Non-white canadians, regardless of their social status, experience prejudice and discrimination everyday in what is supposed to be a multicultural society. In canada, socialization teaches us that prejudicial and racist issues are for the indigenous or non-white. Discrimination: the actions or practices of dominant group members that have a harmful impact on members of subordinate groups. In this canada, we talk mainly of ethnicity and statistics canada collects data based on ethnic groups. Ethnic group: a category of people who are distinguished, by others or by themselves, on the basis of cultural or nationality characteristics. Language: country of origin, adherences to a culture.
