Okay racist lady lol.
Personally, I've experienced racism before more than a few times (I'm Asian) with one of my most memorable experiences hearing things from my ex-gf's parents (she was white). "Your English is very good, no accent at all!" and "No, like where are you ACTUALLY from?" in response to my first answer, which was "Calgary".
It's really unfortunate that I won't ever be seen as a Canadian by some people simply because I'm not white (just as the lady in the Cranbrook video said to those guys), even though I was born in small town Alberta and have lived my entire life in Canada.
