CFYS Research Fellow Dr Nigel Mantou Lou shares his experience and research on racism during the pandemic
Dr Nigel Mantou Lou shares his experience in Canada and in his research on racism during the pandemic. As a Chinese Canadian himself and a university professor, Dr Nigel Mantou Lou shares that 60 per cent of survey respondents reported that they had changed their routines to avoid confrontations, which is shocking in today's society.
“As the prejudice and discrimination against Chinese Canadians are likely to continue, there are ongoing challenges for research and the community to work together to combat racism, encourage anti-racism reporting and support Asian Canadians’ resilience and recovery from the pandemic,” Lou says. As we move through the pandemic, we must re -balance the scales and lift up all marginalized groups."
