The Socio-Demographics of Prejudice Although ethnic background is the most commonly reported basis for prejudice amongst those saying they were victims there are some variations on the basis of age, region and language. On the basis of age, weight and height are important sources of prejudice notably amongst those between 18 and 24 and 55 and 64. Gender is the most widely reported basis for prejudice in Atlantic Canada and school or work results and language in Quebec. Ethnic background is identified as a source of prejudice by relatively few francophone Canadians who refer to language to a much greater degree. Amongst Quebec Anglophones some 54% said that they were victims of prejudice on the basis of language and 57.5% said they encountered prejudice on that basis more than once over the previous year.
In public spaces ethnic background is the principle source of prejudice; in Schools it’s ethnic background and gender and at work it’s gender and ethnic background
