Very interesting! I wish I could attend! Maybe there'll be a podcast? lol
Asian-Cdn vs Cdn Asian....I rarely hear the latter. I think by common practice, minorities all use the former. Asian Canadian, Turkish-German, Chinese-Malay, etc.... To me the 2nd label always signifies the host/adopted country.
The only case I can imagine using Canadian Asian would be to refer to Asians living in Canada who are not naturalized (or not interested in being naturalized with passport). I have a Korean coworker in Vanc who holds like 2 other passports already (interracial marriage) and she's not interested in the Canadian one. For her I could imagine calling her Canadian Korean.
