Are there really as many Asians in UNSW as everyone says there is? (1 Viewer)

In my experience the UNSW Asians seem more ABC types than FOB ones anyway, for the most part. Particularly true for selective high school kids going into UNSW - they barely know their mando/canto and barely read/write Chinese.

When I went to UNSW I'd expected my mandarin level to get better due to the perception of more fobs. Turns out its like going to a tutoring college all over again (seeing the same ppl from tutoring and other social circles and what not).

I don't really see this as a problem. Most Asian Australians (the teenage to uni ones anyway):
A) Have typical Aussie accents (some even sound Lebanese lol)
B) Do everything White Aussies do (except they give education a higher preference of course)
C) Are bananas........ yellow on the outside and white on the inside?

Well, that's with my experience anyway.
That's because asian does not equal foreign.
