You don't even have guts to visit India. Also India will become a super power in no time , see the number of soldiers we have , it's more than north America. Coming to technology we produce 1 million engineers every year. So now you do the math. We indians are racist to other people who live in South India or north india. But we are not racist to people from same state or same part of India.

I would dispute the cost of living argument putting Quebec at #1. I'm from there, and in Quebec, you have extremely high tax rates, almost no social services (since the health care system started imploding in the 90s and has the only such system in Canada that is almost completely non-transportable across provinces as Quebec refuses to pay anyone else or delays payment for so long, other provinces give up). Daycare workers don't even make minimum wage, the education system is heavily politicized and extremely poor (far too many teachers who couldn't care less about their students and do little work), rents are quite high in most cities, especially when you couple them with the high tax rates and the infrastructure is among the worst in North America. There are good points about Quebec, but I put it about on par with Montana or Alabama for what it offers the population, compared to costs. And then there's the wonderfully racist and nationalist government that feels it's a crime to wear a scarf.

Don't feel sorry for we asian people. We do not feel getting hurt for these dirty racist words, we just feel a little bothered like when you walking on street and a dog bark at you. Feeling hurt is just emotion of a weak, we Asian will not response to racist as the way black people doing ( Claiming and crying). We Asian will response to racist by making our countries stronger, richer and more civilized . Asian people have ever been lead the world, and nowaday we are coming back to lead the world in economy, education, scientist...

I liked Sham he seemed cool, but the middle on has a chip on her shoulder. First of all regarding the Oscars, I didn't think US was that good and you don't really think I hope that you should be awarded just because you're black? that's very racist period. I also think that example of a tweet you showed, was the worst piece of garbage that anyone could say and so unlike the average white person. I also think that racism against black people is against your YOUNG BLACK MAN. Who glorify gangs, guns, violence drug dealing. You guys know this is true. We and no one else has any problem with Black people, or Chinese, or any other culture if you are respectful, hardworking, intelligent. You are different, so am I and everyone else so what? Racism exists against White people too, we just don't talk about it because you've done a good job to Cower us.

7abibi UK is a secular country, you want Sharia then go to Saudi because no one's forcing you to stay here. there are no Muslim areas, it's a Christian country (which don't practice Christianity) and they're just guests here - such audacity. these idiots give us Muslims a bad image and more ammo to the racist EDL and far right

LOL Am Canadian born and raised here LOL ?????? That don't make you Canadian true Canadians are Natives so there is no need to be racist towards anyone we are all human beings and we all deserve respect if you lady don't know the history that is your problem but the guy on Video is right we are all equal and we all pay taxes ??????

so asking a question about whether you support sharia or not has becomes a racist remark , i'm Sikh and i don't support sharia law and these Singh brothers are disgrace to canada , they just wanted to please the growing population of Muslim in Canada for votes

There is no place for hate in society. Totally condemn. He is a Sikh not a Muslim. How can he not know any basic stuff like that. That being said Islamophobia should be defined correctly. Fear of Islam is different and hatred towards Muslims as persons is different. Fear of Islam is a rational fear not a phobia to have if you are a Canadian citizen. If Christianity spreads like the way Islam is spreading in Saudi Arabia or other Islamic nations, then Muslims will be scared and they have the right to fear. So don't label it as a racist if someone condemns Islam as ideology. If they hate Muslims and bully them show them their place and expose them.

Racism has always been in Canada, dont be fooled. It may not be as prevalent as in other countries but racism is in fact here in Canada, I grew up here, Im a black born Canadian and dealt with it all my life. Mostly just taunting and name calling but one thing is certain, wherever you find white people you will find a lot of ignorance and even the good ones seem to always be a step or 2 away from a racist rant when they agitated. As long as they don't get violent with non whites then I guess we can deal with the slander and name calling. As a person with a darker hue, you will always be looked at like you are an Alien to them.

I used to live in Brampton and this is the city where I first landed. No hatred for the city but people have ruined it. I'm a brown guy myself so I can't be racist against my own people and tbh, some of the best people I know in Canada are Sikhs but even they accept the fact that there is a large number of bad apples in their community. Sikhs have played a major part in both positive and negative way, to make and break this city.\n\nInsurance scams in Brampton cost their citizens to pay one of the highest premiums in the country. Generally, drivers in Brampton have no fuckin' idea how to drive because the licences were literally bought. \n\nA large number of people of our brown community always hell bent on abusing the system, wherever they go. We bring the same back home mindset here in Canada rather follow the system. \n\nThe only thing mostly brown community is focused on is how to make money and that's all. Don't try to learn the language, don't like to mix with people, don't care about the laws or anything. They only like to have nice big houses, show off their leased fancy cars and that's all.\n\nI left this city for good and don't regret my decision at all when I see numerous videos about the bad situation in Brampton. I'd love to move back to Ontario but cannot live in this city anymore. One thing really pissed me off when I was there that most people expect every brown person to speak Punjabi and when I used to tell them that I don't speak or understand Punjabi, you could see the surprized looks on their face.

When you are racist as fuck but don't give a shit.

Yes, she is racist and hypocrite mindset. She realised an apology to save herself. I would urge minorities in Canada to stand up tall against the right wing. Don't give them a chance.\n\nAlso speak the language you want. Canada and US are not created or owned by right wing to dictate the language people speak.

