Section 4.2 - US/Canada/Greenland

Watch this YouTube video on Racism in Canada. Keep in mind, this video is only one perspective of what racism is and what it may look like to some in Canada and cannot be used as a definite indicator of life there.

After watching, detail your thoughts about racism in Canada and compare those to your feelings of racism/ discrimination in the US.

I Think Racism in America and Canada is the same. Racism is always going to be the same. I think that its one thing to make fun of someone and say your just playing later but some people take it to far and it becomes racism. I think its really dumb to just talk about someone your dont no at all just because of how they look. This Vernon

My thoughts about racism in Canada is that it really wrong and not even call for in the moment it have been thought of racism we as a people are equal fair everywhere, so why hate? My feeling is none. The people that are doing this they are feeling hated as well. Short term, someone are maybe somewhere they grew up like that.

Racism in Canada is not shocking to me. I think that since racisn is happening to Whites, like the KKK graffiti on the restroom wall, that now people are just starting to say something. Racism has been prevalent among Blacks, Asians, and any other races for years by the White man and now they can see what it feels like. There really isn't a difference between the racism in Canada and America. To me racism is racism no matter who it happens to or where it happens. Whenever you have different races coming together and nobody really knows each other or appreciates one anothers differences, then you will have problems like racism.

Racism in America and Canada are the same. We the people should be treated fair.Whenever you have different races coming together and nobody really knows each other or appreciates one anothers differences. Then you will have problems like racism. People always got different culture or they way they live.

I think that racism in America and Canada are the same. It is not right and everybody supposed to be treated fair, but that doesnt mean it will. I think everybody has something to offer and different cultures so people should take advantage of that in a good way, instead of treat each other like street crap.

Racism in America and Canada are the same. No matter where you go there is still going to be RACISM!just because you dont know about it, doesn't mean it isnt going on. everyone should be treated the same wheter you are black,white, blue or green. We are all equal and we should be treated like it.

Hereing that theres some type of racism in America is not suprasing. Even though there was a constitution that got passed on saying that all people are eqaul doesn't mean even men, woman , or child is going to treat each other equally. I have gotten some racial comment thrown a me by som white people so I know how it feels.

What I think about this is that they shouldn't use racism in Canada. I am glad that the U.S.A is not like Canada because everything whould be different. We use racism in some places of U.S.A but not everywhere like Canada. I think they should stop racism in Canada. I think that if they don't stop it will get worserthan it is now.

Racism is everywhere in the world things like that are going to be around for a long time and theres really nothing anyone can do about it. the best you can do is just ignore those stupid comments and move on with your life.

Even though racism is not as bad as it was back then people still doi it as well as descrimination and judgement as well. In this video Canada descriminates a lot because of their nationality. They think if you are not one of them they are not going to let you be a part of them. They are different from people in the US because they dont except people to come to their country and live life. There are people in the US who do this but it is way different in Canada. That is just what i think!
