Don’t be a bystander, racists attacks often happen in front of others, and often bystanders don't intervene because they don’t know how to. Hollaback offers additional resources to empower bystanders to safely intervene. https://www.ihollaback.org/bystander-resources/ The global COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to a rash of anti-Asian, or more specifically anti-Chinese, racist incidents. According to the Vancouver Police Department, reported incidences of anti-Asian hate cr...imes have significantly increased since the start of 2020, when compared to the previous years. Long before COVID-19 became an everyday term, the Canadian Race Relations Foundation noted that hate crime remains a persistent problem in Canada. Hate crimes are motivated, in whole or in part, by the suspect’s hate, bias or prejudice towards an identifiable group based on, real or perceived, race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation or any other similar factor. Hate crimes contribute to disunity in society, compromise democratic values, and maintain inequality. They send an explicit message that entire groups of citizens are unworthy of respect, lack redeeming characteristics and are worthy of contempt.
