Racism against Chinese-Canadian
now commonplace during Pandemic
Proof
Physical Abuse
Abuse threats are something that
Chinese Canadians are receiving
very often. Sadly, people acting out
these threats are very common.
Even going outside has become
a danger Chinese Canadians.
Survey's showing that 61% of
Chinese Canadians have been
abused because of their race.
Verbal Abuse
Chinese Canadians are receiving
threats and being referred to as
racial slurs for "bringing the virus".
Chinese Canadians are in fear,
as surveys show that 64% of
North Americans believe that
Chinese Canadian kids would
get bullied when school opens
up again.
Consequences
Fear
Chinese Canadians are currently in fear
due to the irrational hate they're
receiving from people because of their
race. This may stop people from going
to school or work trying to avoid these people.
Safety
With all the threats and abuse Chinese
Canadians have been receiving during the
Pandemic, it's pretty dangerous for them
right now. It is a 50/50 if you are going
to be attacked when going outside because
of your ethnicity.
Solutions
Awareness
People need to be more aware of what they
say and the things that they do. Especially
places like the news, where they talk about
topics as sensitive as Covid. When people
hear the news talk about Covid coming from
Asia, the news have to be more specific on it
coming from Asia and not Asian people.
Doing this would make people stop acting
out in fear and think more before their actions.
