daddy Dollaz if a person of another race was getting special treatment over another do you think they would actually try to even the playing field? I highly doubt any person who has power in society is going to do things to diminish that power unless something forces them to.
I hate to say it almost comes off like slavery times: you stand up for another race, that makes you a "n***** lover". It's viewed as fighting someone else's battle. I'm not saying this is right AT ALL. I'm saying it starts a problem of confronting people that don't see an issue, which can put the average "white guy" in a bad light. Then freedom of speech comes in, who was here first, who has a right to be here, etc. Standing up for injustice sounds easy...a lot of people can't handle confrontation and take the path of minding their business. Get involved? Something could go wrong and "I don't want to be associated with that...but I think what they're doing is wrong."...it's so common until it's about a handicap, mental disease, or someone just having a bad attitude. We truly pick our battles and some of us are brave enough to bring it to their attention. "Sometimes you have to tolerate it" refers to other white people's views in this instance. But it's how it was said. If a person of color was told to "just tolerate it" from a white person, it's seen as racism. If a person of color says this to another person of color, they've been down the road before and "it's not worth it" to confront them. Inflection and race put together...matter so much here in America. This is news to me about Canada, but I can't say I'm surprised. 😥
@@bosslady1973 personally i think discrimination is bad for many reasons. Refusing to hire someone because they are of a certain race can hurt a business due to potential boycotts from that community not to mention possible loss of revenue due to that person's potential skills.

If i only want to rent properties I own to Arabs, Turks, or Iranians than I should be able to do so.

But nowadays, the terminology for "native" or first nations, really isn't the evolution of people, since we all came from a common ancestor, but one of the earliest people to have settled on this continent on this drifting rock in space..
Not surprising how you reacted though..
Especially from someone who is, as you would say, a "limp dicked" supercilious cur..
Esau at the end of the day , white black , natives or whom ever. No one and I mean no one is BETTER than the next person . Got it! Doesn’t matter who conquered who over a piece of land . ‘Natives should be thankful’ ?? Who died and left white people God that other people should be thankful because of them ? People like you like to use your ‘boldness’ or disguised honesty to spread hate. And who cares if you dislike something or someone.... you and about billions of other people think this , no biggie and certainly no one is losing sleep over it . You have a fabulous day Esau 😉
Lol if they weren't on there strung up asses living on the streets shooting up heroin and collecting their welfare checks
Natives are ALTAIC people. The ones in Canadian are middle eastern Muslim Turkic people. DNA haplogroups eastern and western Altaic region. You’ve all been deceived. The elect in Canada have all been deceived.
Who to blame? Our back home corrupt countries, our governments failed to manage a country with a rich resources .
Why always we have to blame others . Every native are scared of immigrants newcomers because they are going to take their jobs , take advantages of their social welfare system ( tax payers money 💰) and more seriously their identity and values that their ancestors fought hard for them so their kids will have a better life will be challenged. Put yourself in their shoes you will react with same reactions. I’m a traveler I know how bad racism in those 3rd world countries witch my country one of em. Just trying to see things right . We need to start appreciate and be thankful to North America or Europe that accepted us to come and live among them, we got jobs food home education....I can’t ask for more .
If an American ask you where are you from then you replied : im from Ohio for example, then ask you again: ok no I mean where you are from ? ( want to know your background) Then you got offended while your face look Asians or latinos or East Asian....then believe me you got issues you need to deal with right away.
My American girl friend when we first meet, She told with a pride : I’m an 3rd generations American but I’m Hungarian and Polish descent . She said with pride.
Man this the right answer
If you feel ashamed of your Chinese ancestors or Koreans or India 🇮🇳 or African ancestors ....so in this case you need to see a specialist.
It’s good sometimes to take time and look ourselves in the mirror.
Skin Colours and our differences are the most charming our plant .

He was treated equal so they did not include the footage as it did not fit the narrative that is being pushed. Selective editing can make almost anyone think anything. Imagine if major news networks did stories like these but instead found a happy twist and reported the truth, as is? Why I dunno, people might start learning how to unite on common interests and go from there instead of the other way around, ya think?
Intelligent men with devious minds have formed goups of people that run the entire world right now. They have built an entire world founded on lie aftter lie, after lie. They want us to fight each other (world-wide) so they have the perfect reason to enact Martial Law and appoint a world leader to run a one world government. Control is the name of the game.
But hey, who wants to get into all of that complicated (but provable) stuff. It's easier to point the finger at the struggling middle/lower class guy down the street as the "real" problem in society. I long for peace in this realm we all were born into and it cannot come quick enough.

