[quote=Anonymous]Asian means anyone from Asia. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, India, etc. West Asian countries, aka the Middle East, are also considered Asian. So is eastern Russia.

Asia is huge. There are cultural differences between all of the Asian countries. If there is a mix between the different cultures at your school, I personally feel that this would be an excellent opportunity for your kids to get to learn about people from around the world. Because that is a better representation of the global world that we live in. HOWEVER, if you find that there is a larger concentration of one nationality, then your child might feel out of place. Ex. if the majority are Korean, where the kids speak Korean, all go to the same church or attend the same Korean school, then your kid might feel like an outsider. It may help if you look at the census data to see what type of Asians are in your neighborhood. That tends to be broken down by country.

We live in FFC and our elementary school has a mix of kids with backgrounds from all over the world. I don't see a predominant race among the kids. It's a great environment.  [/quote]
