How can a school be considered WASPy…

…when it has a very descent sized Asian student population? My alma mater, Queen’s University at Kingston (http://www.queensu.ca) was and still is considered a school for “rich white kids” who were educated at private schools in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal or Vancouver. I don’t know the exact numbers, but I DO know that many Asian students (international and Canadian) go to school there. It may not be as diverse as U of T (University of Toronto), but it sure isn’t “white”. Why would people think of such a school as being “white”? Is it because it isn’t “diverse”?
