I ask this in the spirit of curiosity and respectful dialogue.
There have been a few threads on PERB querying about East Indian SPs and 3-4 names, very beautiful & pricey, always come up. But that's it... which made me curious.
The 2016 census data on Wikipedia had Metro Vancouver's ethic populations as:
49.3% European ("white")
19.6% Chinese
12% South Asian (the majority of Punjabi origin... let's use "EI" for the sake of this post as the geography includes Pakistan, India, Bangladesh & Sri Lanka)
If one were to do an informal survey of Leolist, the number of SPs posting of European origin seems to be roughly correct, while Chinese SPs seem over-represented, and there are also many Filipino (5.1%), Korean (2.2%), SE Asian (1.9%) & Japanese (1.2%) women advertising who are either in proportion or greater than their population (brackets = census data). The same goes for Latin American (1.4%) and Black (1.2%) women.
One only has to wander through any shopping mall or college campus in our fair city to literally experience whiplash at the number of beautiful EI women... so, proportionally, one would expect to see one EI woman for every 5 white women or 3 Asian women advertising on Leolist/Tryst/etc.... but that is really not the case.
Furthermore, the majority of EI women in the SP age bracket living in Metro Vancouver are likely Canadian-born and, thus, assimilated into the same generic North American culture as any other 2nd generation group. One often sees multi-ethnic groups of friends... so if the local white girls and Canadian-born Asian girls don't have qualms about sex-work, is there some unspoken cultural barrier in the EI community?
I'm guessing there are plenty of EI men on Perb... would any care to offer their insight? Or, anyone else who might have a plausible theory (socio-economic, etc.) about this statistical anomaly?
