Top TDSB Students

Thanks for somehow managing to make this student's success incredibly awkward and embarrassing for you, I guess.
Strange. Based on the article in the Star half of the top 8 are white.
The world must seem so much simpler in sky's world of racial stereotypes.

Based on the CTV NEWS video clip I saw, they look Asian to me with one exception.
Why you always so rude? Were you never taught proper manners growing up?

Why are you always pushing racial stereotypes?
I have heard of looking at the world through "rose" colored glasses. Obviously you are viewing this "news worthy" story through "Asian" coloured glasses. Get your facts straight, lol.
I'm looking forward to the stats from the Catholic system. Usually they produce the top students overall. Hope they never merge the Catholic schools with the other, it would be like "pissing in the soup".
Why are people always picking on SkyRider for saying the obvious?
It is true the top 8 is half white and the other half is ethnic Chinese, but is the City of Toronto half Chinese? Or more like UofT, a well known Chinese school?
Frankly speaking, they probably should cease and desist publicizing this list. Before you know it, they will be clamouring for more diversity. Even thought the current make up of this top 8, has diversity, but that is not diversity.
:hippie:

The answer is simple. There are a few really stupid and rude people on the Board.
That is only the top 8. I wouldn't be surprised if the top 100 or top 1,000 are dominated by Asians. BTW: I saw a video clip of an engineering class a while back. I thought it was at a university in the PRC. It was actually at the U of T.
Asia is a big continent is Jason indian, Chinese etc? Why did SR lump them all together?!!???
As wonderful as it was..... how many Asians have positions of power in Canada? When they crack that glass ceiling I'll be more impressed.
Academic performance is only part of the equation for extreme success.

The percentage of Chinese in Canada (the Asian group most often overrepresented in academics) is small at 4%.

It wouldn't surprise me if Chinese Canadians hold more than 4% of 'positions of power' in Ontario and Vancouver where most Chinese Canadians are concentrated.
I think Jason and the others in the video are ethnic Chinese but I wasn't sure so I said Asian. Also, in previous years East Indians were among the top graduates. Of course, if I said Chinese, somebody will probably say why did I exclude East Indians or Koreans, etc.
Bottom line, we should be happy that a small visible minority group is enjoying such high academic success. I would not be surprised if many of these students are just one generation removed from "FOB".
"Tiger Moms" rule!

That's far less impressive than you are trying to make it sound because you are talking about small pockets in a large country. Even in those pockets I question how many Chinese CEOs, politicians etc you'll find.
Based on the photo from the TDSB you provided you could have said east Asian I didn't notice any brown students in the photo.
With all the Asian bashing on this Board I thought it would be nice to say something nice about Asians. Boy, was I wrong. Please forgive me. I'll never do it again.
