"No asian youtuber celebs in the US". COUGH ryan COUGH higa COUGH.
+Aman Rizwan he's from hawai
+920192 9201 he still Asian American
Hawaii is part of America....
No East Asian they said. So it doesn't count

that fact that Canada doesn't fight wars is SO WRONG Canada fought in WWI, WWII, Korea and Afghanistan. You may be surprised to know that Canada won some major battles ALONE. During the second world war we made it farther inland than any other landing force on D-Day 12 miles to be exact. We liberated the Netherlands when the Americans failed with operation market garden. We broke through the front lines in the battle of the Anzio in Italy. During the first world war we captured a ridge (Vimy Ridge) in 3 days when every other force tired for 3 years. In Korea we held the line against waves of Chinese forces so our allies could retreat. We paid for our independence with blood.
+Briangames PC (BriangamesPC) Canada liberated the Netherlands only when the front reached there. Market Garden (which included British Airborne as well) failed because it was an attempt to capture key bridges by combined air assault and a rapid ground advance up to 50 miles behind enemy lines. That Canada was the military to liberate the Netherlands only came down to the area of operation the Canadians were assigned. Had Canadians been elsewhere in the Allied advance they might have gone straight into Germany.
+Briangames PC (BriangamesPC)
And dont forget, Canada was fighting in World War Two for More then TWO YEARS before the US.
+Briangames PC (BriangamesPC) So true! Also, segregation and assimilation was definitely a thing.
+Briangames PC (BriangamesPC) Thanks BriangamesPC. There is also the rescue of the US hostages from Iran in 1981. That was totally orchestrated by Canadians and NOT by the Americans as portrayed in Ben Afflecks movie "Argo" I don't know how many US residents realize that.
+Briangames PC (BriangamesPC) yes but we have fought to protect other countries to help but we have not called on war on another country
I like how this turned from “Asian Americans differ from Asian Canadians” to “America vs Canada”
Yes, ikr
We also liked how they said asians in america are smarter than asians in canada xD
I'm late to the party, but uhhh, yeah, Canadians have a history of racism. We had segregation AND slavery too. Slavery just ended sooner for us, and segregation is still a reality of life for First Nations people. Asians suffered a lot of racism in Canada historically. Our first PM actually advocated strongly for denying Asians the vote. I think the difference is that we didin't enshrine a lot of our racism and as solidly as Americans did in their Constitution. Rest of the list is gold tho!
Felis Dee we also had Japanese internment camps in Alberta, which no one knows about for some reason!
True dat. I remember the book "Obasan" by Joy Kagawa which talked about that very thing in detail. I probably only know about that book because I'm Asian. :S And let's not forget the Chinese who built the railroad under some pretty horrific conditions...
Actually, the Constitution didn't mention slavery. Racism was so ingrained that the writers of the Constitution didn't seen any irony in the claim that all men are created equal, in a country in which slavery was legal.
We even had immigration policies that prevented asians from entering Canada during the 1900's like the Chinese Head Tax or the Anti-Asian policy. It wasn't really until Pierre Trudeau became Prime Minister that Canada began to embrace the whole concept of multiculturalism and diversity. A lot of people tend to ignore or forget the fact that Canada was racist too....
Can't deny any of it, as Canadians we've had and have it all. Don't know that we take as much pride in it though.
This is sooooo wrong there are actually a lot of black people especially in toronto.
thanks i wont go to Toronto anymore then hah!
alot man most are calm though
lol Jamaica tingz
Devine did u even watch the video, they were saying how they're aren't a lot of black people but there is lol
Kim Le she said there aren't a lot of black people in canada compared to the US. and she also said things may be different in toronto than in vancouver.
Sadly there WAS segregation in Canada. Ever heard of Viola Davis Desmond? She is the Canadian Rosa Parks except Rosa Parks came along nine years later so technally Rosa Parks is America's Viola Desmond! Viola lived in Nova Scotia, the very province who prides it's self as being the "end of the underground railroad". Canada may not have the kkk or the larger colour issues that the States has but our history is not as lily white as we might like to believe,
Callie Walsh and then there's the whole native families being torn apart thing sooo ya
Callie Walsh Exactly. Japanese Canadians were also interned and Chinese Canadians were murdered and oppressed as well. Canada has a racist White past though the land belongs to Indigenous Canadians.
Japanese Canadians got their reparations although not that much :( still sad history but canada is doing better!! free prescription pills for any ontario resident under 25, minimum wage was raised to $14, tuition is now free for low income students, and mariguana will be legalized summer of 2018. Justin Trudeau in office has done so much for canadians we're so happy :)
Sahra I Yeah but racism is still a problem towards non-White Canadians. The racists need to realize that Canada is NOT a White country and they are not entitled to it based solely on the fact that they are White.
Callie Walsh especially with First Nations 😢
I’m Canadian and the last point is bs. We had some slavery for sure and we did have segregation. Just not as bad .. :(
tk421missing we have all kinds of people here
tk421missing 🤨 What’s up with you and why are you being so negative?
To go with the "Asian" theme we had a really bad head tax.
We didn't have any industries that could profit from it. That's the same reason the north freed their slaves long before the south. It wasn't profitable.
Slaves were brought over by aristocrats, but it was never industrialized in Canada.
