- Abstract
This article discusses the importance of intersectionality in research on anti-Black racism and healthcare equity in Canada. It highlights that the experiences of anti-Black racism in healthcare are diverse and often overlooked. The article emphasizes the heterogeneity within Canada's Black communities, including differences in ethnicity, language, religion, and immigration experiences. It also explores how intersecting factors such as gender, sexuality, class, and skin tone shape experiences of racism. The article argues that acknowledging this heterogeneity is crucial for developing more equitable healthcare systems and improving health outcomes for Black patients.
