All the white people combined weigh more than all the Asians combined.

This post actually makes me miss Chinatown in DC and the place I used to eat at with bomb-ass noodles and roasted duck.

Nope, that chart is completely accurate.
Go to the Vancouver area in British Columbia and it's actually majority Asian.

Similarly, I live in the Greater Toronto Area. South Asians (i.e India/Pakistan) make up the majority. You only see white people when you go north of Ontario in places like Sudbury or Thunder Bay,

Edit: And keep in mind, that census was done in 2016. It's even more noticeable today than 4 years ago.

So where you live there's only a couple of whites and the streets are full and i mean full of south asians like when you travel in pakistan?
When you go out for shopping this is your streets?

Since it's a public photograph, it doesn't count as doxxing.

Hear me out..

We live on a planet, we live in a world and population and race transcends borders. Just like you wouldn't look at the sales of a console in only the United States; race shouldn't be viewed the same way either.

Globally Asians make up 55% of the worlds population, obviously there are racial sub-groups among this population like Indian's and so on and so forth, but they are afforded minority status all the same. Just as a global comparative black people are 14% of the worlds population. Care to guess what white people are? 16%, so why are white people not viewed as a minority?

I'll be quite literal on this with no offense intended (not meaning to deviate from the OP either); but, aside from a few tanned-skinned Philippine or Thai people...I see most Asians to be whiter than some European-American Caucasians. My wife's Dad is a black man and she's got dark skin. I guess my point is...if most Asians are literally white skinned....then they should be counted in with white Americans and other cultures with white skin. About black people...I've heard many Indian (from India) friends refer to each other as black people. Here's an idea...why not stop looking a human being for skin color and majority/minority. If being a minority is so bad...for me...it feels nice. I'm in a city in Mexico where I'm like the only American citizen (yes, there are other Americans here but mostly for work or tourism) in a population which is like 60% Mexican ethnicity and 39% Indigenous. I'm less than 1% here and they treat me like I was born here. Seriously, awesome people.

A better question would be why men are not considered a minority in the US when there are more women.

 

[Halo is Back]

Minority relative to the country they live in. Asians ARE minorities in the U.S.

so what? racial politics is different in Canada than the US. there's a lot less race baiting up here because political parties aren't as polarized over race. the rural urban divide makes conservatives more a party of white people but they aren't radioactive to nonwhite people in suburbs

Oh sweet summer child, it's only heating up now.

Anywhere there is multiculturalism, there will be societal problems. It's a fact of life.

Once you get out of the US bubble none of the social issues that are currently hotly debated in the US make any sort of sense. People (not saying you) should really travel more. See the world. Realize it's not all about black vs white/"systemic white oppression". Inequality/injustice takes many forms, in ways that can't be reduced to skin color, but also things are far, far from as bad as they seem when you only view the world through the lens of western new sources.

So true.

As a Canadian we are right over the border, and most of the Canadian population live in cities close to the border. There is so much overlap in lifestyles, stores, sports, easy travel etc.....

But the US has a big divide and bickerfest on social issues, healthcare, racial issues, haves and have nots.

A lot of it comes from race baiting, media, low taxes in the US (compared to Canada/Europe) so governments can't fill corporate coffers, such a polar divide on politics where it's a two party system, and every big US city seems to have ghettos..... NY, Chicago, Buffalo, Detroit, Baltimore, Cleveland off the top of my head I've visited. Only big cities I didn't see any (due to me being there briefly for a sales meeting or we stuck to the core for sports were Dallas and Raleigh. So not sure if these places have slums)..... Oh and Vegas I've never seen any as I stick to the touristy strip.

But in sizable Canadian cities I've visited (live in Toronto GTA), Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa, Quebec City, Halifax. The slumminess is like 90% less. No doubt there were some ratty ghetto spots in Vancouver (Hastings Street near Chinatown), but as a whole I've never seen abandoned areas, crumbled homes with boarded up windows and shit like that in Canada. In all the US cities I listed above some of it I saw just driving into the city from the interstate.

The best one was when a bunch of us drove to Chicago 20 years ago (8 hrs from Toronto..... 4 to Detroit, then 4 more to Chicago). We are on the highway and we're like wow? Along the sides of the highways were big apartment buildings that were all boarded up leading to downtown. WTF? Not sure what part of town that was, but some shady shit in plain view leading to downtown.

[Ten_Fold]

Whites def ain’t minority, they are pretty much in everything maybe outside of Cali they are generally the majority, Asians are minorities for sure, outside of like CA, NY, and probably Seattle, you don’t see a whole street full of Asians.

 

[MaestroMike]

Most of this is true but in modern world intelligence is more important than physical aspects and white people and east asians (and A. Jews are the best) have much higher IQ scores than sub saharans. IQ of blacks in america is hogher but only above average people can compete with average of whites and asians.

