Recently, the CCNC-SJ launched an awareness campaign called #FaceRace, sharing the lived experiences of Asian-Canadians during COVID-19. In February, the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) also released a resource for teachers to tackle anti-Asian racism.
Part of the work debunks the “model minority myth” where Asians are perceived to “conform to white norms,” said Jason To, a TDSB teacher and co-author of the anti-Asian racism teaching resource.
Asians are assumed to be hardworking and quiet, laying low to assimilate into society. It’s helped with upward mobility but has come at a cost, according to To. Anti-Asian racism has risen in Toronto schools and in a quest to fit in, students will try not to stand out.
