    Check again, L2 is exclusively European (even though rare):

    L-L595 is found only in Europe from Ireland, Iberian Peninsula and Sardinia to Eastern Europe

    Have you seen these maps?:

    https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...=1#post4777196

    But they are about languages, and I guess that BC-born Asians speak English.

    And East Indies have mostly Mongoloid-looking people (plus some Negritos).

    **Why are they counted as South Asians?:

    south east Asians/ indo-pacific/ east indies are ''very different people'' from north east Asians & desi indian/south asian. we should not be lumped together..

    Maybe some of them are actually Asian-looking First Nations.

    Why is there so much racism against First Nations in Canada?:

    Trust me. It’s easy to tell the difference. There’s a lot of cultural cues as well.

    Maybe you see so many Asians because you hang around places where Asians are overrepresented for one reason or another.

    So I don't know why do you think that Asians are more numerous than they really are.

    I guess this is just a troll thread?
