How does it show that? Also, a majority of politicians are white, so it's not that surprising that they'd indiciate political activities. And how does having and Asian surname increase their chances? You seem to believe in the just world fallacy.

It shows that because Asians with Western first name and Asian last name have a 21% callback rate vs the 16.7% for white names. That's what the study you posted shows. It's not rocket science, really.

Also, maybe the majority of politicians are white because there are more white people in Canada?

Read it again. 16.7 is the average out of everyone, not just whites. And since blacks and Asians are lower than that, whites have to be higher.
