Why don't people want to go to tj just because there are "too many" asians?

I have no idea why a county that supposedly cares about equity and "One Fairfax" would cater to such people. It is simply appalling.

That's ONE FAMILY. Your argument is based on the racist attitudes of ONE FAMILY. I could give you an anecdote about one racist white family or one racist black family, etc., but what would be the point? This discussion is pointless.

There are hardly any Asians in schools with high farms/ESOL populations.
And hardly any whites!

The big exception to this would be Annandale, which year over year is about 50% FARMS and about 25% white and 25% asian. Koreatown is not especially affluent.

Annandale is about 19% Asian now, which is just the county average. The Koreans still have businesses in Annandale, but many have moved further west and north. Centreville, Chantilly and Oakton are the schools with really large Asian populations now; Langley, McLean and Woodson also have higher Asian percentages than Annandale.

The FCPS school that actually has a high FARMS/ESOL population and a higher than average Asian population is Lee, which is about 50% FARMS and 24% Asian (biggest group is Vietnamese).

It is generally the case that the schools in FCPS with the highest AA enrollments - Hayfield, Mount Vernon, and West Potomac - have relatively few Asians, but that may reflect the fact that southeastern Fairfax isn't very convenient to the tech jobs in Tysons and further west.
