Between races

I am currently enrolling STATS 370, a financial mathematics course. This course is mainly taken byvChinese where I could only spot few heads with blond hair. Maybe in terms of percentage 80% Chinese, 8% Malay, 5% Indians and the rest are Whites. That is what I assume. Maybe because this is a a curse where most of the students have financial background; a famous course among Chinese. These percentage has actually bring a difference atmosphere in the class. This is from what I observe. A class where hugely populated by Asians (including us) would make the atmosphere kind of blur or passive maybe. Asians hardly ask questions in class or maybe 'bersikap lebih menerima'. Just listen to what the lecturer said and put everything in my mind. Where whites in general would normally raise up their hand and ask question on the spot. That is what I see in MATHS 361 last semester. Student wo normally corrected the lecturer are whites and I could see from the question they brought up in class actually show that their brain is working and they are thinking from many point of view; apart from what we discussed in class. But maybe this is just an observation only
