- ficklepickle 6y agoI do not know what that has to do with the comment you replied to. The second part is false. As the only Vancouverite on duty here on HN at this hour, I suppose it is my duty to correct you. When people say Vancouver, they are often referring to the metro region. 49.3% are of European ethnic origin[0], with the remainder a broad mix. There certainly is a large Chinese population. We have the second-largest Chinatown in N. America, after SF. We have a lot of Cantonese speakers here. There was a Chinese-focused ride hailing service that flew under the radar back when Uber/Lyft weren't permitted. It feels like a separate world sometimes. I'd like to learn Cantonese and/or Mandarin, just so I could peek into it.
