[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assimilation is a complex process. A generation ago, many immigrant kids felt the need to be like everyone else because people just weren’t as aware of other cultures back then. Now social media/internet has made the world smaller and some things that used to be “ethnic” have gone “mainstream”. White/black/Hispanic kids enjoy boba tea and K-pop music and Indian street food.  Kids of all backgrounds cheer on their college football teams. Asian kids have broken out of the chess/math club mold and now you see Asian names on college sports rosters. I’m just not sure what the anti-Asian posters mean when they talk about Asian kids not assimilating or white kids avoiding  Asian-heavy colleges. [/quote]

This is true although I’m not sure they broke out of too many stereotypes.  In our town middle school there are some after school activities.   The math team has about 30 members.  There are two who aren’t Asian.  Many Asian parents are open about keeping a close circle around them.  They don’t want their kids outside with the White, Black, Latino kids.   [/quote]
