What it feels like to be racially profiled in Canada
Three black Canadians describe their encounters with police.


We hear from three black Canadians—Freddie James, Christien Levien, and Amadeus Marquez—about encounters they've had with the police. "They were saying, 'We're looking for someone who fits your description'", Amadeus told Out in the Open. "In my head I always think, 'what, between 4'7 and 6'8, black, between 50 and 250 pounds, wearing clothes?' Is that the description you're looking for? Because I can't fit a description every time I get stopped."
