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.
🤣🤣🤣
I'll do that next time😂😂
@@millennial4840 Chile! I tell you, it'll have them damn near dying to get away from you.
That hurry up and buy line they use to stereotype asians in movies has happened to me before
@@dreoneful Hon, then oblige them and leave! If you're feeling extra spicy call ICE on the way out.
@@millennial4840 Me too
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 $200 there (I never carry cash but just had to mention that as I could've bought whatever I wanted) . They say hindsight is 20/20 and I definitely felt the discrimination
CoCoBunny420 disgusting. Meanwhile Becky Sarah and Rachel walking out with candles and body wash unpaid for. 😂
I play hide and seek with them...move position, let them follow me, then move again.
When they're watching certain people, the others are stealing.
Perhaps their staff
😂😂
Yess they do😁
Good for them
100 percent
If you ever do a test like this again, please include a person with a disability and how very few stores will hire them. Particularly people in wheelchairs. Face it... a Shopping Mall would be perfect for them as stores don't have steps to climb. But take the challenge.... Go to any Shopping Mall and see if you can find ONE Store that has HIRED a person in a wheelchair.
How is a person in a wheelchair going to stock shelves?
@@jeremygibbs7342 it does not need to be stocking shelves but other work can be done
I have a disabilities that makes it difficult to stand or be on my feet often and Im also hard of hearing and wear hearing aids. The only accommodations I need is the ability to sit and work and for people to be mindful when talking to me and sometimes speak up and repeat themselves. It's not that difficult you'd think but as soon as I explain my situation in an interview they always turn me down afterwards. My difficulties don't come close to others and it's really upsets me A) because I'm unemployed and B) realizing how much harder itd be to be hired if you have more debilitating disabilities than myself.
Thank you!
@@ihatemyjob9502 yeah
This is the subtle stuff that goes on, that when you tell them, people pretend not to understand.
People know this happens. Sometimes darkness feels more comfortable than light. You cannot hide in the light.
Well the dude said about 900$. He gave an estimate. He might have called someone or decided the price.
I'm white with blonde hair and blue eyes everybody treats me fair you're imagining things.
Look at crime statistics, it'll blow your mind who's doin all of it
Descendant Travels ignorant people usually are
I’m always scared when I walk out of a store without buying anything.
Agreed!!
I am black and I feel the same way.
Me too.😥
@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?
@Frank DeFalco Sorry, but I belong to the 1% so it would never happen. 😊
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!
stands up and points>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>PREEEEEACH THAT!!
liar
Blond Susie with British accent, probably on drugs or drunk. Lol, I know plenty of Susies.
so true ! it's ridiculous ! we'er very "backward" in our approach to crime in Canada! we like to blame the other guy, always !
it's worse when they send an ethnic to check up on another ethnic susprected of stealing!1
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.
Proud of her? Shes not your daughter so dont belittle her. You seem to have some superiority complex yourself saying something like that.
@@titotito3155 ???
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!

And this is EXACTLY why amazon is getting so much business. I would rather shop online than be harassed!
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.
I swear to god I was Gonna comment the same thing
Honestly, same! sick of being followed and harrassed
Best way to get harassed? Demand to be treated like a human being in a government office.
Don’t Americans (both USA and Canada) know that when they say: “go back to your country” does not make any sense?
Sam Barosz how does it not make sense?
@@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.
AkamirNN I see thanks ✌️
@@Ang.0910 You are very much welcome! : )

Excellent answer.
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

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!!
I'm native American and if you can't treat everyone equally, then you can leave my land ,you are trespassing anyway.