As a black man I rather live among the white than among these so called punjabis...just look how they treat each other in India, the North Indians don't want to have nothing to do with South indians all because they are a little darker...in Canada here they would rather employ only Punjabi, and no other race...if an Indian girl married a black man look how they will treat her. They would kill her and have nothing to do with her...and then you all talk about how whites are racist, oh please cry me a river....I rather live among the white people than among some of you...atleast white would employ a black man...these so called punjabis hardly ever employ a black man...if you all dont want to mix why come to canada...canada is a multi culture, please stay in India please and thanks!

Canada don't be a racist like trump, he himself is a result of immigrants. I'm glad to know you guys a are better open welcome to Canada. Does the average American even know the difference between migration and immigration??? Sadly no but the hard truth as non American immigrants is that they will sacrifice their lives along with children for a better future. Seeking manual labor to start from the bottom up. Any American born lazy ass can claim foodstamps and be ok. I like nicer things in life and I've worked my ass for the better life I have. its will in life not God given right.

The most racism I experienced in school was from teachers. Its the most profound kind of racism, because they are authority figures. The thing is when your fellow students display racism it doesn't have the same gravity as it does when your teacher does it because you know your teacher does know better but they truly believe it.In University, I actually had a teacher give a lesson that was so tinged with racism that it really broke me down, because what I've come to realize is that so many people think that being racist is saying actual racist words and don't understand that perpetuating stereotypes are the most prevalent forms of racism.  It is demoralizing because it feels like a losing battle when your teacher is perpetuating racially disparaging ideas to an entire class, and you think about how many people are going to be influenced by that idea and in turn perpetuate it. I realized that this teacher really insidiously believed what she was saying was true, but that it just wasn't politically correct to say it. The main principle of white privilege is that white people get to be individuals but people of colour get grouped together by the most base stereotype of their race.  I don't think Black-focused schools are the solution. I think more integrated schools with diverse populations of students and teachers are the solution.\n Then there are concrete issues of race, space and the law. For example when you come to realize that carding continues in Toronto, and that most residents do not care that young Black men are being harassed and treated like criminals by the police because it does not affect their community, it makes you wonder if people are only inclined to feel empathy for those who look like them.

I don't want to be racists cause im not I come from a country it has black people I mean a lot but just complaining black American they r racist too a lot of them are because when your Hispanic they see you and they want treat you like they are the best and im sorry for this comment but I feel like I been discriminated by them tho

Our politicians and police force are giving these terrorists a free hand. Civil war is coming to every western nation. Canada is heading for civil war .... just you wait in 10 - 20 years. This religion is going to bring great tribulation. Please don't confuse religion for race. Muslims are a sect of people that can be any race. STOP CALLING PEOPLE RACIST.

William d I think you should shut up. You must be tired from jumping to many conclusions. If one Muslim makes a mistake it doesn't mean all Muslims are bad people. You are a sick person and any one that agrees with you are sick sick people that don't deserve what the have. Now go away and shut your stupid racist mouth. And yes I'm hating on you.

For all those ugly and ignorant comments. If you want to judge a religion, judge it by the holy book, Quran. Islam is perfect, Muslims are not. You shouldn't waste your time on YouTube or Fox news, but instead if you really want to know about the religion, STUDY it. Oh! And don't waste your time my fellow Muslims replying to the racist or offensive comments because all they want is your ATTENTION!

more white guilt propaganda bullshit. Im not a racist so don't brand me one, what I want is true equality which means that I'm not going to pander to minorities for the sole reason that they are minorities. The incessant complaining about stereotypes towards blacks is ridiculous, all races have their own stereotypes. If someone saw a well dressed black person heading into an office building they wouldnt think twice but if someone saw a young black kid dressed like a gangster,smoking dope and acting shady theyre going to think suspiciously of you and there is nothing wrong with that. stop making it about race when it has a lot more to do with how you behave and act. The drive to get more black people in positions over authority for the sake of diversity is itself racist, the best person for the job is the person who should be in office if 8/10 judges are white and they are in fact the best people for the job then their should be no desire to change such things, we need to evaluate the character of a person and not their race. So much bullshit in this video it would take me hours to pick it apart.

I as a Canadian am sick of muslims and I don't care if people like it or not, they are ungrateful and Canadian taxpayers having to pay a bill of over 260,000 dollars makes me angry, if you don't want to show your faces get the hell out and don't come ,it's high time we all wake up and see this cancer for what it is. I'm not a racist, I am a patriotic Canadian.

It's peaceful right over the world my friend\n\nI'm not brainwashed either you see I don't listen to everything the stupid news tells me!! I'm not that stupid unlike (the average brit/american) is. So you can NOT talk to me about BRAINWASHING.\n\nIf you're talking about the mosque brainwashing me? Have you ever been there? You don't know anything about them my friend. You're just lying as your a racist atheist. The mosques are a good source of information.\n\nI do think for myself, you must to.

So, why are you in the UK when you clearly don't like it? I was an immigrant to there too (from Greece) from the ages 11-18 and I went to the countryside. I actually integrated, firstly because I'm white and secondly because people were racist to me and it meant I wouldn't continue used stupid customs and generally be a d*ck who wouldn't fit in. You should be glad people are racist to you and you should also leave. Take it from a former immigrant who is disgusted by the immigration attitude.
