Anti-Asian racism refers to historical and ongoing discrimination, negative stereotyping, and injustice experienced by peoples of Asian heritage, based on others\u2019 assumptions about their ethnicity and nationality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peoples of Asian heritage are subjected to specific overt and subtle racist tropes and stereotypes at individual and systemic levels. These stereotypes lead to their ongoing social, economic, political and cultural marginalization, disadvantage and unequal treatment (Sourced from the website: https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/canadian-heritage\/campaigns\/asian-heritage-month\/anti-asian-racism.html<\/a>, retrieved on October 22, 2022)<\/em>.  

As we begin to engage in this work, it is important that we have a clear understanding and definition as to what we are trying to combat, change or dismantle. Anti-Asian racism shows up in our resources, in our language and in our spaces.  Once we are aware of it, we must name it, notice it and combat it whenever it shows up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also need to be open on our learning journey to the opportunities. As much as we have a responsibility to look for and remove the barriers we know people face, we also need to learn from and celebrate the cultural teachings that are possible \u2026 to amplify both the battles against racism and the celebrations of culture, storytelling and sharing lived experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