PERIODDT👏🏽
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.
Oh....
we know that. white folks don't though.
I would just ask them soooo many questions
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.
Another sad truth is, some stereotypes are still practically real in 21 century....
not just Canada, its everywhere !
@@yangi1101 of course you're right, I stand corrected.
Happens everywhere grocery store etc so glad we’re taking about this

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
americans and canadians are from europe plus many anothers also is some peoples have no idea about their history daam goofs
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.
Technically we all came from Mesopotamia. So we all need to go back to Iraq. Literally.
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.
@@willn8664, that's true, and ancient Mesopotamia is in Africa.
When they ask me if i need help, I look them dead in the eye and say "yes ma'am. Can you help me stuff all this into my purse?' They look mortified
LOL
Good way to get in trouble lmao
😂😂😂
Lol that’s exactly what I thought when I saw that.
@@dexeronstarsurge that is funny, but no you wouldnt get in trouble, I dont believe theres a law on saying or threatening to steal lol. So funnily enough, you could go into a store and be like " I THINK IM BOUT TO STEAL" and as long as u dont really, you be fine
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.
They broadcast his location on the intercom ... REALLY ? He's going south thru the shampoo ! 10-4
I had that happen to me once.
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.

Ralph McBride
Good explanation
I hear blacks saying that to other blacks often
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.
Short answer: Yes
Long answer: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssss
U feel offended???
No.. I feel jealous
That's an answer from the heart
It's so true though, that's exactly how I feel.
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
@roger james hunter in your dreams, yeah 😂
Deepu R Kurup You won’t change things feeling jealous, you need to feel anger!
Travel the world more so that you don't feel "jealous". There is nothing to feel jealous of.
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.
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
Wrong culture for America
mmm,it's not an american problem,this happen all over the world,is been like that and will be like that for ever!
I was honestly thinking of going with the hidden camera route to prove im not crazy about being followed .
My wife is Asian. When we go somewhere I can barely get anyone to speak to me. Everyone speaks to her. Is that sexism or racism?
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
Damn
It simple your skin
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.
They left the black guy out of most of the testing amazing
No they didn't they just didn't want to show the results probably be cause they thought it was too bad to show on tv

I was bullied back in high school by a group of white girls in Vancouver because I am non-white. They would harass me inside and outside of classroom in school. One time they poured shampoo on my hair when we were showering after a swimming lesson; another time they used a sharp-ended pencil poked me from behind because I "was walking too slow and blocking them from leaving the classroom; they stopped me while I was walking home from school and said they "don't like me", and numerous times "go back to where you came from"
... I eventually spoke to the principal about my experiences. He said he doesn't "want this on his school ground" and later had both of us gathered in his office and shake hands and promise "not to repeat any of the incidents on the school ground." Problem solved, according to him. After that, I had to deal with the subtle harassment in class: "don't talk to her or she will call the principal on you ..."
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.
Michael Z Crazy isn’t it!!
CBC is blatant propaganda. I used to listen to it every day but they only talk about the same 4 topics over and over

As black men we cannot go window shopping. You get followed ALL THE TIME.
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!

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.
POV in 2016: Wearing a face covering? You weirdo
POV in 2020: Wow your smart your wearing a mask!
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?
“Go back to where you came from!”
That’s what the natives would say 😏
@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 😉
@ryan norris Calm down you son of devil, help is on the way to put you in REHAB, no more privilege, don't forget that now is the time to chain you up and ship you to Great China to treat your COVID-19.
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.

My mom even got detained once because a white woman called the police saying she was kidnapping a white baby. They didnt even bother to ask if i knew her b4 they snatched me from her and called the police. THEY were the kidnappers- not my beautiful black mother! And you know what? They didnt even charge that woman for snatching me from my mama. They told her good job 😡😡

I get irate and yell at store security every time they gawk at me in the store. I won't tolerate being racially profiled.
I am First Nations, from Vancouver Canada. I get security on me, everywhere I go, usually always. It pisses me off. A couple times I spoke up. I'm far from a thief. I'm optimistic af, and honest.

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.

Well, I know it's a video from 6 years ago, but I have a question about the apartment rent. Were their credit score the same? Cuz the rental price may vary based on their credit score.
you don't know someone's credit score when they first walk in to enquire. It wasn't the white guys credit score the employee was shaking hands with.
Hey commenting about markets experience, I've asked black shoppers "is that everything?" And the customer became very angry. They treated me like I'm trying to insult or harass them, we are trained to upsell and accommodate so we are suppose to make communication with customers to possibly help them make choices, maybe I over correct and help them too much?
You should probably stop
@@mmsibi what do you want me to stop?
@@mmsibi ok I guess you have no idea what I should stop and you comment had no real value to it, thanks.
Perhaps you can ask if they found everything they needed today instead.
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.

