UBC student paper prints special colours issue

ShareThisLast week, the University of British Columbia’s student paper, The Ubyssey, published a special issue—the Colours Issue—that features articles exploring race and diversity at the Vancouver-based school.

The series features a half-dozen or so personal pieces about diversity in Vancouver, tackling issues such as: how can you identify with a certain culture when you were born in Canada?; a Sikh child’s first haircut; and asserting your status as a minority when you look white.

Check out all of the pieces online at The Ubyssey’s website.