THERE WAS SLAVERY IN CANADA !! WE LEARN ABOUT THIS IN SOCIALS 10
I think she meant Canada, as a country; Not as a colony. We didn't become a country (independent from Britain/France until 1867). They had slavery.
Summr Usman it wasn’t Canada then it was France and Brits who brought the slaves.
Damn we never learned that in california
No... slavery is uniquely American
@@canman5060 Some are descendants of the United Empire Loyalists but as a Canadian I have never met one. I have met many Canadians who some of their ancestors came from the US (myself included) but they came long after the UEL.
This is more Asian British columbians vs Asian Californians
Vancouver asians are lame
the truth has been spoken
No Asians in CT act gangster.
Actually California has about 4 million Asians.
TheSuburbanBase wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow lol
Dual citizenship FTW! As a "Torontonian", the slang Linda used definitely doesn't apply here haha~ (also actually Canada IS better than the U.S. Fight me.)
Are u duel?
Nia T yes
Come to visit portland, ok?
Definitely Canada rules
No such thing as "Free" Health Care it should be called Tax Payed Health Care
This was super insightful and Fun! You guys are hilarious and so captivating 😊
Canada has lots of other asians... This video isn't accurate. I am Asian Canadian btw.
this video was made in 2014,so it's most likely not up to date with the information
I am Asian American
I second this, my parents are both immigrants, one from South Korea and the other from The Philipenese
@@JenShea We have every type of Asian in Western Canada too 🙄
Haha awesome! Had a blast filming with zee hilarious fungbros! =)
I love your videos!!!
Oh GURL! It's so cool to see you with Fung Bros! This has got to be one of my most favourite CZcams videos ever.
It's funny cuz you didn't talk about Surrey Jacks!
Love your videos Leenda :D
Lol Canadians are notorious. For dropping t's. Alber-ta is pronounced alberda torono calgry oddowa were crazy
nyall hughes thats not all true... maybe true in some parts of Canada but Canada is big... trust me im Canadian and from "ToronTo"
I'd like to see the Toronto version. Seems like we're a ~bit~ different compared to Vancouver.
I wish these things would leave out the "Canada" and just go with whichever city you're from. Cause this is b.s..
How are where is this ting getting her facts from?
big facts
No problems, as a Torontonian semi-retired single dude, I'm soon moving to either Philippines and Thailand. The hell with Canada for my retirement.
Quite different
LOVE LOVE LOVE this Vid! Great Job... I had to watch it 4 times
Thanks for the sharing. I was pretty amazed with the presentation. At least we can the clearer perspective about Asian descendants in Canada & US
Im from canada and never heard that slang ever
Same
it's a native canadian accent , ask your grandma about it.
never heard of it either
+Alpha Slick my grandma is from England,and the closest people that Talk like aboot,and Eh!are Newfies and other far east Canadians!
its prob that made up slang that no one ever uses but somehow exists
I'm Canadian and no one says "aboot" and "eh"
+Nicholas Wilger If america is full of gun toting fatties, then canada says aboout and eh
+Nicholas Wilger I'm Canadian, and I can totally agree we say "eh"."Aboot" no, but DEFINITELY "eh". They just aren't using it in the right context. They like to throw "eh" in whereever they want to, to make fun of us. But we do generally use it when asking a question, where it's expected that the person agree with us. For example, " Wow, the weather is pretty cold today, eh?" We basically turn statements into questions with it :p
+lilnangle @
+Nicholas Wilger I'm Canadian and I say eh but not aboot because its where i live in canada
I had a grade 8 teacher who said "eh" a lot
You guys are awesome! Keep it up!
I really enjoyed this video. Make more videos like this please. I am anxious to watch your other videos.
ASIAN CANADIANS ARE MORE OPEN TO MIX DATING.
not really. it is opposite.
City Canadians don't say aboot or eh?
lol, so tru
Not aboot, but I've heard Torontonians say "eh".
we don't, we say "A"
Now I want to visit Canada so I don't feel like a lonely asian in America cuz some parts of the US there are not as much asians and it feels better when there are alot of asians around like when I go to San Francisco
Go to Cali. There are tons of asians.
I live in northern Cali... No Asians here. XD
Yeahh Cali doesn't have that much asians especially where I live. There are alot of variety, but I live in a small town that only has like 5 Chinese people
Ray Coaster Not exactly it depends, where most are at Vancouver and Toronto. Other places ehhh not as many, you just have to know where to look.
I live in Canada and my school is basicly just all asians with like 20/500 white kids all taught by white teachers
Good video folks. Thanks for that.
i always love you guys' videos!
WTF! We have *EVERY KIND OF ASIAN IN CANADA!*
Misterprickly I know we have so many,
Perhaps they are speaking for those in BC but here in Ontario we have a wide variety
Misterprickly That's true, though I think 5 years ago there were all sorts of ethnicities in one class. I don't know about now, seems like more from hong kong now =/
And I'm talking about BC
Fire Heart No, BC has pretty much all kinds as well. I have korean friends and japanese friends =/ so they definitely exist
KizuRai oh okay then i guess they have been misinformed
I wanna go to Canada! And you can't stop me!
