Numbers and Racial Data Collection
As anti-Asian racism and the Black Lives Matter movement have dominated conversations about race across Canada, it is timely to examine how the use of data collection can help to better understand hate crimes and racial injustice. Historically, there are a myriad of ways that data and racial categories have legally, politically, and economically served to exclude and discriminate. At the same time, while racialized communities across the nation are left to proactively gather their own hate-crime data as evidence of targeted discrimination and violence, it is important to consider appropriate and adequate ways to resource and collect that information while preventing its improper use now and in the future.
