Fremont, CA is ~65% Asian of which 29% is Indian and 19% is Chinese.

Mission San Jose High School is 89% Asian. This is about their football program.

Something similar is also happening in schools of Seattle and Dallas suburbs. Indian and Asian families move in and the school football program collapses.

What do you think of this phenomenon from an assimilation perspective?

What do you think of lying by omission in dating?

I’ve been thinking about this lately and I’m curious where people draw the line between privacy and dishonesty in dating.

I was dating this woman for about 2 months and things were honestly going really well. We were seeing each other consistently, getting emotionally closer, talking about future plans, etc. Then one night she opened up and told me she was in massive debt, behind on payments, and dealing with collectors calling her regularly. Her reasoning was basically, “I didn’t lie to you, you just never asked.”

For me financial stability in a partner is very important. So I immediately ended the relationship.

I’m not talking about outright lying. I mean intentionally leaving out information that you know could change how the other person sees the relationship like past relationships, kids, finances, health issues, intentions, still talking to an ex, etc.

I’m curious about how attitudes toward interracial relationships vary across Canada, especially across different communities and generations.

Do your parents or family generally approve of their children marrying someone of a different race? Different religion?

Also, how common are interracial relationships in your social circle (friends, coworkers, community)? Is it something you see often, or still relatively uncommon where you live?

Bonus question: What's the rarest interracial pairing you personally know?