***** one day i will but right now I'm stuck at home
It's freaking cold over here. lol -_-
Sure save your money and come here! Just come in about 4 months. We're going to be buried in snow for the next month or so and cold until about June so...see ya!
YouKnowYongHwa i like the cold
Raba Mustapha okay! haha
"Big American lake" Boi, Canadians have more lakes that every other country in the world combined
Sinister shhhh don’t tell no one
He meant that we have a bigger population
looks like some one here doesn't know what a metaphor is
You lack basic comprehension skills
I was so surprised when he mentioned mongolian
Yeah i was too. There are like 4000 of us here in the US. Not that many compared to other Asians
Sain uu
I was suprised when they mentioned Hmong.
Yep they are turks. Indians, bengalis, Pakistanis, Iranians, and Turks are also Asians.
@@ElMakz many turkic are very similar to Asian (ENGIN ALTAN)
Mongols and turks (not on turKIC) bros forever
I'm Canadian but we have to realize that we had residential schools🤷♀️.
susan vy also aboriginal slaves
The better to indoctrinate the sheeple. If you enjoy Socialism then so be it.
Had? Do you know how many reserves have no clean water? Are you aware of the awlful racism spewed towards Aboriginals by MOST Canadians? That our PM is all out ignoring laws and treaties to lay a pipeline that WILL leak? It's not like anything has changed since res schools.
Thas right, the way we treat our Aboriginals brothers and sisters is a disgrace. We has a nation need to make sure that our First Nations have all the resources they need. We need to lsiten to what they are saying and respect Mother Earth.
susan vy so did America
I kinda wanna be an Asian Canadian now....
CANADA FOR THE WIN!
***** Lol you said "eh" just like how Canadians do XD
***** I just hate how people in america are so racist to asian, like in Canada they accept all asians and it so chill there
Ikr seems like there's more asians there
fuckk u
I really enjoyed this video :)
speaking french in canada is definitely NOT like speaking spanish in america haha they basically only speak french in quebec
Cassandra L ahlie fam. mandem be cuting from French class
In Ontario most big cities like Ottawa and Toronto are pretty Bilingual as well as in Halifax
Yeah that's not how they meant it
Is it just me as a Canadian citizen, or do I just hate it when someone refers to us as Americans... Yes we live in North America, but we are Canadian not American. Canadian...
Edit: I mean that when people are referring to Canadians when talking many times they call them Americans. Its difficult for anyone to immediately know the country someone is from.
Can't tell the diff. You white people all look alike. :D
Nope, just that all white folks look alike. I guess if I stuck around long enough I could tell the difference. :D For that matter, every country I go to, the natives all look alike :D
kingrocker44 White people are not the only people who live in Canada and the USA....
sorafanchick Did I say that? Read the previous posts.
kingrocker44 You responded to a person who says people confused Canadians with Americans, and you responded "you white people look alike". So by your response it sounded like you believed only white people live in the USA and Canada.
Finally, a polite, honest and absolutely entertaining channel that makes me feel good. Love you guys.
Haha, this was a great video. You guys are hilarious! Go Canada. :)
Love this channel - awesome, eh!
Actually, Canada did have slavery, but they got rid of it much earlier than the U.S.
That's why Canada is better.
Canada kind of technically did not have it because we weren't "Canada" the country as of yet though you're correct that there was slavery in the territory now known as Canada. It was nowhere near the scale that it was in the United States and as you said did end much earlier than in the US.
Daniel Aquilina Yeah, I'm aware of that. Canada, similarly to New England, wasn't so fertile. It was mainly rocks over there, so they had little to no need for slave labor.
***** Yes, most into Nova Scotia.
***** Yeah. Numerous fugitive slave laws allowed slave-owners to search the Free States for their runaway slaves. This prompted the slaves to move further into Canada. Britain outlawed slavery in 1833, so the runaways stayed in the Free States until then.
You forgot difference #1: Asian food in Vancouver is 10x better than ANY American city.
Yes that's absolutely true my cousins own a restaurant called Paradise and their food is amazing!
Bullshit.
Vancouver is nothing against San Francisco Chinese food, and Los Angeles Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese cuisine.
San Francisco especially, is like the birthplace of Asians in the West, so it's not even the same. Asians in Canada wasn't even a thing until the late 80's.
DarPower1 Got a problem?
Victor Prom Yeah, I'm astonished that recently Asian Vancouver has better food than cities thats been bring cuisine from the Orient since the 1800's.
Well... with over 30 dim sum restaurants and all the other asian cuisines I'm not surprised about that
This is still the one of the best video that the fung bros did in the past . I keep rewatching this
So much Love to Canada from Kenya :)
Canada also doesn't have targets anymore.
Alex Zhou and best buy took over future shop
Ikr whyyyyyyy 😭😭💔💔
Kuldeep Sharma Tell me you knew about this since 2001.
