  • A lot of Canadians can be bothered by it. I’ve seen them bothered by it. It’s sorta cute.

    However, I’m ethnically Chinese (born in UK) and the ongoing joke is how Asians (Orientals if you’re from the UK) hate being confused for one another as well.

    Also, not gonna lie, I’ve confused Taiwanese/Chinese/Japanese/Korean/what-have-you people before. However, I don’t get called racist because I’m East-Asian :P

    Here’s the deal. I don’t care … people are rarely ever doing it to get a rise out of you. Most of the time, these are conversation starters. Also, I’m a Chinese-Brit that was confused for being Japanese growing up. Then I moved to Canada and when I said I grew up in London. They all thought I meant London Ontario because apparently London England didn’t exist. Then I moved back to Canada and they all thought I was American.



  • I don’t think it’s super easy on an individual basis. I think for regular people it’ll be a really difficult transition. However, given the solutions we’re coming up with, and with the effects we’re having on the environment … it’s definitely easier relatively speaking.

    I think that even cutting meat out a few days a week or going vegetarian than full-blown vegan would have a great effect too. Probably both on health and the environment.
