"Whites to become the minority in Metro Vancouver by 2031"

http://www.vancouversun.com/technol...ority+Metro+Vancouver+2031/8177253/story.html

"After being an overwhelming majority in Metro Vancouver up until the 1980s, whites will make up only two out of five residents...

"...ethnic groups in Metro will increasingly concentrate in neighbourhood enclaves, creating a degree of racial segregation paralleled only by blacks and whites in major U.S. cities...

"...only one out of four residents of the region will have grandparents who lived in Canada...

" "There is no European city with anything like this demographic structure, nor will there be in 2031," writes Hiebert, who, as co-director of research and policy forum Metropolis B.C., has travelled the world studying immigration patterns.

"Hiebert's analysis of census data forecasts the largest ethnic group in Metro Vancouver will be Chinese, followed by South Asians, Filipinos, Koreans and West Asians (such as Iranians).

"...Metro Vancouver's so-called ethnic population will grow seven times faster than the combined white and aboriginal population.

"...by 2031 the number of visible minorities (or non-whites) in Metro Vancouver will rise by 1.150 million people; to 59 per cent of the population compared to 41 per cent in 2006.

"...Indeed, Hiebert cites a popular standing joke to describe just how ethnically segregated Metro Vancouver has already become:

"Question: What river separates China and India?

"Answer: the Fraser River (which separates Richmond and Surrey)."

One day, "white" will be a colour.

I've been telling that joke for years. The proper form is "what body of water separates China and India?" Most people will try an ocean first. If you say river, most people will figure out that it's a trick question.

Note to self, a new race called "whites" has been created by the Vancouver Sun...

My take on this is in 2031 it will be easier for Caucasians to find work in Metro Vancouver since we'll be the visible minority, it'll be nice to finally be discriminated against instead of being called racist because I don't agree with the current Immigration Policy.

Is it really accurate to say that whites are now a minority? Are they not just one of many minorities? Or, do the Chinese constitute more than 50% of the population? I can not say for certain, but is there really a majority ethnicity, or just many ethnic (and white, and First Nations)) minorities?

Somebody help me out on this, please.

this is strictly anecdotal and empirical, mike, but looking around in all the major Canadian cities I've visited, people of oriental ethnicity are definitely in the majority. remember oriental includes Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, Mongolian, and probably about 10 other nationalities that we all lump into Chinese

 

[grusse]

so,in 2031 caucasians will be able to play the race card?

they'll've had lots of time watching others do it,lol.