Alex Zhou the day i cried
Alex Zhou Target sucks a fat one anyways, we didnt get american deals and prices, we would rather go to walmart. .. thats why target didnt succeed here
Actually, there WAS segregation in Canada. Read up on Viola Desmond.
just befor 5:01 in the vid it says thire was no slaves thire was just we stop slavery befor that did
Canada used native american as slave. Well in Quebec I don't know for the rest of Canada
and KKK
And of course don't forget about the internment of the Japanese in WW2
There was Racism/segregation and much more in Canada. THE BIGGEST AND WORST was South African Apartheid was based on Canada's "Native Reserve System". Canada (along with those "Native schools") had a terrible system of discrimination and oppression in place against the "Native People". This system is what South Africa used and copied! I had to learn this from my mother. We didn't learn this in schools when I was growing up (I am 37). By that time our classes came it was erased, but many books and Google show the sources. Also, Asian's during the wars (especially Vancouver). I can go on. Up here (Canada) we "grew up" (and mostly still do, but it is more subtle now) with the same racism as the USA does. Down there it is (mainly) black vs white (jewish vs "others", etc. exist everywhere also) and in Canada it is white vs "Native people" (again there is much more like everywhere else!). Most of it stems back to the settlers and all the decisions and balance of power since. When one society "wins" then there are people who get hurt and "the winners" have some of their people think they know better and enforce their will and ways on others.
The founding fathers of the United States knew this so well that they made all the founding documents to try and stop it, yet during the whole time they where breaking their very own words.
All these "errors" in history are not "Race", even though that is how they are what is being talked about here, they are "human errors" that will always be there no matter what. If it it wasn't based on "race" then it would be something else "religion" (which was at the base of most of the "racism" and "segregation"/etc.) or a multitude of other reasons (nationalism/etc.) will be used as an excuse for humans to hurt and control other humans!
You guys absolutely funny, thank you
Actually there was slavery Canada just stopped slavery before America
Princess Fiore true
Overall, Canada wins
Technically when slaves were in Canada it was during British and french rule, canada was not a country at that point
And plus: the Underground Railroad that saved slaves in America brings them to Canada. Soooooo
theodd fairy America didn’t finish slavery
Do they not know about the Japanese interment camps that occurred in Canada?
+Not A Canadian The same interNment camps that occurred in the U.S. of A? That would be negative 1 to each wouldn't it? Utopia is not out there Mulder.
+Not A Canadian Or the residential schools that we sent our indigenous people too so we can destroy their culture?
They're talking about the 21st century not 1940
The last school closed in 1996. Thats our lifetime bro
If that is so, then they would not have mentioned segregation in the US as that was also an official policy in the 20th century.
There are a couple of points that were inaccurate. Canada was involved in the war in the Pacific fighting alongside the British and we also fought in Korea as it was a UN intervention. Also, another black mark on our history was when the government of Canada forcibly relocated Japanese-Canadians to the interior. I think Canada has its own problems, they're just not as well known.
*****
whats your point? the japanese people who were forced to relocate had nothing to do with the killings the japanese empire did in ww2.
*****
again, wtf is your point? neither Ryan or I mention anything about slavery numb nuts
iKeel Porpidza Yes, but Japanese spies in America passed photographic imagery of Pearl Harbor to the Japanese Empire. I'm not justifying interment camps, but I understand the reasoning behind it.
Ryan DeJong yeah our government likes to hide those truths and then go "oh right...that incident...woops." I do think though that perceptions of Asian people is a lot more judgemental in the US since Japan attacked Pearl Harbour. The Japanese internment camps in Canada were COMPLETELY unnecessary, but in times of war anyone and everyone from a perceived enemy country becomes a threat. The Germans that had nothing to do with WW1 or WW2 know that experience well. Kitchner, Ontario was actually renamed. It was originally called Berlin, but because of WW1 the name was changed.
The Japanese Canadians were treated better in those camps, the bad part was their land was sold after the war. Canada has since formally apologized and repaid Japanese Canadians.
keep up the great work.
Lol... Canada fought in WWII and was a part of it long before Pearl Harbor. They were even part of D-Day and stormed Juno Beach together with the British.
But.... Canada IS better...
I agree
YASSS CANADA FTW
***** evidence?
Most everything about Canada seems better than America. People are nicer it seems like. They're more accepting...and everyone's really hot and the girls are tough * in love *
I have a dominican friend who lives in Canada now, and everything they say is true! Canada is wonderland pals, except for the cold weather, sorry, dominicans are used to the tropic TT.TT
Um, yeah, Canada is just better in every single aspect, except the winter weather. There are tons of different asians in the other bigger and medium-sized cities, but Vancouver is definitely overrun by Hongers.
Bruh, You dont even got football.
Jarrett Long cuz football is a sport where big fat men wear tight pants and touch eachothers butts, no thank you.
Then explain why more people want to go to the United States? And no one cares about Canada?
Jarrett Long Actually we do we have the cfl where all of your nfl players come from..... They go to the cfl play there untill they get noticed from the nfl and then get drafted.... Dumb fuck
DarPower1 Because USA has an image as the "land of possibilities". It's not a matter of nobody caring for Canada, it's a matter of USA just having an extremely high amount of publicity.
I’m gonna move to Canada after this video
This was hilarious! Love to all my Canadians :)
Umm... Chinese Head tax? Did you guys just forget that? I mean its like Grade 11 Canadian History.
+d In certain provinces that is taught in grade 11, not all. also it is most likely not taught in the states.
Cioas Gavin Well umm she is from BC. The province I live in. The same city I live in. So your point may have had merit but not really in this case. Also I wasn't talking about the Americans I wouldn't expect them to know or care about it considering it has not happened in their country.
