[quote=Anonymous][quote] Perhaps you have not read the entire thread. YY did reach out to the DC Chinese community, and was summarily rebuffed. [/quote] I read in years 1 and 2. Time to do it again. [/quote] If you want it, you are free to join in and reach out. If you just want to sit back and bitch about what others would do, oh well . . . [/quote] I must be one of the only non-Chinese Cantonese speakers for miles (former LDS missionary in Hong Kong). Reaching out won't work w/out dialect speakers leading the charge -this has to be why YY was "summarily rebuffed" in years 1 & 2. It's just not an outward-looking culture, even if learning Mandarin imposes an outward-looking element on Chinese with strong family ties to the South (most in DC). Couldn't the PA at least lobby for a Cantonese-speaking administrator if YY wants to get bilingual numbers up, even a little? Is it out of the question? [/quote]
