[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think of American-born Asians any differently than I think of my Caucasian friends.  American-born Asians probably had a pretty similar upbringing to mine - fairly strict parents who wanted them to do well in school - and they grew up surrounded by white people, just like I did.

But [b]I don't really have many (or any) Asian friends who are not American-born or who don't speak English very fluently - I find that certain groups of Asians (new immigrants, non-native English speakers) are more likely to socialize among themselves and less with me.[/b]

Same goes for other races - my social group in Arlington includes people of all ethnicities.  The blacks in our group are typically of the same educational and economic level as the whites.  (same with the hispanics.)  we have more in common than not.[/quote]

I'm Asian, came to the US as a toddler, so practically born here, and I would agree with the bolded.  I don't have any recent immigrant Asian friends, either.  Very different cultures.[/quote]
