Project: Incidents and Data

project: But what about the racist incidents that don't trend online Project 1907, a community-led, grassroots data project is trying to fill that gap by collecting data on racist experiences that Asians in Canada can experience everyday, according to CTV. Through an online form, Project 1907 has collected over 120 reports of anti-Asian racism between January and mid-May. Many of them go viral if they're caught on video and shared on social media. Their data shows 20 per cent of reported incidents involved assault like targeted coughing, spitting or physical violence, and 80 per cent of racist incidents were verbal harassment like name-calling, racial slurs, or threats. Most of the reported incidents happened in public places such as sidewalks, grocery stores and transit. Over 70 per cent of respondents identified as women. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
