would you prefer whites and/or blacks? :grumble:
Basically, at that time (I think) i just wanted to know that out of the asians who visited this site who was of CHN/JPN/Korean descent. in hind sight I could have wrote down to the detail who was french, german, kiwi, venezuelan, whatever, but that was too much work. and beside, my aim was just to see who was of those 1st 3 background i just listed before. And plus, i'm sure there will always be some post to the effect of:

"Hey I'm XXXXX, how come you didn't include my background?"

In my neck of the woods, you wouldn't even have known there WAS a Chinese New Year. I guess it would be different in areas where Chinese are numerous :)

We have a huge Chinese population here. I read that outside of China itself, Toronto hosts the largest Chinese New Year Festival. I dunno how correct that is, but after attending it, I'd believe it. I think we also have the largest Chinatown.

No offense, niko, I just thought it was an odd selection. :sweat:

Maybe you shoulda had "non-asian" instead. :sweat:

Yeah, there's a large Chinese population in Sydney too. Just not where I live, an hour south :)

Yea, we're like that regarding the Japanese population. In Brampton we're heavily South Asian.