Racism
Why do I feel the need to record everything now.,. that's so depressing
My name is a French name but I am Haitian 🇭🇹. I remove my last name of my resume and kept my 1st name and middle name I did get more responses. Than when spoken to on the phone they assume White. The fun part when I get to the interview I'm giving a look like am I lost, like I didn't belong there. When asked " How can we help you"? I state my name I'm here for an interview their face expression change more towards a negative from there I knew I wasn't going to get the job; of course I'm told to have a seat while I'm 15 minutes early for my interview that was for 10 am but I wasn't called in for my interview not till about 45 minutes later no apologies of why late it's fine but I already knew the outcome.
I'm guessing they wanted to test my patience well I sat patiently the crazy thing it's like I was a strange thing; people came out from different doors it's like they came to look at me but indirectly. I was dressed for the interview navy blue suit, heels 3", hair in pony tail, casual powdered face barely noticed the powder on my skin, sat up straight, I had driven 45 minutes for this interview. I Entertained the interviewer knowing what the outcome; than I was asked two questions that should never been asked at an interview. I chuckled and laughed in the inside guess what the ending was. "Don't call us we'll call you we have many applicants to interview thank you for coming" not a single apology for interviewing me 45 minutes later and NOT one approach we'll be with you shortly.
Today I work in guest services at a Hotel whom isn't to different from the interviewer and the guest often think I'm white until I have to see them in person. When I appear they said to me I'm waiting for .... I greet them but when I say I am ..... their face expression changes. In this huge Hotel chain I've also dealt with discrimination from managements as well. #sadtosay
I've dealt with worst where my life was almost taken if I would have sneezed that would have been the end of me. I was told I fit a description while wearing a suit broad day light coming from work as a bank teller at the time the only description was being Black. I'll say this it hurts to the core, some what traumatize by theses experiences that have not been good.
Therefore; watching this segment was very emotional for me thank you for sharing; people truly need to see this often. Have a great weekend everyone and love one another.
Mademoiselle Jolie I am Haitian
As black man i no what you going through

I had the same thing happen to me, except it was 1 hour. Then, interviewer was sick. I felt bad but she sneezed all over my resume, all over her hands. She could've rescheduled, but no. Then the next day I got another job right away from a white business, and I got all of my co-workers sick! Never forgot that. Never will. Ew. People act digusting honestly. It's disgraceful and I will never understand the pride in that.
Unlike Americans, Canadians don't want to acknowledge that racism exists in Canada. Just Look at the comments, many deny racism or think that this program is garbage. This is sick.

Very sad to be accused when you've done nothing. Two of my daughters were accused in a department store years ago. After my husband wrote a letter to the manager they sent a check to one of my daughters for $400.00. The security cop followed them thru the mall into another store then asked them both to follow her back to the department store! She checked their bags and found nothing stolen. They were then 'let go'.
It pays to speak up but do it strategically.

Worst part is the job applications. Some companies look at South Asian names and think that they would not fit well in their company. But the funny part is a name is a name and some of us were born in Canada or lived in Canada since we were kids.
I really hate it when people that dont experience being discriminated say "i never discriminate anyone nor do i saw people do it to others so there's no discrimination in xxx" that's like saying "all the discriminations that you experienced arent real because i never did it nor did i see other people do it" it's ridiculous!

I used to be a Best Buy Loss Prevention and then moved to the Corporate headquarters here in the US (Richfield, MN) and that is exactly what they teach you. If we suspect anyone who may be stealing, every employee has an ear peace so the managers and LP will ping you and tell you if you see that person, go up to them and ask if you can help them. "Make them feel uncomfortable"
31:15 best moment....it feels good when people stand up for total strangers.... Love you guys Stay blessed.... Ameen
They train you in retail to ask if someone needs help as a way to discourage shoplifting and signal that you're aware of them without overtly saying so. So if you're constantly being offered help, it's because they think you're a risk.

"can i help you with anything" are policy words your taught when you suspect a shopper is stealing.
Or not suspect, just want to harass. As soon as I walk in some stores I'm asked can I help you...like, there are hundreds of things to choose from, can I just take my time and look? And then just blatantly followed. I don't shop in those stores anymore.
"Sure. You can carry my stuff while I look around the store. "
Treat them like your personal shopper anytime this happens. Enthusiastically get them to go fetch you a whole load of (expensive) stuff you dither and dally over and then finally hand back with a smile, telling them it's a bit too cheap looking for your tastes, but thanks ever so much for all their help.

