Montreal for sure is a multi-ethnical city , there's a lot of diversity (and no forced assmilation hehe) but i can't tell if it's more or less comparing to toronto

I'm doing an assignment for one of my courses and we have to use Census Tract Data. It's kind've interesting (better than the BS we had to do last semester...) but yeah, it's cool how they group ppl in a certain area and how it all falls together.

yea they're mostly in Scar now..Chinatown downtown is still more Viettown than anything else ..

and as for Markham and Richmond Hill .. that's where all the HK are now cuz they used to be in Scarb but now have tried to move onto better things and were uprooted by the mainlanders and a lotta south Asians too ..

Time to share the Mainland stories ....
This one time I was in my friends car and were heading north on midland just past finch. We were only going 60km and we had to pass a stopped bus ... as we passed the bus, (green light for us) this mainland chick walk out of nowhere , in front of the bus and my buddy slamms on the breaks and still we put that bitch on her ass. ARGH !!!!!!

While my sister was pregant, she was shopping at the supermarket ... all these mainland chicks rushing and pushing and almost knocked my sister on her ass.

This is why I can't stand MAINLANDERS .... they are just fucked up, rude and annoying !!! Ya not in China anymore ... it's time to change and get use to things in Cananda. It' s cool that your from the mainland but, it's not cool when you think you can do the same shit as back home.

How do you tell a mainlander right off the bat?

Is it facial features, or something about style?

Help out someone who's so Anglo, his mum's English.

This is what you came for.

most mainlanders speak Mandarin (not to be confused with Taiwanese ppl who also speak Mandarin) whereas most HK ppl ie. the ones at Viva, speak Cantonese ..

a lotta mainlanders also look like factory workers and a lot less poshy stylish like their HK counterparts.. (no offense here to anyone, just generalizing).
