Yes, ask the white people only. They do represent the whole population after all.

For the record, I am from Vancouver and I like our mascots, especially Miga.

Ultimately,the mascots proved to be a huge success with kids. I initially thought they were not that great but compared to other games in other cities,Vancouver hit it outta the park. The games themselves were impressive. I was pretty anti-olympics as I knew from early on that it would be a huge financial loss for us in BC and that we'd be paying for several more decades. No net benefit economically-speaking. I am proud of our Canadian Athletes and how great they did.

For those of you who don't live in Vancouver, the Asian population is actually a majority, so the designs fit.