Yes those people like to harrass people, they are so evil, you should talk with their managers so they fired them. Everybody deserves respect.
I appreciate this story. In the U.S. this crap happens almost EVERYWHERE! I can't shop while black in certain areas, even though I am well dressed and professional in deportment. I can't imagine how bad it is for those who don't work in Corporate America (which accounts in part for my public presentation). I am female, so "driving while black" happens to ladies too. When I first moved to a mainly white area of Clarksville, TN 4-1/2 years ago driving a brand new car, I was pulled over pretty consistently for about a year until they finally realized that I'm a law abiding citizen and there's nothing to be found here. Once an officer followed me for 5 miles and finally pulled me over and said it was because "YOU WERE FLUFFING YOUR HAIR and I am concerned about you being a danger on the road". Was there a violation while I fluffed my curls? Of course not. No speeding, no swerving, appropriate stop and turn signal use...and nothing wrong with the lights on my car. So why exactly was I being pulled over, except he was hoping I lacked license, insurance or maybe he could 'see' something in the car that would give him reason to search. It's not everyone...for I have some fabulous non-melanin friends and have met some really nice policemen. But when we face it, outright or subtly, it is hurtful and sometimes frightening. I can't imagine what the Muslim's have gone through...this was surprising and terrible.
You got stopped because you were fluffing your hair? Really?
There was a guy in Toronto who sued the police for this same problem. He was a TV personality, drove a BMW and was pulled over at least twice per month. He won the case because he documented everything.
Next time, Sue every cop who pulls you over. Make sure you turn on your camera. Then, you don't need to work for the rest of your life. Get free money.

Her actions send out strange signals, a simple request to open a backpack and she would just resist until what? She gets arrested and escalated? People are too much of snowflakes. seriously!
The questions on the racial test are biased, and worded badly.
Have you taken the test? I only ask because the video only showed 1 question, so it's impossible to judge their wording. I assumed that the test includes a bunch of questions with slightly different wording in order to test things. Stuff like the included one alongside "If black people tried much harder than whites, they could attain the same level of wealth as whites", "If black people tried the same as whites, they could attain the same level of wealth", etc. It's the collecting of tests being answered by the same person that would mean something, any individual one is nearly meaningless.
Exactly
lol sure jan.
They are pretty understandable if you understand systemic issues. If you don't, then that's how the test gets you, because that's how implicit bias will reveal itself. The picture test is also pretty good and very well balanced with plenty of research on why it works.

I haven't had the "go back" part said to me, more along the lines of people assuming I am from somewhere else. I'm not, but chocolate brown skin isn't 'Canadian" to some Canadians. BUT, if I tell an immigrant that I was born here, they acknowledge that I am Canadian and also that I am "lucky." I find that very interesting.

I had that happen to me once.
I’m skeptical on the Best Buy one. To be honest I think they’re required to be that damn annoying just like frys electronics trying to make a sale or car salesman watching people drive in
I used to work less prevention at best buy. We were trained to make contact with as many people as quite k as possible, especially if no one was helping them. So I'm a little hesitant about that
I used to work at a Best Buy part time and we were told if one of our coworkers already asked a customer if they needed something then to not to make contact with them unless they come to us and ask for help. Guaranteed that we had those ear pieces to talk to each other with and let each other know if we already talked to someone. And as far as I can tell it doesn’t look like they have those. But it also doesn’t look like the store is busy so the worker could have told the other workers they already asked that customer and he didn’t need anything. But than again every Best Buy is different.
I dont know why but cbc has made a big deal. While i am at work, sometimes we as sales associates dont get to have good communication with each other so every associate go and ask the customer who has already been helped whereas sometimes we be like oh you know that customer. I have helped him. So now no one should go and help em
I had a guy at best buy walk around and talk to me for a good 25min one time. I don't know if it was b/c that's what they are suppose to do or if they thought I was going to steal something. I never know if it's b/c of the way I dress or my piercings or if they actually want to help.
I know if I'm being followed in a store it's prob b/c of my appearance, I can't imagine how awful it would feel to be followed just b/c of the color of my skin.