+d The Chinese head tax was horrible, but it's hardly on the same level as slavery, Jim Crow, or KKK.
Stanley Winford can't forget Donald Trump.
+d We also gave horrible food to chinese immigrants working in the mines and we called it Paté Chinois (Sheppard's pie) and they hated it. But we French Canadians love it hahaha! It's Grrreat!
Vancouver or Toronto has to be the worst place to compare Canadians vs. Americans. People in those two cities, especially Toronto are practically Americans with Canadian citizenships. All the little things, such as 5 lane highways and multiple professional sport teams gives off a huge American influence. For example, Dannie Riel calls Winnipeg home, but she spends 80% of her time in the US. No Canadians want Bieber back in Canada and Drake, without the job with Raptors, he is practically American.
*If you want real comparisons*, look at Canadians cities with less than 1 Million people and no celebrities.
Edward Kwong
Are you dumb? Her point is that you cannot compare two things that are practically the same. In order to make a proper comparison, you have to find Canadians who do not have the same level of American influence as those found in Vancouver/Toronto.
Edward Kwong
Lmao. You do realize that *JUST* one larger state such as California has higher population than all of Canada? I know that were strictly talking about asians, but have you stopped to think that any kind of comparison between Canada and America, is using some sort of *SMALL* unique population sample collected from Canada? So then by using a more Canadian "so to speak" asian population such that of Quebec City, Quebec, the data collected, is going to be way better than taking it from larger cities that has a huge American influence. (Montreal, Toronto, or Vancouver). Those 3 cities alone makes up close to one third of the total Canadian population.
YOU WANT UNIQUENESS... That is the only way you can truly differentiate between Asians in Canada to those found in America. One of key points is the FRENCH language. For example, you are a immigrant and want to be a complete Canadian? Learn and become fluent with the two official languages of the country is your best option. And since most of the major cities in Canada are highly American influenced, you cannot use them and therefore, you are left with very small Asian populations for comparisons. I would go as far as to say Calgary and Edmonton are on the same boat as Montreal, Vancouver, and Toronto. Don't believe me? One of the biggest similarities of those major cities is the fact that they are all located in the southern part of Canada, near the American border. The exception in Quebec City in being close to the border is the fact that it still retains the French culture, unlike Montreal, whereas the French speaking population is decreasing year to year.
GO TO PROVINCE LIKE ALBERTA ,PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND OR SASKATCHEWAN IF YOU WANNA SEE REAL CANADIANS!!!!!
sooo true Calgary is the place where you can see like fricken %96 of asians
Great...keep up the good work.
Love your videos.
Thanks for including Indo-Canadians as Asians.
Because almost EVERYONE forgets that they too are Asian.
***** Because they completely get left out in the Discourse pertaining to "Asians." BTW, in the US, the term Asian is used strictly to denote East Asian/South East Asian peoples. In the UK, Asian almost 100% of the time means Indian or Pakistani.
That's a tad generalization. Maybe just Pakistan and the Punjab. An Assamese Indian or Tamil or Bengali has little to with a person from Iran or Saudi Arabia. A vast amount of East Asians are Buddhist, a philosophy which originated in India and spread East. Ancient Hindu Empires were completely dominant in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Burma, Buddhism was prominent in China and Japan.
dude techniclly russians are asian but you dont see them crying aboot it lol
Coolman1695 That's cause Russians have always wanted to be known as Europeans.
technically Canadians are American as well
You have backwards. In practice Canadians are American - we have pretty much the same accent,t he same clothes, same language, same wars, postage from one works in the other, telephone system is the same (don't need to dial internationally from one to the other), but technically the Canada and America are two different countries.
Brian Castle nope not in practice. an american is someone who lives on the continent of america(i said continent because north and south america are not actual separate continents because they are only separated by a man made structure.)
houseofaction When the first Secretary General of NATO (not an American) famously said NATO was formed ""to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.", people assumed he meant that "Americans" included all of North, South and Central America? It doesn't take long to find many other examples of common usage. Even in the replies to this video when people say "Stupid American" do you assume they're including Canadians and Peruvians?
Brian Castle i do not care when the secretary general of NATO said or what people assume. america is a continent(north and south) and the people in it are americans
Sure, everyone is free to make up their own definitions or to use definitions that are 200+ years out of date, so feel free to go ahead and do that.
Hey great video. I'm Vancouverite living in Alberta now.but moving back lol. Not quite going to subscribe yet, but I'll check out a few more of your videos!
"watchu know aboot Drake eh?!" Hilarious.
Canada seems to be the best place in all the Americas
+BlackhawkX02 It is, most peaceful country with the lowest rate of crime, every country in "The Americas" South of Canada have very high crime rates. (Heck even Canada's are in some areas but they would still be quite low compared to American Standards). Canada may not be the safest country in the world to live in (as some countries in Europe/ Asia have Canada beat). But when it comes to countries in The Continental Americas Canada is the safest. "The Americas" has the world's Highest Intentional Homicides Rates. It's so bad that the U.S. is considered one of the "good countries." However for a developed nation they bring down the ratings considerably. & Canadian Crime is spilled over & worse because of the Americans & their Arms Deals & cross border contraband.
+Radeo Oh god ughhhh this is a bad idea on my note... .-.
