[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are the Asian American population in HoCo? My Asian American friend frequently post pics of her kids doing things and they are always the only Asian family in the pictures. When I’m in Columbia, I don’t see many Asian families. Go to Rockville/North Potomac and you see a ton of Asian American families.[/quote]

North (Ellicott City) and South/West (Fulton, North Laurel, Clarksville).  Asians are much less likely in central county (Columbia) than in the north and south parts of the county. [/quote]
Are you kidding with this? Hoco has a HUGE Asian population. Route 40 is called Korean Way...there is an actual sign erected. Many Korean churches, many Korean businesses.  There is an entire floor in a rehab center in Columbia devoted only to Korean patients. Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, in Fulton, near Maple Lawn, and all the Baltimore universities employ many people of Chinese descent, so much so that several high schools  have a predominantly Asian population. There is also a huge South Asian population in Columbia,  Ellicott City, and Fulton.

Did you do any research before posting this? Are you basing this on one outing you took to one place? [/quote]

Also there are disproportionately more Korean, Chinese, Indian school going kids because their parents are immigrant professionals working in organizations like APL, FDA etc. So a better place to check would be in companies, universities etc. Just a research methodology suggestion...[/quote]
