- Abstract: We investigate discrimination experiences of (1) immigrants and racialized individuals, (2) Indigenous peoples, and (3) comparison White non‐immigrants in nine regions of Southwestern Ontario containing small‐ and mid‐sized communities. For each region, representative samples of the three groups were recruited to complete online surveys. In most regions, over 80 percent of Indigenous peoples reported experiencing discrimination in the past 3 years, and in more than half of the regions, over 60 percent of immigrants and racialized individuals did so. Indigenous peoples, immigrants and racialized individuals were most likely to experience discrimination in employment settings and in a variety of public settings, and were most likely to attribute this discrimination to racial and ethnocultural factors, and for Indigenous peoples also their Indigenous identity. Immigrants and racialized individuals who had experienced discrimination generally reported a lower sense of belonging and welcome in their communities. This association was weaker for Indigenous peoples. The findings provide new insight into discrimination experienced by Indigenous peoples, immigrants and racialized individuals in small and mid‐sized Canadian communities, and are critical to creating and implementing effective anti‐racism and anti‐discrimination strategies.

RÉSUMÉ: Nous examinons les expériences de discrimination 1) des personnes immigrantes et racisées, et 2) des Autochtones. Ensuite nous les comparons avec 3) les Blancs non‐immigrants, dans neuf régions du sud‐ouest de l'Ontario ayant des petites et moyennes collectivités. Pour chaque région, des échantillons représentatifs des trois groupes ont été recrutés pour remplir un sondage en ligne. Dans la plupart des régions, plus de 80% des Autochtones ont indiqué avoir vécu de la discrimination dans les trois dernières années; et dans plus de la moitié des régions, plus de 60% des personnes immigrantes et racisées ont aussi subi de la discrimination. Les Autochtones ainsi que les personnes immigrantes et racisées avaient plus de chances de vivre de la discrimination dans un contexte professionnel et dans une variété de lieux publics, et ils avaient plus de chances d'attribuer cette discrimination à des facteurs raciaux et ethnoculturels, et pour les Autochtones à leur identité autochtone également. Les personnes immigrantes et racisées confrontées à de la discrimination ont indiqué en général un plus faible sentiment d'appartenance et d'accueil dans leurs collectivités. Cette association n'était pas aussi prononcée pour les Autchtones. Les résultats offrent une nouvelle perspective sur la discrimination vécue par les Autochtones, les immigrants et les personnes racisées dans les petites et moyennes collectivités canadiennes. Il est essentiel de les prendre en compte pour élaborer et mettre en œuvre des stratégies efficaces de lutte contre le racisme et les discriminations. … (more)
