[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do find it a bit odd that you admit you are insular and reserved but still feel free to make sweeping judgments about YY families (none of them know any Chinese people, their kids mumble and do not understand anything other than Chinese baby talk, they don't travel to China except perhaps for the YY trip, they don't have any cultural connection or awareness, and--my favorite--they don't even know the difference between Cantonese and Mandarin). While that may very well be true of the YY families you know from your neighborhood, it is absolutely not representative of all or even most families.

NP, Christ, everybody knows that boatloads of parents without "cultural connections" or "awareness" throw their names in every language immersion charter school hat every winter.  What else are they supposed to do, enroll their children in in-boundary schools with dismal proficiency pass rates or move to McClean?

Sweeping judgments, ha ha.  Try reality.

PP said he didn't know *any* YY parents who even had a Chinese friend, FFS. That is a stupid, sweeping judgement.[/quote]
