(Eagle News) — A study in Canada showed that the number of anti-Asian racism reports in the country is actually higher than in the United States, when measured on an Asian per capita basis.
In May 2020, Statistics Canada released a report to show how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the perception of visible minority groups regarding safety within Canada.
The report showed that visible minority participants that perceived race-based attacks and harassment was three times larger than the rest of the population. The increase was most obvious among Asian participants.
According to a 2016 census, one in five Canadians or about 22 percent were designated as belonging to a visible minority group.