I'm so thankful that I wasn't born in America because I'm a Muslim. Canada is so accepting of other ethnicities and religions, there are a few times that I've been treated differently because of my religion but there were always people who stood by my side. God bless everyone
Canada never had to deal with poverty, colonialism, and slavery like The DR, Jamaica, Parts of the US, Haiti, Brazil and etc.
+OSHO oh yea?visit a first nation reservation you idiot
Americans always advertise FREEDOM, but I feel like Canada has more freedom! Anyway, time to pack my bags. Bye murica.
come to us, we got moose and maple syrup, eh?
and if someone gets butthurt just go get your feelings checked for free
I A M J O K I N G
but yeah free healthcare and equality :DD
Stephen Cody We have Froot Loops in Canada! Also, we have many many American products, not all of it is Canadian. Actually, there's a lot less Canadian products that's why those Canadian products are promoted.
Stephen Cody We have Froot Loops now in Canada. We actually have a good portion and uh have you ever heard of the internet? Also, mainly, we come across to America to buy stuff off you because it's cheaper due to the fact our economy is better
I have a friend that live in canada and she crave for hot Cheetos Cahse canada don't have it.
OhKayla
USA economy is slightly better right now, USA unemployment rate is a bit lower, plus people make only a tad bit more money here even though we have a lower cost of living, also your food is more expensive simply because your country is small not because you have a better economy, all your doing is helping the USA economy even more by shopping, and our lower food prices are because many of the companies we eat from our located here, plus there lots of competition and everything comes in bulk
Boy, I've always taken what I had for granted as an Asian teen in a Canadian middle school full of people from other countries.
A CBC survey also concluded that canadians are more close minded and less accepting of multiculturalism compared to people in US
@@chrisa4394 America also uses race based affirmative action to screw Asians over. You don't see this bullshit in Canada.
I’m a black Canadian who loves watching your channel and this was definitely very accurate. ❤
I was so happy when he said Cambodians. Cause most people when they talk or think about Asians the think Vietnamese Chinese Japanese. Some people don't even know what Cambodia is.
I know right? That happens to me too
no racism in Canada? what about the first nations and the boarding schools they were forced in to become Europeanized?
Ya i rote the same thing
yeah i agree, but i think they meant more racism in america.
Lol xd
Yesterday from the day I posted this, we wore orange bands for the boarding schools they were put in as we disagree with that. It's been 20 years since the last boarding school closed
basically racism against natives in Canada = sending natives to school
racism against natives in America = putting natives in graves.
You are a clown.
You guys are hilarious.
0:59 хэхэ iam mongolian bro... why are we still characterized as mountain men lmaoo
doesn't matter if Canadian or American. We're Asians and I love my Asian people
This is one of the only nice comments in this comments section😂 Why people are using this video as an excuse to hate either country is beyond me...but thank you for your positivity!:)
Portal Thanks for your positivity.
It's funny how we humans construct divisions between groups - based on geography, skin color, religion (or lack of), social status, motorist vs cyclist, etcetera, then suddenly become allies against a common enemy (lets call it Trump as an example).
Can't you love your own Asian kind in your own countries and stop bugging us with your bull shit here?
RedPillMale I'm pretty sure they are American and Canadian citizens respectively, and judging by their accents, probably born here, plus they seem like nice people to me, so I don't know what has you so upset.
but but but.... IM JAPANESE-CANADIAN, there is a lot of japanese people in canada, this vid is a lie
;-; omg, don't worry, :3 If anything, there are more Japanese in Canada, particularly Saskatchewan, than there are Jewish people ;-; I'm Israeli and i know no one who speaks my language
oh :(
And korean
+sakaguchi samurai Im sure its because of the area shes in. Vancouver has lots of koreans and chinese at least thats what I see. I may be wrong since I don't go up to every asian in Vancouver and ask them where they are from XD
Vancouver has a lot of Indians (mostly Sikh immigrants from my experience) and Japanese!
aight i jus ran into u fellas.. this was funny being a 1st gen azn american born in brooklyn ny. ✌️
LOVE your video! vote for a remake as some of infos are outdated! And Canada did have racism background before 70s :D
Vancouver = Singapore 2.0
Jonathan Y Wu lol Markham, Ontario is like Singapore 2.0
Kuldeep Sharma Never been there before. The only 2 places in Ontario I've been are Toronto and maybe Mississauga.
Jonathan Y Wu come to markham next time lol! its diverse just like singapore - you got your asians, tamils, and everything in between
Kuldeep Sharma k then
***** well, you know singapore is east meets west, so...
The one on war bothered me. Average American doesn't want war. But those in Congress or who have a financial stake in war bonds and technology, they want the war cycle to continue. Most Americans just want a job. Still appreciated the video tho.
I truly hope most Americans think like you do. From our perspective in Canada, you guys are making yourself out to be a bunch of bloodthirsty war-mongerers. Calling people 'American' in Canada is seen as an insult. I remember back in the 90's, people wouldn't mind. Nowadays, nobody wants to be called an American.
No, it has nothing to do with age.
***** Most Americans under the age 35 see every war that the U.S. has been in in the last 40 years as illegitimate and illegal under the laws of our land. So what are you referring to, I'm curious?
