What?? I'm 40+ yo Asian and I had sleepovers all the time growing up in my home country.  Not just a white thing. [/quote]

I am so fascinated by this because my 8yo daughter's BFF is Asian and her mom told me no sleepovers because Asians don't do sleepovers. I have always wanted to follow up and ask why but felt weird about it, she was kind of firm and final. The mom is American so it's not an issue of another country's culture. [/quote]

Also Asian, also had sleepovers.[/quote]

I would say depends on the Asian. We're Chinese and my sons friends are mostly Indian, just demo of our neighborhood. His friends have sleepovers almost every single month. Where they will stay up till 2-3am playing games, eating and watch dumb movies. My son always gives me the sad face when I question once again, why do you have to go to another sleepover? I'm mostly annoyed that he's not getting enough "sleep" which I know, what else do you expect when you get 12-13 year old boys together? It's more of a problem when my son has soccer games the next day and then he complains he "too tired" to do things.

Anyways, while I always grew up thinking sleepovers is an America girls type thing, I find that in our lives, its' the boys who have the most sleepovers. Yes they are "Asian" and the girls in our neighborhood does NOT do sleepovers. One of my daughter's friends is also super sus about her daughter sleeping over when there are teenage boys in the house...which is why she never even came over to my daughter's house for a sleepover only when my son was away at at his own sleep over.

I don't try to judge. I know each parents have their own concerns and limits. I don't love sleepovers, but I'm OK with them and think it does offer extra bonding time with friends.
