I was going to comment on the very same thing. We have a large population of successful, ambitious young Asian women working in Vancouver. One works in my office and has spoken at length about her family's expectations for her now that she has reached the ripe old age of 26. They want her to return home, get married and bust out the babies pronto. Strange considering these are the same parents who expected so much from her while she was at university and pressured her to pursue a career in law or dentistry. (She chose public relations instead but has a side hustle as a translator. ) My colleague said that even if she wished to marry (and she doesn't, not yet), she'd be limited to a very narrow selection of men. Those who are equally ambitious and educated have already married and are having children. Those her own age are working overseas and can choose to marry 20-year-olds once they return home. Since she refuses to marry "down" she's decided to make Canada her permanent home and expects to marry a non-Asian. This is one of the reasons why you see so many youngish Asian women (aged 25-32) with white guys here in Vancouver.