*****
I'll be honest; I think it does. The more racist people I've met were in their 50's and 60's. People around my age group (late teens to early 20's) are also racist but only to offend people. They don't truly believe blacks/asians are a different race from us.
***** His not alone, I'm American and dont like that we are at war.
Eyes rolling at Vancouver and Toronto
In Canada our sense of humour is different too, a lot of tongue in cheek and teasing...hopefully we don't take ourselves too seriosly😋
I hate it so much when an American person asks me if I speak Canadian... U.U
Just don't stoop to their level,they are to stupid to understand
I hate it so much wen ppl in general asks me if i speak chinese 😓😓
Agreed! :P I say yes then I say Inukshuk lol
Alma Yena hahaha I can't help but notice ur Taehyung profile pic xD
applegirljr LOL obviously.
I have nothing against this lady from Vancouver, but uh, all of her perceptions of 'Canadian Asians' are solely Vancouver 'styled' Asians. which i find a big trend from anyone from Vancouver, where they are consulted to inquired about 'Canadian-ness' (which mind you is ridiculously complicated in the first place and varies from province to province), but then shines a light on a very narrow aspect of Canada as a whole which is reflective of their experiences living in Vancouver. I know its not the intention of these lovely peeps in this video to suggest that what they are saying is solely what you should take as truth and 100% correct. but it irks me mildly when the so called 'Canadian representatives' in these comparison types videos don't think about the rest of the country, or even the rest of their Province.
I come from Toronto, so i have to constantly be self-aware and remind myself that while my city is incredibly diverse, that isn't the same for Northern Ontario, and though other large cities are also diverse the types of ethnicities vary vastly across the country; including Vancouver. I think self awareness and research is important because other wise it seems like your living in a different country and viewers come to feel that they definitely cannot relate to you.
+taxidermyrampage talk* not inquired
Her account of Vancouver isn't even accurate, nevermind the entire country.
+taxidermyrampage Your comment is far better than the video.....which, to be fair, wasn't hard to top.
I live in Vancomycin but my brother lives in Toronto every time I visit, Central island and CN tower are a must go
+Yan Qin *Vancouver
Hongers, Namers and Buckies I split a gut those were funny. Thanks you guys rock. I gotta move outa Texas to much football.
Black Enslavement in Canada
In early Canada, the enslavement of African peoples was a legal instrument that helped fuel colonial economic enterprise. Enslavement was introduced by French colonists in New France in the early 1600s, and lasted until it was abolished throughout British North America in 1834.
Dont forget child slavery in the early 19th century to the early 20th century. As well as the white washing of indigenous culture , which sadly lasted a lot longer. The catholic church and canadian government imposed laws that caused 100's of thousands ( if not millions) of indigenous people to be shoved into residential schools where they were commonly beaten, raped, and treated as less than human. They last residential school for indigenous people didn't closed until 1996.
From a canadian .
Between 1671 and 1834, New France had 4200 slaves. They were mostly house slaves for the rich. It wasn't exactly a big economic concern.
And the residential schools weren't child slavery, they were attempted cultural genocide.
As a country, a nation, Canada did NOT have slavery as the US did. The slavery that existed before 1867 (when Canada became a country) was under the governments of France and Great Britain. Canada's own shame comes from how horrendously we have treated our indigenous peoples.
That we continue to ignore incredible poverty and unlivable conditions for our First People is our shame. So many reserves with no drinking water because of industry. Greedy government plowing through treaties to lay pipelines that will destroy Native lands. Yeah....Canada is so righteous.
it actually really pissed me off when she said here really aren't and black ppl. should i be rude back and say "i thought asian's are smart" know your Canadian history!
Overall, I feel growing up Filipino in Canada that I didn't feel segregated due to my race. Although, I've had a lot of confused looks on people guessing my ethnicity (Mexican? Aboroginal?).
#8 - I always felt like "Nammer" and "Honger" were just Vancouver slang. I didn't know it applied to all of Canada.
#1 - Canada does have some history of discrimination against Asian ethnicities in the past. The Komagata Maru incident, the Chinese Head Tax, and the emprisonment of Japanese-Canadian citizens in camps during WWII are examples of this. Generally, Canadians want to be embracing of all cultures, but we're not any less guilty of racism from time to time.
theres alot of misinformation about this. i love making canada look great and all but there are obvious fact that have not been told like the chinese slavery and racism in the west and much more things and there are kkk members here and there last time i heard there was a group in B.C etc
This video is hilarious, and I can definitely relate to many points since I am also an asian from Vancouver. There is one thing that really bugs me though.
I know that they're making generalizations, but I find it ill-informed and disrespectful to say that Canadian history is not racist like American history. There has been a shit ton of racism committed against aboriginals (like forcing them into residential schools), and also against the Chinese and Japanese, among other cultures. Just putting that out there!
Yep there was slavery and segregation, we just don't talk about it😂
Loved it.
Canada IS better than America, i was born in Ontario and raised in Boston, but I visit Canada every summer. I am in Canada right now and i can honestly say Canada is much better to be raised in. From the people being nicer, to an $11 minimum wage, i think Canada is a lot better.
