  • Teachers in British Columbia have produced this antiracism video about the history of racism in Canada. It includes historical and contemporary examples of racism as well as positive changes in society. Finally, it urges teachers and students to be change-makers within our schools. Lesson plans accompany this and can be found at bctf.ca.

    I am American and this definitely confirms what a professor from India told me. There is racism all over the world. Human nature. In-group morality and out-group hostility taken to a whole new level.

    I am from Saudi Arabia, we have many races; Africans, Arabs, Asians, and etc and we are fighting racism among those races. Importantly, the racism most existing between Arabian tribes themselves. So widen your thinking and open your eyes.

    I have been living in Canada since 1991 and my background is Iranian. People associated my cultural values based on "Not Without My Daughter" movie and ISIS Muslim factions in the Middle East. There were also times that individuals mocked my English accent. There are not that many individuals here in Canada as well as in BC that they do not judge me base on my ascribed status. When I say there is racism in Canada, they get emotional that I am an anti Canadian.
    Canada is not a land of opportunity and a multicultural society. It is a land only for White Anglo Saxon Protestant.

      I hope you realize that Canada is a vast nation that varies from coast to coast in cultures and acceptance. I live just outside of Vancouver and I don't have any issues with people from different areas of the world, don't judge us all as a small group of people, we're not all the same.

      Peyman ADL DOUSTI HAGH I'm a legal Asian immigrant in Canada since 1989. I once for 2 years shared apartment with Iranians. Honestly some of you Iranians have a really big ego too. I just can't believe an educated man like Mr. Mahmoody treated his wife such way? I've never seen a Muslim husband agrees to marry his wife if she refuses to convert to Islam. The reason I wrote this line because my father is Buddhist and my mother is Catholic and my parents never impose religion choice on us. We immigrants have to accept the fact that Canadians don't invite us to come here. We're pretty much legal beggars. I don't know about your country but mine, I'm always ashamed of it because if it were as good as Canada I wouldn't have been here. So do your civic duty as a Canadian, take what you can and what Canada gives you. Don't expect it perfect. Peace!

      Can you please elaborate this? Cause it aint hidden its talked about all the time with the Natives so how is it hidden also KKK gets around well if you look for trouble you will get it? We have KKK, I know we do I seen them, so they don't hide at all we all want peace, so we keep to ourselves if you go looking for trouble like into their territory and tress pass you will get delt with go up north, for example, you will see if you let people be and live there life, they won't harm you but they sure look odd to all of us as slavery did back in the day before it was abolished.

    The 1914 Anthem of the Canadian Anthem is interesting but we have to be sure about one thing Racism is still alive and well in such a beautiful and caring nation
    Canada must come to terms with her history and become a better nation.
    Finally all peoples must be given the right within the nation of their birth.

    one other point i will add for today is. in this video about Canadian Racism there is an error in referring to the EAST INDIANS as an Indian. Now u have offended the Canadian Indian by including that in your production. My friend sitting beside me tells me that Canadian Indians r referred to as North American Indians, Aboriginal, First Nations and Indian. In India the Indians r called Indians but in Canada they r called EAST INDIANS, among some other things we wont say at this time. understand?

    This video had the potential to be a good educational tool but I feel it needs revisions. I didn't think the beginning and ending portions were very well acted and should be left out. I also found the Canadian anthem in the first half to be extremely dry and caused me to lose interest in the videos potential. The second half was very well done and very informative, thank you!

    Canadian Racism is like for instance when a Canadian wants to insult an immigrant they do not point their profanity at the immigrant instead they point it at Justin Trudeau for letting immigrants in. I faced it working in a liquor store where a white male asked me where I am from while I was serving him at the cash till, I only understood after a while, why the conversation about where I am from and when I moved to Canada ended up with a swear word for Justin Trudeau?

      The question is more so did the ones who are demanding the taxes EVER have to pay tax to take over this land and colonize it? If not, then no that's racism and unjust to say that you can invade a land that is not yours but you can charge anyone who comes after you to pay. Especially when you're using most of them as slave labor and doing jobs that put their lives in jeopardy when you yourselves were not willing to do it. Did you pay fair compensation for the fact that they could die? No. And it doesn't cost the taxpayers something when those who come here and get jobs pay taxes. Everyone pays taxes on food, shelter and transportation.