The average IQ of sub-Saharan Africans: Comments on Wicherts, Dolan, and van der Maas

Wicherts, Dolan, and van der Maas (2009) contend that the average IQ of sub-Saharan Africans is about 80. A critical evaluation of the studies present…

So like ~70 average IQ. And....



This topic is super not popular but science confirmsit so why should i care.

Lol cuz they study 24/7 and don't play sports

Asians may be technically a minority group in America, but in many ways we are treated like we are white because our mere existence is a direct counterpoint to many of the social narratives from the left. When they talk about the need for cultural diversity at companies and colleges, it's never about the lack of Asians in those institutions. In fact, many companies and colleges are now making it harder for Asians to get hired and enrolled in favor of other minority groups. When they talk about income equality between whites and non-whites, they never include Asians in that argument. It's always just whites vs blacks or whites vs hispanics.

 

[Wvrs]

It depends on where you are. I'm white and live in Korea, I'm the minority here. I've experienced some xenophobia and discrimination. But to be honest there's still an element of white privilege due to many historical and social reasons. I'm treated better, on average, than black foreigners here. And, sadly, south-east Asians are treated horrendously.

 

[West Texas CEO]

Why are Asians so racist?

 

[Wvrs]

Why are Asians so racist?

I don't really think they're intentionally racist. Just they're a very homogenous society, changed quickly and still have to catch up. It's mostly the older generations. And it's rarely stuff like "go home!" or racist attacks, mostly stupid generalisations and things like banning foreigners from restaurants because of COVID, or old men saying stuff to a local girl I'm dating because they're pissed she's with a white guy.

But I don't want to misrepresent, they're generally very kind.

 

[Martinski43]

Globally white people are a minority yep. However in the western world white people are mostly in the majority. Western world being Europe and North America (also Australia in some cases). But the population of the western world makes up less than 50% of the worlds population. Maybe not even 20%.. Europe + NA is less than 1B I think.

 

[Jtibh]

53% CHINESE?

i had no idea canada has such a large chinese population

Hahahaha you never been to hongcouver
Good luck finding one white person. Every fucking sign billboard school etc is only in chinese.

 

[V4skunk]

Whites are not classed as a minority because most people have been indoctrinated with marxism and are too fucking dumb to do real research of the facts including the global population.

Cherry picking.
This is a photo of a south asian community event, not a random sample of people in Brampton. Brampton is the most heavily south asian city in the country, and its still only 44% south asian. To say that you need to go up to Sudbury to start seeing white people is an outright lie. White people make up the plurality in neighbouring Mississauga , Vaughan, Toronto, Milton, Georgetown, and Caledon.

South Asians make up 17% of the population of the GTA, not the majority. Asians make up 20% of the Greater Vancouver Area, not the majority. I don't see why you would lie about something so easily verifiable.

Hahahaha you never been to hongcouver

Again, complete bullshit.

What a trite and moronic comment. There will always be societal problems. Do you think everyone will start holding hands and signing kumbaya the moment we get rid off all the brown people?

100% true.

And even funnier when it comes to arguments that Whites are oppressive and the darker your skin the worse it is since everyone is against you - notice how nobody ever brings up East Indian people? They are technically part of the Asian group and seem to do pretty well for themselves, yet most people who see the term Asian assume it's someone from China or Japan.

You'll never see a whiner say Indians are discriminated against even though they got dark skin too. So they try to ignore that part of the Asian demographic stat and hope nobody notices.

SJW: Minorities oppressed

Bob: How can that be? Asians have the best demographic, money and education stats on surveys

SJW: Uhhh..... Well, Asians are close enough to Whites. Their skin colour can be light skinned too, so same bucket

Bob: Then what about Indian people with dark skin, turbans and that forehead dot? They got demographics similar to East Asian people with bumped up stats in surveys?

SJW: Uhhhhh.... Duhhhhh

 

[JordanN]

Cherry picking.

I literally live here dude. Without actually posting photos of what my outside looks like, you seem to ignore that South Asians are still the majority group since there are other ethnicities that also live here (i.e black people, Filipino). That actually does make white people a minority here.

For further proof of this, we have official statistics of what the school demographics are.

White students are only 17% of the school population as of 2018.

You know, I find it funny when those on the left go the extreme mile to deny this stuff, despite them also being the same people who keep track of the most data on this subject. Make up your minds already!

What a trite and moronic comment. There will always be societal problems. Do you think everyone will start holding hands and signing kumbaya the moment we get rid off all the brown people?

What a baiting comment.

Who said the issue was only about "brown people"? Or that anyone wants to "get rid of them"? Maybe you should actually learn the history of some other Asian societies but places like Israel/Palestine are both non-white and there is indeed more widespread violence after 1948 than before when the two cultural groups came in direct conflict with each other.

Sorry but the whole "white racist gotcha" doesn't work here.
