Saying something like we are "multi-cultural" at UofT is a bit like saying we are "homo sapiens". I can't think of any organization at UofT that isn't multi-cultural; varsity sports team, student politics, or fraternity/sorority. Although there are exceptions - varsity: fencing (last I check both members are white), student politics: ethnic/cultural socities (inherently a little exclusive), fraternity/sorority: Alpha Phi Alpha or Alpha Epsilon Pi (both recruit specfic ethnic/religious members).
Yeah, but how many of the above mentioned organizations, other than "ethnic" clubs have members that have recently arrived or came to Canada after say, age 12? GLOs, while multi-cultural, certainly don't have too many "new Canadians" as members. I know a girl, who is CBC (Canadian BOrn Chinese) like myself who said that GLOs are "for white people" after I told her that I intended to AI.