Imagine how it would be if you got followed even when you didn't look homeless.
Just like the police, those store workers spent so much time focused on who they think will steal, they miss the people actually stealing. They focus on a certain group, therefore they have more opportunity of finding criminal activity within that group. Then later use that same data to defend why they focus their attention on that one group.
exactly, managers are the worst of the lot, excellent point. Almost like they are using drummed wayyyy-cismms to deter us away from this truth
Same with Walmart here in Calgary. Employees are highly suspected, especially those who work overnight, meanwhile big item electronics are stolen under their noses, even passing thru the backdoor in the receiving area. Mind you the manager is also an immigrant.
It's actually a technique used by professional shoplifters
Onward retail I've seen people come in separately that are working together one little group will cause a distraction ask a bunch of questions while another person stuff and shut down their pants so you have enough people there working you can watch all of them but we usually focused on the person that came in behind them and acted like he wasn't with them because the minute they started Jabberwocky and all the questions we knew who the criminals were
Depends on where you live
I see a racial profiling even on this CBC video investigating racial discrimination: barely no asian people appeared to be involved in the questioning, testing, interviewing etc. Why?
When someone keeps asking you, if you need help, they are making sure your not stealing.
While they make sure the ones they aren't watching are stealing.
That happens to me and I definitely dont steal.

No one was asked until it was my turn. When she asked. I showed it, then waited till the line was gone. Then I went to the counter and questioned her. She hummed and stumbled over her words. In the end her bigotry and profiling seemed subconscience. That was even worse.

