This cool video made by students of the University of British Columbia (UBC) is a reply to an article, that stirred up a controversy in Canada by talking about certain universities being “too Asian”. Some quotes from the article: “I look Asian but I’m white in all other respects”... “completely whitewashed”... a “banana”... “yet another Asian student who wants to major in math and science and who plays the violin”.

Then on the other hand, there's no major outrage over this... Interesting, isn't it?
What do you think about the video? What do you think about the stereotypes about Caucasians and East Asians mentioned in the video? What do you think about the articles?
Thanks to Bekah, who linked the video on Facebook.
