In the five years preceding the 2019 General Social Survey (GSS) on Canadians' Safety (Victimization), 3 in 10 (29%) Chinese people aged 15 and older in Canada reported experiencing discrimination or unfair treatment in their daily lives. While this proportion was similar to that of other racialized populations (29%), it was nearly double that of the non-racialized population (16%).
The Juristat article, "Experiences of discrimination in daily life among Chinese people in Canada, and their perceptions of and experiences with the police and the justice system," released today, examines these topics among the Chinese population living in Canada and how findings differ, compared with other racialized populations and the non-racialized population.
