The racism spewed by these individuals in this video is the reason why many immigrants look for enclaves where others look like them. So many lies too. Immigrants still have to prove their financial state to support dependents and themselves. The issue is the color of their skin NOT whether or not they came legally.

The Bike guy is spewing objectively false things about Africans using Richard Lynn IQ data which is disproven: Why "National IQ" Data is Fraudulent 1. The Data is Factually Fraudulent (Sample Bias) Richard Lynn did not use representative samples. For example, he famously assigned Equatorial Guinea an average IQ of 59 based on a group of children in a Spanish home for the developmentally disabled, then claimed that score represented the entire country. Peer-reviewed studies by researchers like Jelte Wicherts proved that Lynn systematically ignored higher-scoring African studies (some in the 80s and 90s) to keep his "averages" artificially low. If you judge a country’s intelligence by testing its hospitals and orphanages, you aren't a scientist—you're a fraud. 2. Nutrition is the "Hardware" of the Brain Intelligence cannot develop without biological fuel. As of 2026, roughly 30% of children in Sub-Saharan Africa suffer from stunting due to chronic malnutrition. Science proves that iodine and iron deficiencies alone can drop a population's IQ by 10–15 points. You aren't measuring "race"; you are measuring starvation. 3. The Education Gap (Abstract Reasoning) IQ tests do not measure "raw brain power." They measure Western-style schooling. Studies show that for every single year of formal education, a person’s IQ score increases by 1 to 5 points. Comparing the scores of people in countries with 30% literacy rates to people with PhDs in the West is like comparing the "athletic ability" of a runner to someone who has never been given shoes. 4. The "Age and War" Factor The median age in many African nations is under 20, compared to over 40 in Europe. These tests are often administered to children and adolescents in areas plagued by toxic stress from war and displacement. Peer-reviewed research confirms that trauma and PTSD physically impair the parts of the brain responsible for the logic puzzles found on IQ tests. 5. The Flynn Effect (The Death of the Racial Argument) If IQ were "innate" and "racial," it would never change. However, as nutrition and education improved in the West over the last 100 years, average IQ scores jumped by nearly 30 points. This is called the Flynn Effect. African scores are currently rising at the same rate as they develop. The "gap" is a development gap, not a genetic one. Conclusion: Using Richard Lynn’s data doesn't make you a "truth-teller"; it means you fell for a man so biased that his own university revoked his emeritus status for scientific or incompetence and racism. You are confusing privilege—access to food, safety, and a classroom—with innate ability.

I am so happy people are starting to speak up. Sadly, I am changing. I am becoming angry. Angry at immigrants and the system. Am I becoming racist? Or just so lost at how things seem so wrong. My main upset is for my teen son. Turned 16 after Christmas. So excited about looking for a part-time job, earning some money, getting experiences and (unbeknownst to him ) expanding his social circle. This excitement came from me. LIke all us Canadians who remember our first part-time jobs (mine was at a McDonalds), I regaled my son in stories of that first part-time job. How much I learned from it, and the so many benefits it would have for me as I got older. He listened, and couldn't wait to turn 16. Also, like most parents, I raised him on the benefits of working hard in school, getting good grades, learning, getting involved, etc. Do these things son, and you will have a good future. He listened. Honours student all his life. Played on school teams. Performed in talent shows, Volunteered his time, etc., etc. Not a bad resume for a first time teen seeking a job. It is now heading into September. He has applied at all the traditional teen job hotspots, (all the fast food joints, grocery stores, drug stores, etc). Dozens of resumes, online and in-person applications. Not a single response. Then I walk into the local Burger King. Not a single Caucasian, Black, Hispanic, Indigenous, or Far Eastern employee. All East Indian (or Pakistani). Suddenly I am really noticing this trend everywhere, especially in the franchise fast food industry; especially upsetting when I even see it in a Harvey's (even more Canadian than Timmies). It's either East Indians or Arabs. I don't know for how long I have been hearing about diversity and fair hiring practices (which I have always supported); but to see this trend makes me furious. Are the owners of these franchise exempt from fair hiring practices? Are they not taught we are a diverse country? This is wrong. I want to finish with two sad situations which we should all be concerned about. When my eldest was looking for part-time work after the pandemic, he walked into a Mr. Submarine. He asked if he could leave his resume or fill out an application. The Arab cashier told him in broken English they were not hiring. As he was walking out, a young Arab man walked in. He approached the same cashier and asked for an application. She gave him one. WTF. My last comment, is the most concerning of all. My 16 year old, who works so hard at school, and at everything he does, recently commented, after yet another non-reply after handing out a slew of resumes, "Dad... what's the use of working so hard if I can't even get a job at McDonalds." I wonder how many other Canadian teens are feeling the same way. Not just white teens. Black, Hispanic, Indigenous and East Asian teens. Seems the broken English East Indian and Arab teens and young adults aren't asking themselves that. How long until my son thinks I am just spewing BS about this hard work thing? This is not about racism. This is about fair hiring practices, especially in more and more franchises; however, I do find myself listening to more and more of these videos, and find myself developing sucb negative feelings towards these two cultures. This is not Canadian. To be thinking this way, especially, is not Canadian. What do we do? Speak up, and we are racist. Stay quiet, and our teen kids move into adulthood without job experience, money put away, or just having a life experience that any of us over 30 (no matter our race) experienced. Something has to change; but I haven't a clue how to do that.
