They fare better than early Jewish immigrants in the US. I live in the Chinese dominant Markham, by my estimate the rate of kids go to gifted program is 4-5 times the provincial average.
2. The Jewish faced huge obstacles too when they first tried to get into law, investment banking, etc. They had to start in niches like corporate proxy fight that the Anglo Saxons thought are not genteel enough to handle. The next generation Chinese professionals will have a leg up. First discrimation while still exist, is less pronounced. Second, China itself starts to play a big economic role globally, which creates demand of professionals familiar with its culture.
3. As for doctors, engineers, etc, well, Asians are already well represented now.
4. Demorgraphically, percentage of Chinese in Canada is much higher than Jews in US. Overt discrimination is political suicide.
And to be clear, I am not against voicing concerns to MaClean's/Star. I am against mob-emailing the same simpleton template. It just shows how we are still used to that one voice propoganda, even when we protest.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
