Can someone please explain to me why a majority of the people in this photo are white?


I'm assuming Peel Street is the local expat hangout. You'll find them in most larger cities.

Are these white people that are remnants/descendants of britons that moved there when it was a colony? Or are they tourists/students studying abroad?



They work for JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, BOA, UBS etc

What’s with all the whites?


Hong Kong has a ton of English that live and work there. Due to proximity, I'm sure you'll have a healthy amount of Australians and New Zealander / Kiwis, but I believe the English are the overwhelming majority.

I love this board. Anyone in an urban environment who isn't a fat frick and who is wearing something other than ill-fitting clothes from Wal-mart or the Gap equals "hipster".

Never change, OT. Never change.


Unfortunately, that's because the Southeast is filled with feeble-minded rednecks that only travel to opposing SEC games and the Florida gulf coast.

I didn’t see anything hipster about that pic
A lot of white button ups and slacks
Looks kinda like midtown Manhattan minus the vests

FYI
I was on Peel St in early March and it looked like the second picture. Then we had lock down measures which closed most bars. Last night was the official reopening of bars after almost 3 weeks of no new locally transmitted Covid cases. So everyone was headed out last night to celebrate.
