  • Straying from the topic of the clip, my previous landlord had all Black, Asian, and Latino residents in one building and across the lawn, all White in another. It scared me. The buildings are identical. I'm glad I don't live there anymore.

  • Poor americans. They can't help but be foaming at the mouth racists. Poor babies.

    Interesting: people here with American names are discriminated against, especially in regard to college entry, housing and employment - and that's regardless of their skin color. Many remain unemployed here (the vast majority do) or they simply return to the US where their "status" is color-based and their paleness puts them at an advantage..

    At least they get their comeuppance in life.

  • @s00shy

    "Discriminating against someone because they have these traits is clearly against our constitution and American values."

    Actually, it isn't against either our Constitution or our American values. Freedom of association is central to liberty, and as Rand Paul said (and was wrongly attacked for saying) the civil rights laws violate your freedom of association.

  • These "tests" never use a similarly ignorant sounding domestic white person accent. If someone called me up for a job and said "They was..." or "I seen..." he's not being considered. I'm not going to listen to hillbilly all day long.

  • @whitecloudification Who's "we"? Don't speak for me ever, racist punkboy. That's "the deal".

  • This morning I got a phone call from employment agency. The agent asks questions like this:

    What is your background?

    What are your salary requirements?

    What is your native language?

    ... tomorrow at 11 o'clock... I will email you directions.... Thank you.

    No email from her:-(

  • Do you have the other parts of this video or is that all? By the way thank you for posting this, very informative.

  • The black guy in the intro sounds black, yes, be he also sounds uneducated because he fails to use the correct words when speaking. There are many blacks who have a "black accent" but also use the correct words, like the lady that was discriminated against. That's bullshit.

  • shit i didnt have to listen to rosa's voice to know she was black, i could tell by just looking at her hair.

  • Here's the deal.....

    have all your bros rebuild all our inner cities that they tore down ,starting with detroit.

    Then mabie we will consider letting you live in our community......mabie.
