No, there are international students from England and the UK. Also, had a classmate who was from France.

Not really, there are students from other countries as well. I'm from Macedonia. Though it is true that most of the students are from Asian or Indian background.

I think the reason we like to associate international students with Indians and East Asians is because they stand out in the crowd. A lot of the European and North American international students tend to look a lot like the rest of the crowd, so we don't notice them.

Most of the internationals in my Petroleum course are from the Middle East ( probably sponsored by local corporations or governments)


Why the racism?Does it pain you to say Indian?
I'm curry. I prefer to be labelled curry over Indian, because I'm not Indian.

Then again, you went to SBHS, where there's generally a culture of labelling like that (and everyone is fine with it), so you've got a bit of tough skin when it comes to ethnic 'profiling'. Same with all the Asian jokes/insults, there's really nothing out there at I would find offensive. Just something you're accustomed to.

Than why not Bangladeshi, Nepali, Pakistani or whatever you are? I thought you'd get offended if you got labelled as a "curry".

This, most of my subcontinental friends have no issue with being called curry
