Abstract

For this qualitative inquiry, 40 South Asian students in a predominantly White Canadian university participated in interviews to investigate how racism is prevalent among peers in the university environment. Differential treatment is evident in the everyday interactions between minority and mainstream students, negatively affecting the overall academic performance of minority students. Interviewed male and female minority students were undergraduates and graduates across disciplines, between 18-24 years of age. Recommendations include more visibility of minority students and cross-cultural activities to challenge the persistence of racism in the university setting.
