Statistical analysis reveals that white people do not have an unfair advantage over minorities
Such examples show that in Canada there are still institutional policies that outright discriminate based on race. Yet such examples clearly do not fit the governmental definition of systemic or institutional racism, in which “racialized persons” are put at relative disadvantage.
The white cohort therefore finds itself somewhere in the middle of the pack, so the evidence in favour of the theory that Canada’s institutions are rigged to disfavour visible minorities is indeed slight.Of course, the raw data alone may not mean much. It could be that, for example, Chinese men must be 25 per cent more productive than white men to earn three per cent more, and that Black women earn 10 per cent less than white women despite being equally productive.
In other words, according to the Statistics Canada data, although the Korean and Japanese populations enjoy far higher weekly earnings than the white population, this is accounted for by differences in sociodemographic and employment characteristics . Among the Chinese, however, relatively high earnings are explained by the sociodemographic and employment characteristics present among men, but not among women.
