Worries that efforts in the U.S. to limit enrollment of Asian students in top universities may migrate to Canada

Students can carry that narrow scope into university, where they risk alienating their more fun-loving peers. The division is perhaps most extreme at Waterloo, where students have dubbed the MC and DC buildings—the Mathematics & Computer Building and the William G. Davis Computer Research Centre, respectively—“mainland China” and “downtown China,” and where some students told Maclean’s they can go for days without speaking English. Writes one Waterloo mathematics graduate on an online forum: “I once had a tutorial session for the whole class where the TA got frustrated with speaking English and started giving the answer in Mandarin. A lot of the class understood his answer.”

Was this TA me? 

Come on, I lived in Downtow China (DC) for too long!  I wish I had stayed in Mainland China (MC) for a little longer.
