What makes makes the idea of the ethnic mosaic obsolete?
The ethnic mosaic is based on the idea that you are defined by your ancestry, regardless of how little or how much your ethnicity is a part of your life. For example, if your ancestors came from the Philippines, you are labeled "Filipino Canadian," or an Asian Canadian. But that doesn't really say anything about you or the world you work and live in. The fact is, ethnicity is still important, but it isn't the most important thing in the lives of Canadian youth and young adults, the most culturally diverse and culturally mobile generation in Canadian history.
