I’m not but I wonder if I am doing his a disservice not encouraging at least one thing that is a little different? Literally every activity we go to it’s only other Indian and Chinese boys. Very few girls and very few kids of other races. [/quote]

Your child’s soccer team is only Indian and Chinese boys? And all the kids I know who do youth orchestra are white and some are girls.  [/quote]

Actually that’s true soccer has some non-Asians, but it’s the only activity that does. Youth orchestra he will be joining at the younger level and it looks like all Asian minorities, high school levels have a larger mix. But yes the math, chess, and music activities we go to now are 90%+ Indian/Asian. I don’t even understand it because our district is majority white so I think lots of kids are coming from neighboring towns to take math and chess. I have never seen a classmate from school at any of these. That is part why I wonder if I should put him in something else to be with friends and peers. [/quote]
