The good ole days lol. I think I actually preferred the forum more back then. It's too cliquish now.
I honestly thought your name was Alex, but that does make sense. Mine is my actual name (well, my name is Alejandro which is Spanish for "Alexander") and three random numbers lol.
Nonsense. We Americans know that this is the actual climate of Toronto:
The Chinese people in this university are rude. I get the impression that they think they are better than us.
The problem that we have with Asians is that they have a much higher work ethic than us "regular folk" - meaning that the Asian kids get far higher grades than anyone else (Asian parents will beat their kids senseless if they get anything lower than an "A" grade in any subject). This in turn causes problems for university admissions, since they "crowd out" students of other races. Not very fair, if you ask me.
Thankfully, this being a somewhat progressive era, universities have begun to "handicap" Asian students, to make it harder for them to be admitted to university. It still doesn't help students in those tough STEM classes where the Asian students will blow out the curve for everyone else - I think they need to deal with this too to make things fair (some professors probably already do this, like discounting the top 10% of grades before establishing the curve.)
