  • Black Canadians, Caribbean Canadians and African Canadians are designations used for people of Black African descent who reside in Canada. The terms are used by and of Canadian citizens who trace their ancestry back to people who were indigenous to Sub-Saharan Africa. The majority have relatively recent origins in the Caribbean, while some trace their lineage to the first slaves brought by British and French colonists to the mainland of North America. A minority of the population have recent African origin. Many Canadians identify as Black even though they may have multi-ethnic ancestries. Blacks and other Canadians often draw a distinction between those of Caribbean ancestry and those of African descent, which sometimes results in controversy around the terms used to label and identify the Black community. Unlike in the United States, where African American is the most widely accepted term, Blacks of Caribbean origin in Canada largely reject the term African Canadian as an elision of their Caribbean heritage. Black Canadians form the third largest visible minority group in Canada, after South Asian and Chinese people.
  • Als Afro-Kanadier werden alle Einwohner Kanadas bezeichnet, die zumindest teilweise schwarzafrikanischer Abstammung sind. Die Mehrheit der schwarzen Kanadier sind Nachfahren der im 19. Jahrhundert aus den USA geflüchteten Sklaven. Andere Angehörige dieser Minderheit immigrierten im 20. Jahrhundert aus der Karibik und Afrika ins Land. Im Jahre 2001 waren 2 % aller Kanadier Schwarze. Etwa 78 % der Schwarzen leben in den Städten Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver und Halifax.
