At Queen's, where I did my undergrad, there was a Chinese (not Asian, but Chinese) club for almost every major "mainstream" organization....a Chinese Catholic Students' Club, a Chinese Christian Club, Cantonese Debating Club, etc.....there was also separation (for the most part) between Mandarin speakers and Cantonese speakers. It was freaky....I wasn't involved with any of them.....they seemed to exclude people who didn't read and/or write Chinese.
