[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A Chinese American passing by.

I sensed strong racism towards Chinese in this thread. Just because Chinese American families want decent Mandarin Chinese education and decent education in general for their kids doesn't make them racism towards other ethnic groups.

I think the posts could be read both ways. Some of the posts by bilingual parents appear to indicate that they would prefer that their kids be in a situation where most of the kids are also bilingual. Both sides need to think about their feelings about going to school with a diverse mix of students coming from different backgrounds.

I am second generation American from a time when immigrants were so poor that they had no hope of ever returning to their country of origin, so the goal was to assimilate as much as possible. No language or culture classes for the children because that would interfere with becoming part of the new country. So it is interesting to read about a very different view of the immigration and new citizenship experience.