Nancy Wharton yes they’re always following me and my mom 🙄🙄 thinking we’re about to “steal” 😂😂
You made me laugh on the commentary I needed that agreed smh as I laugh
I am laughing so hard happy Valentine's day
What's the full story here? Youre followed for no reason but you still go back there? Dont shop there, if you're doing nothing wrong, you dont deserve that. Easy solution. Going back there supports what they're doing.
WOW! the world nowadays...
21:26 They probably think the store is being cased, lol. Cosmetics and baby food (moreso the formula than the veggie jars) are high theft items.
Canadians: America needs to get it together 💁🏻♀️
Canadians:
@Jack Percy So much worse to the point where it's the most popular country for Canadians to work and migrate to :)
@@Blaze6432 imagine paying for a doctor's visit :)
I worked at a grocery store. Lost count of how many times I had customers 'warn' me about 'suspicious' customers that were almost always young native men. It's ridiculous.
Yes sad and in their OWN nation
@Saul Murray go back to europe murray. thats where the thieves were born.
@@PikaPluff you mean Africa?😂
@Saul Murray why do you believe this?
@Saul Murray according to?
I just realized Canadians don't actually say "aboot". They say *aBOAT.
Yes , me too , the way they say “about “ is very distinctive , and they tend to say “ about “ quite a lot .
this joke is getting old. Canadians do not say it like that.. lol
Never said that ever in my life or heard anyone say that in a conversation, bet u haven't either. Aboot
@@lightupdarkness Does the word "about" rhyme with out or oat?
@@tyler6971 wtf ya getting old for sure to many people have seen south park seriously people
I got followed a couple of times but I always thought they genuinely meant to help me. I even thanked them with a big smile on my face. Wow, I never thought they had different attention. 😭
Maybe your kindness to them will help them feel the shame they should feel
@@TheBiggestMoronYouKnow U have a pure heart, but this is a cruel world.
what if they did want to help you
@@TheBiggestMoronYouKnow Thanks, I hope so 😊.
@@jackiebiskan4748 since I can't tell who is genuine and who has different intentions, I still smile and Thank them. 😊
We all going to leave this earth one day I don’t know why we don’t get along.
@CanadianLoki76 ... I agree. And the more stressed someone is (financially, emotionally, etc), then these people are even *more* likely to not reach out to those who appear like they belong to the 'other' group.
One race, the human race
We get along, but you don't see it.
Thats why The World is Going so Crazy Right Now. They think its the End
Hopefully one day all people will be the same mutt race.
If i observe someone watching me. I say since your watching me why don't you come and help me shop?
shoplift?
I'll use that one next time...
What happened to going back to let them know that they were being tested and got caught.Because it's not a secret racism exist.
A white or Latino going into a black community is going to be hassled/threatened/beaten.
A white or black going into a Latino community? Hassled/threatened/beaten.
A Latino/first Nations or black in a white community? Some following & questioning and less favorable deals.
This channel is anti white and so are you.
Cut whites out of your racism gotcha tactics.
@@bdmenne YES you hit the nail on the head!!
I was always taught to treat everyone with respect, and then act accordingly, based on how they treat you. I don't get what's so hard about that, for people.
Imagine the potential to society if everyone was allowed to achieve their potential and not stopped by racism and discrimination. It would enrich the lives of all of us and make the world a better place.
NObody is held back my discrimination..blacks have the same rights and whites in America and Canada. Name one right that blacks don't have that whites do.
noRebrand
On paper but not in reality. It's like when Indians say they don't have caste. On paper that's true. But it's still unofficially in place.
jxsilicon9 So what are blacks disadvantaged in then? They have the same rights. We are equal..
noRebrand No one is equal in this world and there's plenty of evidence in that in many countries.
noRebrand I guess it's safe to assume you have never seen the black vs white resume experiment. You should look it up.
I get pissed when i see someone staring at me in the corner of my eye
How do you know they're looking at the corner of your eye? ;-)
That's on you then. People can look all they want.
I am curious. Why no footage of Mark attempting to rent an apartment in Toronto?
First Last I was thinking the same thing
They told you. Black and people of color were discriminated against.
@@Monk-Amani. Monk, you are one of the believers because "they" told you so. I am a skeptic and a believer in statistics. The producers missed a visual statistical moment.
Hmmm, I have been thinking about that conundrum. Perhaps Mark had no problems trying to rent an apartment.
A statistical anomaly that belied the producers premise of "Prevalent minority discrimination"
because they likely gave him the same treatment and it doesn't fit the narrative. If it did they'd have shown it.
I'm not from Canada, but they just throwing these words out there on tv or is this only on the internet?
I get followed in stores but honestly it does make you feel some type of way because nobody else is getting followed it's just sad
I get followed
then i stopped being in the store for over 20min without getting thing and they just stop fill a cart with stuff and no you will get in your way its a facted
@@jackiebiskan4748 that's not a fact. I've been in a store for 5 minutes and got followed immediately. I've had a a cart full of items and still got followed around.
Best Buy always make me feel uncomfortable when they keep asking me if I need help. Like dang I haven’t been in the store 10minz
@@billboggs6641 not sure u know what ive gone through
@@billboggs6641 Alot of stores try and act like they are "Trying to help" but really they are making sure you don't steal. Once it happens once or twice you can tell.
I’ll be walking around muttering to myself and I’ll be watched and I’m like yo chill I talk to myself it helps me think
@Nimfa McDonald lol I’ve been questioned so many times cause of me muttering under my breath when I’m near computer parts or when I’m in any store cause it mentally helps me picture everything and if it would work that and I always look like I’m tired so it’s meh
They have done that to me they literally asked me 4 times as soon as I walked in on my way to get a webcam that I already new were it was.Then when I get there the 5th person asked me if I needed help I said yes because I saw they were out of what I wanted then he looked at me like he didn't think I would actually need help. It's like so obvious I can't shop while brown. I don't go to best buy anymore because of the way people act. Sad but just because people steal doesn't mean you can treat people like that.
I'm watching this from Mexico, and it's extremely cringy to realize that we have racism everywhere. It's disgusting and heartbreaking.
People tend to feel more comfortable around people that look like them. Birds of a feather flock together. Happens in nature too.
@penguins inadiorama exactly
I'm biracial and see it from both sides but also know first hand that racists are far and few between in Regina.
Yes it's everywhere
Hate against IJN Yamato is quite justified.
Short answer: Yes
Long answer: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssss
This is from the CBC so I question any thing that comes from them
It’s amazing how so many people in this comment section can’t seem to understand this!! Just because you don’t see or deal with discrimination or racism doesn’t mean it’s not out here & happening every single day!!
Yeah and just because people disagree with you doesn't mean they didn't experience discrimination or racism as you imply.
Yes, it happens and for good reason.
Just because someone screams racism doesn't make it automatically true.
ThaGreaT FranK. Same argument is used for UFOs.
I don’t understand how people watch this and still deny discrimination or make excuses. Oh it’s because he was dressed this way or oh he was acting suspicious. NOOOOOOO. Just admit it.
Racism and prejudice is everywhere! Some places are just more in your face about it. It also depends on the situation and how ballsy the perpetrator wants to be that’s all.
I also feel that racism and prejudice is everywhere, however, that is not the important issue. Why is there this racism and prejudice at all.
@Hans Lennros ,
It's because people are different !
Donald Miller Well, yeah it’s because it’s a survival mechanism built into the DNA of the majority of organisms including humans. The difference is we are intelligent enough to control our biases, whereas animals cannot. You have to train your mind to look beyond race, it takes a lot work, but we do it.
Wonder why?
@@vltruan also european colonialism
There's a form of discrimination that's rarely talked about but is certainly there - how physically attractive someone is. One of the problems with this, of course, is it's subjective but there are certainly some generalities like being considered pretty or handsome versus mediocre or unattractive. There's also body composition - slender vs not. How do these things have an effect on getting hired or finding an apartment. It may not be as significant but would it also affect shopping in how a person is treated, even if they aren't being closely monitored for theft.
Then there's age-ism.
