[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am Asian and went to HS in Bethesda in the 90s. Tough times, honestly. My gym teacher made fun of my name in front of the whole class. My son is half Asian in a DCPS school with a very small Asian population but if you count half Asian kids the % increases by quite a bit. K pop, bubble tea, Pokémon, seaweed snacks - these are part of Gen Alpha's pop culture. It's not just a different geography, it's a different time, and that has really driven the experience I see my son having. Sometimes, I have to do a double take to reflect on the experience I had. It's a different time.[/quote] +1 when I was growing up in the 70s out west, I was one of maybe 2 Koreans in my school. My mom packed Korean food for our lunches, and we got made fun of. Today, my whasian kids and their friends love korean food, and when my DC takes seaweed or kimbab to school, their non Asian friends all want some. Such a difference to the way I grew up.[/quote]
