Linguistic Discrimination Against Immigrants in Canada

Hi,

I really enjoyed reading your article and I think you did a good job explaining linguistic Discrimination. One comment I have is that under your subheading "females" it doesn't really address how their sex affected the hiring process - aside from the study being conducted on women there isn't much information as to how the intersection of being female AND having an accent affected the hiring process. If you could find for information on why immigrant women were treated differently than immigrant men I think it would help a lot! I would also maybe avoid the repetition of "According to Statistics Canada" and just say it once and reference it to the statistics link at the bottom of the page to avoid it sounding redundant.

Finally I think you could add a portion on ethnocentrism and how it plays a role and perhaps how the race of immigrants has an effect - are white people with an accent more likely to be accepted than minorities with accents?

Hope this helps!
