During the pandemic, numerous concerns and reports have chronicled and raised concerns about the rise in hate crimes, particularly those directed against people who appear to be Chinese, East Asian, or Southeast Asian.
In addition, Indigenous community members in B.C. have also experienced COVID-19-related racism.
The Vancouver Police Department has previously reported a 717-percent increase in anti-Asian hate crime cases from 2019 to 2020, and now Burnaby RCMP are reporting a similar trend.
