> There are real enclaves in Vancouver So what? Diversity doesn't exclude this. But are you saying it's a BAD thing? > just take a look at Richmond. Lot of shops and restaurants > don't even have signs or menus in English, it's all in Chinese. There was a survey done by the municipal govt because of the Chinese sign controversy. 4% doesn't mean a lot. Vancouver has been home to many immigrant groups. There were Greek "enclaves", Italian "enclaves" and Ukrainian "enclaves" and Chinatown was an early Chinese "enclave". What's different now? It seems that when people say "enclave" it's code for an isolated community that's perceived as a threat to the unity of the host community. I would say THAT definition of enclave doesn't fit here. > I'm not sure if you ever been to UBC or SFU, all the foreign students chill with themselves. Yes, it's understandable. If you and I were in Paris we'd be sticking together a lot and have Canadian flags on our backpacks. > Have you ever seen a white guy identifying himself with a group of Korean foreign students who came here to study and barely speak a word of English? I can't say, but I have seen white people hanging out with Asian Canadians and Canadians of other ethnicities. > Plenty of Asian Canadians see themselves identify as their native ethnicity. Is that a fact? I think many Asian Canadians identify themselves as Canadians but are dismayed that other people don't. > But the difference between Canada and US is that Canada has no melting pot, there is definitely a lack of cohesion and a sense of unity.* This difference is simplistic, overblown. Have you not seen the news of the rift between whites and blacks in the US? Of the discrimination against Muslims? Only recently did they legalize gay marriage but Canada has been united behind the concept for years. > How many times have you seen someone described as Canadian as being non-white in mainstream media?* That is a problem the mainstream media has and is really depressing.
