UBC’s National Forum on Anti-Asian Racism: How does racism in the past relate to the present and future?

To raise awareness of the two-day National Forum on Anti-Asian Racism in Canada on June 10 and 11, UBC has created a series of videos where prominent Asian Canadians and allies share their perspectives on anti-Asian racism. 

Author, activist, and historian Wayde Compton reflects on the patterns of racism and how we can disrupt the cycle. 

We recognize that in a settler colonial state like Canada, systemic racism is deeply rooted in every system of this country. We each have an active role to play in working against oppression and towards equality, and finding ways to elevate historically and systemically marginalized groups.
