Yea I probably shouldn't have used a quote there. The number ranges from 20% to 50% depending on which part of vancouver you look at. Point is that they aren't a minority there.

Serious question, is 25% really not considered a minority?

As an average across Vancouver, are Chinese really 25%+ of the population?

Assuming your parent meant "not a small minority". I don't have numbers in front of me, but having lived in and near Vancouver most of my life, I wouldn't be surprised if close to that percentage had Chinese origins. Regardless, it's enough people that it's certainly worth candidates' time to consider them.