Gotta say, I get looked at like I’m shoplifting sometimes, even though I come into stores with a very small 6 inch purse or with no handbag at all, a jacket instead of coat, I greet the staff, and I’m caucasian. I think being treated like I’m a shoplifter even though showing no signs of being one (no place to hide clothes or merch) comes down to the incompetence of the staff. The staff might even have special needs but they don’t look like it. That’s pretty common too. That happened to me a couple months ago when I was shopping at ulta.
Such an amazing documentary loved it
Dear any and all Racists people: please note that there is nothing special about you that makes you feel important than others. We all entered this world the same way and we will All leave the same way. I feel sad and sorry for you

When the black guy sat down and the rental manager says “talk to me” wth?!?!? You talk to me!!!! This just upset me lol
I peeped that too..like wait what?!
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
Imagine you have a store and last month you had 15 people with red shirts steeling from you.
Wouldnt you look closer if someone with a red shirt comes in?
If yous answer says No.
You lie or you are a fool...
13 people with grey shirts and 17 people with multicolored shirts also stole
I really love how they make these videos looks great, intriguing and interesting with informational things
You sound like you've only watched UA-cam your entire life. This is television (yes I'm aware we're physically watching it on UA-cam right now).
@@johnz6877 as a matter of fact I watched tv most of my childhood because when I was born there was no way an average family can get a subscription then as I hate the prices became a lot cheaper and after that, I stopped watching television altogether.
"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.
NO thats just to help you. Or to sell merchadise. OMG seriously?
@@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 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.
As a white woman? I am shocked. But now you have an understanding of what we colored people feel.

This makes me so mad 😡 it's not hard at all to treat all races the damn same this disgust me to my core!!!! I work at a very busy convenient store and I treat every human being the same
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"
Why didn't they add the black guy to the apt hunt
Right? I wonder why
email them and ask them
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.

Shopping protocol might be different where I'm from, can someone confirm? When they all walk into the store with the reusable bag, in Canada are they able to put the items they want into that bag as they shop and then take it to checkout or would putting something in that bag before checkout count as trying to steal?
My Parents are looking for an Apartment in Durham Region, Ontario and They have been turned down because they are seniors on numerous occassions.
I live the tired trope of "go back to where you came from"
If we extrapolated that then doesn't everyone have to go back to sub Sahara Africa?
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.
No, just to the country of people who are the descendants of the country’s founder

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.

@@elroyvieira5909 lmao
H D I’m not Arab 😂😂 good guess
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.
Is this test still around?
Lol all these employees asking to help, but when I'm looking for assistance I can't find a single employee😂😂horrible
wish I was at least privileged enough to get some damn service!

The people who put this together themselves don't live in black neighborhoods. They are complete hypocrites.
I was born and raised in Toronto to Hungarian immigrants, and my whole neighborhood was of mixed immigrants, so I grew up early making friends of different races and nationalities. I don't dispute though that it does exist, I have seen it and heard it. I too have been the victim of racism, yes that's right, but because I am white and blonde, I get remarks mostly from men of different races, anywhere I go on the bus and in stores, there are men of some races who just stare at me with a look that makes me very uncomfortable, and I hear sexual remarks. The other thing that bothers me is that white people are often being blamed, but yet there are different races that hate each other, this I know because I have friends of different nationalities who hate others not like them. Some nationalities even think that I have never had spices in my food, and that I dont know how to paint a wall or use tools, there is so much I can say about this. I guess everybody should sit down and talk to each other, learn about each other.
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? ;-)

I'm a white guy and went to a black Barber shop. I was treated with respect and he did a very good job on the hair cut. Why can't all places treat all customers with respect? Every paying customer regardless of race should be treated with respect.

Raynard Williams-Martinez What are you talking about? My people? If you mean white people then their your people too since I'm guessing you have Spanish ancestors.

Over 82 million people took the test and the results were that your preferences were for your heritage, over 97%. This was a very large sampling, over a long time period. They don't give the sampling data for the baseline sampling, or many other requirements for results.
