Hello
please vote
I know Mcmaster university has people from all around the world and people living in Canada are originally from other country's as well.


I dont mean to be racist, i just hear people saying waterloo is full of asains, other schools are brown schools and so on.

I will make poll with this so please vote

Thanks

EDIT: Sorry if some people see this as misunderstanding, if u have any concerns tell me so i can make it clear

Asians :( Chinese /Japanese/ Korean/ Malaysia etc.)

Polling won't work to achieve what you want. Not a good enough sample size coming from MI.

Seems to me, McMaster is pretty well mixed. Depending on the faculty you are in, you will see more of one ethnic group than the other. More Oriental Asian in Biology for example.

Why does this matter to you by the way?

it dosent i just thought it was interesting topic

The options in your poll doesn't make much sense. Like what is "Asian"?

You do know you are Asian too right?

I thought people tend to classify Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Malaysia etc as just Chinese?

I've been called Japanese before.

Those people proceeded to bow to me, ask me how Japan is, and ask if their cosplay is 'sugoi desu-ne?'

EDIT: Damn sleep deprivation

One more thing.

You know there is a difference between Race, Ethnic and Nationality right?

Like Caucasian and European are basically the same Race even when you have two different option.

McMaster isn't predominantly any single race, that's probably one of the best things about the school (though for some reason a few of the racial groups do form really tight sub-populations inside Mac)

What if you're white and European?

Seriously, who cares about classifications... why can't we all just be.

Yeah, you're defining 'race' here based on what you think to be suitable outlines.

Race is nothing but a social construct. This thread is pointless. kthxbai.
