Time to put brakes on Vancouver's growth

[Echowinds]

It's actually rather obvious that different ethnic groups tend to stick with people of their own ethnicity though, even for some second generations. There's a bit of difference in core cultural values, and there's also a sort of familiarity/nostalgia when one communicates in their native tongue (i.e. not English). There's a sort of invisible barrier between different ethnic groups which extend beyond the relationship between visible minorities and Caucasians. In fact, I believe that minorities tend to distrust other minority groups even more so than white Canadians. In this situation, even if most people actually do not harbour ill-thoughts on others, they will rarely go out of their way to talk to others outside of their own group. Even within an ethnic group, there's also additional social cleavages in relation to regions, such as people from mainland China and Taiwan. People just don't relate themselves to others when others are perceivably a lot different than themselves (unfortunately, even physical attributes matters).
