Narratives that historicize colonialism are not new. Canadians and our leaders have a long history of denying our settler colonial present.
The media tends to render Asian Americans as either a ‘perpetual foreigner’ or ‘model minority’ – both stereotypes that have been levied in tandem against immigrants from Asia since the 1830s.
Despite millions of free homes built since 1994, spatial inequality in South Africa remains high. A study evaluating a programme to boost rentals in well-located areas found mixed results, however.
Rights-based pressure on China over its treatment of Uyghurs is necessary, but other nations could also present best practices for the ethical treatment of racialized minorities in their own countries.
Like the US, Australia’s ‘massage parlours’ are reliant on the prostitution, fetishisation and trafficking of Asian women.
US culture has long represented Asian American women as sexually seductive – showing how victims’ gender and race cannot be separated when attacked by white male violence.

Racism was an early hallmark of the New Jersey State Police, and remains challenging for police agencies in the 21st century.
