UBC, UVic etc. (including community colleges) in BC where most of the
Asians reside, will require you to write an essay placement test for
first year English (first year English is a graduation requirement).
There are no exceptions for this exam except for the students who
achieve A in BC grade 12 English provincial exam.
Most Asians would pass the test ,like I did, while I saw many failures
among Canadian students. Increasing the English proficiency etc.
will not kick out Asians... rather help to increase the number of
Asians in the university. Sorry ! If you want to blame for lack
of proficiency in English at university etc., it is your problem. It
is not our problem (immigrants'). Sorry. I was getting one of
the highest score in English at BC high school.
It is your problem. Blame your own race before you start blaming
other races. You are the one who says something and doesn't do
anything what's required while we don't say anything and we do
whatever required.
