You're mistaking accusations against YY parents with the opinions of YY parents. [/quote]

OK, maybe I am.  Doesn't change the fact that your school community doesn't appear to roll out the welcome mat to an immigrant group that struggles to fit in and understand race and class politics in America.  [b]My immigrant in-laws have no clear conception of why most poor AA families can't send their kids to top colleges, as they did, although they would have been a FARMs family in the 70s and 80s if they hadn't been too proud to accept the help. [/b] YY would surely have more Chinese-speaking students and parents, whatever the law says, if the school made a point of giving prospective bilingual parents the impression that you wanted them.  When we attended an info night (purposely timed a US visit to coincide so we could attend) my wife wanted to leave halfway through.  She said I'm the only Chinese here, and probably the only Chinese speaker, and I'm hearing too much that rubs me the wrong way.  Let's go.

Regarding what your IL think and feel about AA, how is that relevant to YY?[/quote]
