In my UBC Law class I'd guess there were probably about 20 asians or 10% of the class. It was super duper white. I'd love to see actual numbers though.
^^ This. I just realized that I wasn't clear in my original post that I was comparing UBC Law to the general UBC population. UBC generally --> probably 40% East Asian, 20% South Asian, 40% White. UBC Law --> 80% White (looking), 10% East Asian, 10% misc other.
I say "white looking" because there's a large number of white-skinned students with aboriginal heritage who quite proudly identify as such, along with many other non-visible minorities who are also quite proudly non-WASP. Being a WASP myself I can't really comment on how the experience would have been otherwise, but take what you will from my observations.
ninja edit: I suppose that when I refer to "White Anglo-Saxon Protestants" I should note that practically none of them are practicing. Law students at UBC are overwhelmingly athiest or agnostic, and those that aren't are usually rather quiet about it.
