Blacks viewed least negatively in Canada compared to others, whites are the least racist while the coloured (no surprise) are the most racist

Immigrants and visible minorities also have biases, national poll finds

The poll by Leger for the Association for Canadian Studies challenges the view that prejudice follows a simple majority vs. minority pattern

Immigrants and visible minorities have negative views of other groups in Canada at similar, and sometimes higher, rates as the general Canadian population, a new survey has found.

The poll by Leger for the Association for Canadian Studies challenges the conventional view that prejudice in Canada follows a simple “majority vs. minority” pattern, revealing that negative sentiment is more widespread and complex. The survey, which was conducted ahead of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on March 21, suggests that prejudice exists across multiple demographic groups and varies by factors such as age, language and immigration status.

Jack Jedwab, president and CEO of the Association for Canadian Studies, says these results challenge how policy-makers and the public discuss discrimination.

“Too often, we assume that those who experience prejudice do not express it themselves, but the data show a more complicated reality,” he said. “If we truly want to address discrimination, we need to move beyond the idea that prejudice is always about a dominant majority versus a marginalized minority.”

The survey found that overall, Arab Canadians face the highest levels of negative sentiment, with 26 per cent of respondents reporting unfavourable views of them. Black Canadians were viewed the least negatively at 11 per cent, while 14 per cent expressed negative views of Jewish and Indigenous Canadians, and 15 per cent for Chinese Canadians.

The results also highlight that while racial and religious minorities continue to be the primary targets of prejudice, negative sentiment is not limited to one group expressing bias toward another. It is expressed across multiple ethnic and racial groups.

Twenty-two per cent of visible minorities and 20 per cent of immigrants held negative views of Jewish Canadians, compared to 11 per cent of “not visible minorities” and 12 per cent of non-immigrants.

Seventeen per cent of visible minorities and 15 per cent of immigrants expressed negative views of Indigenous people, compared to 14 per cent each for not visible minorities and non-immigrants.

For Black people, 19 per cent of visible minorities and 16 per cent of immigrants expressed negative views, compared to nine per cent of not visible minorities and 10 per cent of non-immigrants.

Chinese people were viewed negatively by 19 per cent each of visible minorities and immigrants, compared to 11 per cent of not visible minorities and 14 per cent of non-immigrants.

Arabs were the only group viewed similarly by the four categories. For immigrants and not visible minorities, 27 per cent had unfavourable views and it was one per cent lower for not immigrants and visible minorities.

Additionally, 26 per cent of South Asians held negative views of Arabs, while the same percentage of Arabs expressed negative views of South Asians.

Jedwab said these findings demonstrate that prejudice is not limited to one group targeting another, but rather exists in complex, intersecting ways across Canadian society.

“Social tensions are often framed as ‘them vs. us,’ assuming that people instinctively know who ‘them’ and ‘us’ refer to,” he said. “But the reality is much more complicated.”

The study also examined views on religion and found Islam is viewed significantly more negatively than Christianity and Judaism. Nearly half of respondents (49 per cent) reported a negative view of Islam, compared to 27 per cent for Christianity and 25 per cent for Judaism.

The study found a strong link between religious prejudice and ethnic bias.

A majority of Canadians who hold very negative views of Islam also hold negative views of Arab Canadians (62 per cent). The same is true for Jews. Of those who hold very negative views of the religion, 65 per cent have negative views of Jews.

Jedwab warned that if policymakers and institutions continue relying on outdated assumptions about prejudice, efforts to promote equity and inclusion may be ineffective.

“As we grow more diverse, our approach to inclusion must also evolve,” he said. “Otherwise, terms like ‘diversity’ and ‘equity’ risk becoming empty slogans rather than meaningful commitments to social progress.

The online Leger poll surveyed 1,539 Canadians on March 1 and 2. A margin of error cannot be calculated for an online poll, but a probability sample of this size would yield a margin of error plus or minus 2.5 per cent, 19 times out of 20.

I wonder why they didn't include South Asian data.

But yes, a lot of people dislike Arabs and it was a mistake for Somalis to heavily involve themselves with Palestinian protests. I’m still embarrassed thinking about the family of the minister of international development publishing an open letter against him because he didn’t comment on Palestine. Or the Somali guy who exposed another Somali for working at Lockheed Martin even tho no arabs did the same for the arabs that work there. A lot of Somalis need to wake up and dissociate themselves from arab related movements

Why the natives?

 

[Garaad Awal]

Why the natives?

Because they murder people in provinces they have a sizable population in (usually stabbing), they are the majority of crackheads in certain provinces and their women tend to sell themselves.

This seems to be the fate of all defeated peoples. It's depressing

Native Americans have a high crime rate in the US as well only difference is that there isolated from the rest of the country completely invisible to everyone

They live on these reservations miles away from the suburbs in the middle of nowhere tons of gold and oil under here feet but they can’t access it

That shit was wild . I promise you it was a jobless Somali dude who went on linkedin and went thru every employer he could find online and blindly posted the first Somali guy he saw. Ceeb wayee.

Also There’s a high chance Ahmed Hussen could win again if he’s still running for MP. They basically cut famiky ties to take him down and he’ll most likely win again. A lot of people crashed out hard.

I think @repo lives in America where the Indian population in his city is only like 1% or less and work in tech jobs and are forced to integrate. They are likely very educated Hindus to, not Sikhs. Americans live on another planet when it comes to Indians.

The South Asians in the uk came like 60 years ago , they are integrated, the ones in Canada are Sikhs who came as fake students for the intent of getting work permits/citizenship, they have taken over the minimum wage jobs and hire only their people, they have really destroyed Canada.
