[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you move to upper NW, there will be enough mixed kids, especially half Asian, half white, that your kids will not feel like lonely only's. I was the only Asian in my elementary and middle school years, and that sucked, but being one of five in your class of 25 is not bad. My kids have never felt like they don't fit in, and many of their friends are also mixed-race. In fact, they really don't see mixed-race families as unusual or something worth commenting on.[b] I would actually think that in some of the suburbs with large Asian populations that they would feel more "lonely" because the Asian kids will be "full" Asians, and there will be fewer mixed kids. [/b]The half Asian, half white kids at my high school (with decent sized Asian population but almost no mixed kids) always felt like they were not Asian enough to be Asian and not white enough to be white. [/quote] ? Neither of my half Asian/white kids have remotely stated this, and we live in Rockville. There are *several* biracial children here, of all kinds. "I would actually think..." .. you thought wrong.[/quote]
