[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait until you get to MS and HS when teacher choose award recipients. You'll see how few Asian American students especially East Asian students get awards for anything other than grades.[/quote]
I feel like your child goes to the same school as mine but it's probably universal in this area. HS with high Asian American percentage. More than 20 awards for things like leadership. 0 Asian Americans.

the Asian American experience imo is better in flyover country than in mega-city suburbs

You are treated as an individual more.

Not really.  People feel less threatened and are less likely to lash out at you, but you'll still run into bias and discrimination.  You aren't white.  You stick out like a sore thumb.  People are just nicer about it.  That doesn't make up for the lack of immigrant enclaves.[/quote]

I grew up as an Asian-american in flyover country and didn’t meet Asian Americans who grew up in “enclaves” and bigger cities until i went to college and grad school and found those Asian-Americans really maladjusted

But maybe that was my experience as a millenial and things are different for Gen Z
