Let me put it this way; if a white guy and a Chinese-Canadian man are standing in the same Calgary business conference, who do you think is more likely to be asked where he is from and why do you think that is? I'm not suggesting anyone has malicious intent when they do these things but you need to try and see it from the other person's point of view.

The people that ask that are going to do it regardless of how many posters are plastered in the university foyer. I guess most of us just see it as unnecessary and trying to avoid confronting the issue directly.
