VICTORIA A report released by the Inter-Cultural Association of Greater Victoria (ICA) has revealed some startling numbers on the everyday racism that Black, Indigenous and people of colour (BIPOC) residents experience in Victoria. The report found that 71 per cent of people who identified themselves as BIPOC personally experience some form of racism either daily, weekly or monthly. The types of racism ranges from experiences on public transit, racism in workplaces, online racism or daily microaggressions in common settings such as grocery stores. One survey respondent said that she felt frustrated by teachers or other instructors assuming that she is new to the country because of the way she dresses, even though she is a Canadian citizen.
