Indigenous people in London experience more discrimination than other minorities, report finds
CBC
Indigenous people in London and Middlesex County experience more discrimination than immigrants and visible minorities, according to a report commissioned by London & Middlesex Local Immigration Partnership (LMLIP), which is associated with the City of London.
Six out of 10 Indigenous respondents said that they have faced discrimination in the region, which is 20 per cent higher than immigrants and visible minorities, over the course of the last three years.
All groups experienced negative outcomes as a result of discrimination, including feeling powerless, discouraged and depressed. Indigenous people "tended to experience more negative emotions and psychological distress," according to Dr. Vicki Esses, one of the authors.
According to the report, Indigenous people tended to face discrimination at school, work (or when applying for work) or in public settings like on transit or at parks.
They felt they were being targeted because of their race and ethnicity.
Immigrants and visible minorities reported facing discrimination in the same places and for some of the same reasons, except they also sometimes felt they were being targeted due to their accents.
The large percentage of discrimination directed at these groups was by white individuals.
