Table 1 Definitions of “Ethno-Racial” and “Racialized”
Term | Definition |
|---|---|
Ethno-Racial | Includes persons who are racialized but not First Nations People. Also referred to as “people of colour” or “visible minorities” [4]. |
Racialized | The term racialized person/group refers to what was previously called "ethno-racial or people of colour" and First Nations People. The Ontario Human Rights Commission states: “When it is necessary to describe people collectively, the term “racialized person” or “racialized group” is preferred over "racial minority,” "visible minority", "person of colour" or “non-White” as it expresses race as a social construct rather than as a description based on perceived biological traits” [3, 4]. |
