[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m Korean and immigrated to the US in middle school. I lived in the Midwest where I got viciously bullied for being the only Asian kid. Then my family moved to SF where my school was almost 50% Asian and felt like I fit in for the first time. I moved to Arlington a year ago with my Korean husband for work and we are now expecting. I want to have at least 2 kids and was wondering how is this area for Asian families? I know it is much more diverse and accepting here than the Midwest, but it still doesn’t have as many Asians as SF. I’m just worried my kids will grow up being bullied or feeling like outsiders here. The experience I had was traumatizing and I don’t want my kids to go through the same so was wondering if I should move back to SF or NY. [/quote] My kids’ high schools in FCPS are both majority-minority (19% and 46% whites). There is no racism here near DC; most people are brown / not white.[/quote]
