At a recent reptile expo, a friend commented on something I had honestly never noticed. He said, “wow, sure is a lot of white people here…” (He is South Asian/Indian.)

And you know what? He was right. We counted about 8 non-Caucasians in total. (Yes, we made it a game. )

The thing is, I live in a very multicultural city. According to Statistics Canada, the Greater Toronto Area’s visible minorities will make up 63% of the area’s total population by 2031. There are presently over 1.3 Million South Asians alone, out of a total population of 5.9 million (2006).

So… My question to the group is: what ethnicity are you?

I would be interested in learning if my local observations are atypical or more common than would seem statistically plausible. (And if I’m able to disprove my friend’s assertion that “white people are just crazy” that would be great, too! )
