@NerdyCanadian but in terms of vancouver as a whole, would asians make up a fair bit of the population? i realize you said parts of vancouver are at least 50% asian, but what about the whole of vancouver?

[NerdyCanadian]

@bbang1989 Parts of Vancouver are at least 50% Asian (specifically, immigrants from Hong Kong.) Many of them do not speak English (or French, which is the other official language of my homeland.) There are numerous groups of immigrants though, everthing from Brazilians to Indians (people from India.) Some of the immigrants more-or-less assimilate but by and large, the Hong Kong/Taiwan/etc people are very racist against anyone who is not Chinese/Taiwanese.
