[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, if Asians (Chinese) are the majority at the school, keep in mind they can be very insular, meaning they only socialize with one another. That can make a Black child feel very isolated, i.e. , they may not be invited to play dates and birthday parties, etc. And even though Asians are enrolled in ELA programs at high numbers in the 20878 zip code, they will still think they are superior to your child. For example, in a lot of the debates about the re-zoning of Wootton to include more Black and Brown kids, it is predominantly Asians (with limited English proficiency) who are pushing the narrative that this is going to bring down Wootton’s reputation. Additionally, the Asian community has filed a very weak civil rights complaint under this Trump administration over the boundary study. Also, note the same community is who sued to overturn affirmative action.

I give you this info so you know exactly what you are walking into. Good luck. [/quote]

Asian is not synonymous with Chinese. There are a lot of recent Chinese immigrants specifically from the mainland in some neighborhoods and those communities can be quite insular but many other areas have a huge diversity in Asian-American parents who were born in the States are the 2nd or 3rd or more generations in the U.S. There's really no insular culture I've observed with Asian-American families.[/quote]
I agree with the PP and had expressed a similar view earlier. Asian Americans are insular as are Chinese immigrants. Asian Americans are the loudest ones who don’t want to be mixed in with who they regard as the poors (look at the Crown thread).[/quote]

#facts - the group that is the most opposed and yet can’t speak English well enough to articulate it properly but still has the nerve to look down on others. [/quote]
I’m the PP you’re responding to. I would say most of the rabid anti-Crown group are American born and speak like you speak. The problem with them is they seem rabid and aren’t coherent. Something about worrying about their home values going down, and their perception of a decrease in “status” (which was only in their heads in the first place. No one cares about their rando secondary school). They don’t like the FARMS rate going up, which would correspond with the change of “demographics.” It seems clear to me who they don’t want to be mixed with.[/quote]

Well, you can choose to believe racist posters like this one, or you can choose to focus on academic excellence.  In Asia, schools rank children by their academics, so there is a cultural difference.  Wootton is known as an academic pressure cooker, which are the academic skills necessary to succeed if you wish to be globally competitive.  This is why Wootton is currently ranked #3 in the state and many anti-asian racists smear the school.  For example, the shooter and person shot at Wootton were non-asian, non-white, non-hispanic, non-american native... however the racist posters try to paint a different picture of the school shooting.[/quote]
