Systemic Racism in Toronto

Written By South Asian Legal Clinic of British Columbia

We’d like to bring your attention to a recent CBC News article:

“An expansive Toronto police report released Wednesday confirms what many racialized people in the city have long said: Black, Indigenous and other diverse groups are disproportionately affected by use of force and strip searches by officers.

In Toronto, Black, South Asian and East/South Asian people were considerably more likely than white people — 1.5 times, 1.6 times and two times, respectively — to have an officer point a firearm at them during an interaction.”
