mondine is an unknown quantity at this point
I have to agree with you about that.
Here, in British Columbia, and particularly Vancouver, there are a great number of people of Chinese heritage.
Partly, because it is often the case in any city on the west coast of North America; but also many families date back to the time when many immigrated to do the grim and dangerous work of railway-building.
I've worked along-side some of these people, in warehouses, loading docks, and construction site, and without exception, they've had a powerful work ethic, and drive to succeed in whatever they do.

I don't believe in racial stereotypes (good or bad), but this one is pretty well-grounded in experience.
