Chynagyrl,  I appreaciate your viewpoints. As stated in the original thread, the first generation of immigrants lived in a relatively isolated community ( Chinatown) . They had few interactions with the native people ( Native Americans or Canadians). In consequence, it is hard for the first generation of immigrants to be integrated into the mainstream white community. Cerntainly, it is somewhat understandable that the first generation of Chinese immigrants lack the initiative to join in the mainstream society, since the first generation of Chinese immigrants are largely  influnced by the traditional Chinese culture. Most of them are reticent, a little humble and passive.( my personal opinion). The second generation of Chinese are doing a better job since they grew up in such an exotic culture. Chynagyl, I think you can feel it. As far as I know, your famiy is typical of " Two Generations of Chinese immigrants in Canada".  You possibly got quite well along Canadians and Canadian native culture, but for your parents, when they initially moved to Canadian, they might have a tough time.  When a man was immersed in a totally strange environment, it takes quite a while to be absorbed into the mainstream society.

"I think sometimes male immigrants are not all that comfortable with their social position in a new country." I am in favor of this point. That's why they keep a low-profile.  Thanks for sharing your personal experience![/quote]
