Some German friends were living in Vancouver last year so I went up to visit them last summer. We were standing in an overlook.... I think in Stanley Park.....when they pointed to this large enclave of hi-rise bldgs. They said it was a large suburb........Westminister???. They said it was nearly 100% Chinese. 52% do not speak English as their first language. Almost 30% of the city's inhabitants are of Chinese heritage. In 1981, less than 7% of the population belonged to a visible minority group.By 2008, this proportion had grown to 51%. Other significant Asian ethnic groups in Vancouver are South Asian (mostly Punjabi, usually referred to as Indo-Canadian), Filipino, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese, Indonesian, and Cambodians. Despite increases in Latin American immigration to Vancouver in the 1980s and 90s, recent immigration has been comparatively low, and African immigration has been similarly stagnant (3.6% and 3.3% of total immigrant population, respectively.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver
