It's worth pointing out that the survey in the Black Experience Project didn't get a random sample of Black Canadians, and it also didn't collect any numbers to compare the responses to. That is, the BEP's report doesn't tell us how Canadians of other ethnicities report their experience of microaggressions; nor does it tell us how Black Canadians' answers to the questions have changed over time.

So the Black Experience Project can collect some interesting qualitative data and highlight perceived problems. In particular, the interview responses can give us a glimpse of *how* racism is felt by Black people to work.

But the BEP can't give us a very clear picture of how widespread racism is, given both the lack of representativeness and the lack of any comparison between groups or over time.