It's only 11$ in certain provinces, it's 10 where I'm from
I live in America and in public most of the people seem pretty nice, I've had a lot of awesome teachers too. There was a lady who paid for my sisters coffee(bill that didn't have enough change) and a guy who returned cash that fell out of my mom's purse(my mom wasn't paying attention so he could've kept it).What's your version of "nice"?
No country is better than another.
Seattle has a minimum wage of 15$ an hour. So, Seattle is better than the whole country of Canada.
Wow that was easy.
Well said
4:49 - yes there was, underground railroad
4:59 - read up on Africville, Nova Scotia and Dresden, Ontario
4:53 - Stephen Harper!! Lol
Coming from an "African-Canadian".
Canada is ofcourse less "racist", but only overtly, it's still racist but moreso covertly.
And It's just major cities like Tdot, MTL and VanCity that are multicultural, other parts farther upnorth and in other provinces are VERY racist!
Like, I would never think of going to newfoundland!
You're right about the racism - it's not really directed towards African-Canadians - it's the First Nations people that have really suffered
I was going to comment about the railroads. My ancestors had to pay a head tax to get into Canada and were essentially "slaves" for all intents and purposes. Thanks for being so knowledgable and sharing this!
***** Also there are/were KKK in Canada but I think some of them are undercover. They are located in Georgetown
Gordon Jackson Yes the natives here really suffered. However it seems like they are still suffering though. Some people act as if they are no longer relevant or existent in this country.
***** I live in northern alberta and it isn't very racist...
😆 love y'all lmfaoo
bruh, look at this dude, no segregation? Yall just finna forget the trans-Canada railroad?
You guys should have brought up America's Best Dance Crew! lol so many Asian-American hip hop dancers...
Jabawockeez, Kaba Modern, Quest Crew, Poreotics, the list goes on...
I live in Minnesota and I'm Korean.. I would gladly walk from my town north to get to Canada if all of this is mostly true.
they got the wrong info on not being in Wars ,, Canada played a very large role in Korea , in fact a battle called the Kapyon Valley in which the Canadians were in, was known as the turning point to the War, Afghanistan Canada had the 3rd biggest combat role over 44 thousand Canadians served during that conflict ,, THe 1st Gulf war Canada was involved,,, and now Iraq .,, Also Vancouver has a large Korean population .not just Chinese and Filipinos .,,
Oh, I know that part. Honestly would you think a Korean wouldn't know who participated in their own war. I'm referring to the the tolerant part. Even though i live around countless examples of 'Minnesota Nice' around me I've always had been subjected to a little racism, sometimes intentional sometimes not. Canada also seems interesting to me because the culture seems to be reflected highly in Minnesota especially the part I live in.
Jon Marlow Yeah I would say there's less racism. The high-school im going to is easy 30% Asians and around 5% Koreans. Im yet to speak to a person that's ready to say they have a problem with Asians. Vancouver has a huge Asian population too.
HeavyMecha alberta ain't cheap either. Oil boom droves everything up.
Jon Marlow
I tend to think of Minnesota as "the state of America that could pretty much be the 11th province of Canada". I don't know why. I doubt we're planning an invasion ^_^
very fun , specially the theory about nammers and buckeys
"Canada! Freedom! And maple leaves!" - epic
When you said Mienh & Hmong I was like whoa. He knows about us? Lol that's why I'm subscribed to ya! Thumbs up!
ShesBeyondBeauty Most people who have seen Gran Torino now know about Hmong.
Yoo Suk Dong LOL that's what I was thinking
Not that small, plz do your research. We don't need to have a country to be big. We are all over the world. Mainly in USA though.
I was expecting a picture of Kris(EXO) or Henry(SUJU)...anyone other kpop fans thought so too?
Meeeeeee. ^~^
Me too!!! I was looking for Kris, Henry, G.NA, and Tablo. But I guess they are not in to K-Pop like that.
Yehet
I was hoping for kris (Exo) and henry (SUJU), too :P
Chicken is not my style
And another point. You'll find many Vietnamese, Laotians and Cambodians in Québec. Mostly descendants of boat people that were refugees here. The language played a big part, of course. But also, Québec politicians at the time put a lot of pressure on the federal gvt to give them shelter. :)
Lmaoooo my korean friend Kenneth is always cussing in Spanish frequently in Cali 😂
this is probably the first video I've seen where Indians and other south Asians are called "asian"
Well they're from Asia..
+scuba yeah I know but not many other videos seem to think so 😂
+scuba So are Russians...
+Aman Sharma in canada they're just asian
DTF GILF really, I live in Canada and I think it would be weird for someone to call me asian..
I think they normally call us south asians here
"No one thinks of Canada"
Hahahahaha, why is this true.
Hetalia: Who's Canada?
I think of it. I don't want to visit america, I want to visit canada. wait... does that make me 'no one'?
Steph Monk But when someone talks of North America, they normally say "America"
Jennifer Liu yeah I know, but almost everyone I've met doesn't understand that, so I just treat it as the US to simplify it for them... does that just confuse people more?
Jennifer Liu in the English speaking world, we say America to refer to the united states. North and South America are two different continents.
i dont think Canadians want to be known as Americans.
This resonates a lot with me. I grew up in Victoria and about 1/3 of my high school were Asian and there were only like 5 black students.
2:27 dang almost spitted out my egg fried rice. LMAO
