At the risk of being flamed - I would say that the South Asian kids do tend to stick together and aren't as inclusive as I would have hoped. That is not to say that my child (SE Asian by the way) does not interact with them at school - just that there is no social interaction outside of school.
not all? hard to believe. what about soccer or baseball teams? or birthday parties?
I can believe it, sadly, although every family is different. I am white and when my brother was little he was friends with a Korean boy up the street. Around age 6, the Korean boy's parents told my parents that their son couldn't be friends with my brother anymore because their son would be "studying a lot."
It was kind of sad because they liked each other, and honestly short sighted of the parents. My brother is a major computer whiz, was a good student and is now a multimillionaire Silicon Valley exec. How bad of an influence could he have been?
