I'm curious who that one UBC prof is claiming to be victims of the "racist" honors programs. Vancouver is like 80% white or Asian (including South Asian) [1]. The disadvantaged groups in California: Latinos and Blacks, make up <3% of Vancouver in 2016. Aborigines similarly make up 3%.

The elephant in the room is that it is mostly moderately wealthy Asians in these classes, but it would be odd to mention that directly. As someone who is neither Asian nor White, I would like there to interact with more Whites, simply because almost all of my peers are Asian as a result of being in these programs. Diversity in Canada is less about a narrative of fixing the past and is more about the fact that diversity in general is cool, so having more Whites also can improve diversity.
