FREDERICTON — A new survey is shedding light on racism in New Brunswick, finding it has permeated every aspect of society.

The New Brunswick Multicultural Council conducted a survey last year to determine how big a problem racism is in the province.

The survey asked people about their experiences with both systemic and unconscious racism.

“People are willing to acknowledge the unconscious type of racism, you know the unconscious intrusive thoughts or things they don’t have control over they aren’t willing to as much acknowledge the systemic nature of racism and how racism is deeply rooted within our social institutions,” said Husoni Raymond of the New Brunswick Multicultural Council.
