Document Summary
Canadian-first - mixed race self-identification and canadian belonging: paragg. You walk into a room full of strangers, and all they see is a brown person. And then they think that you"re the exotic person, so they want to know all about your race and stuff. But then it"s almost anti-climatic when you"re saying well, i"m canadian. People do not read her as canadian because she is racialized as non-white, and that they in turn expect and demand an explanation of her difference from mainstream conceptions of who is canadian . In 2006, 10. 1 million people of the canadian population reported canadian . Statistics canada discouraged the use of canadian as an ethnic origin on census reporting because of concerns over confusion between citizenship and ancestry reporting. 1981 census was the first to supply a write-in box in addition to a check-off list of ethnic groups, enabling the reporting of multiple ethnicities for the first time.
