HISTORY OF RACISM IN CANADA

Because this is a controversial topic, always look carefully at sites on racism, and try to determine who is hosting the site and why.

To search effectively be specific about what you need. For example:

• "Chinese head tax" + Canada
• "racial tension" + black + school  
• "residential school" + "British Columbia"
• "Japanese internment" + "British Columbia"
