    No, Canada

    Canada's Central Bank has apologised for removing a depiction of a female Asian scientist from its 100-dollar banknotes, and replacing it with a female caucasian after 'focus groups' complained about stereotyping... like scientists are synonymous with the Far East or something. Surreal...

    http://www.france24.com/en/20120821-...sian-caucasian

    “Some believe that it presents a stereotype of Asians excelling in technology and/or the sciences. Others feel that an Asian should not be the only ethnicity represented on the banknotes. Other ethnicities should also be shown.”

    I mean who cares about depictions... as long as the serial-numbers are valid. Sheeesh.

    Asians DO excel in science and technology. I saw a picture of the graduating class from UF for the Dept. of Engineering and I'd say at least 80% of them were Asian. Gee, is that a racist statement?

    This is a case were people are simply over thinking things to try and be PC.
