[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to the DC Asian Pacific Islander office, Japanese comprise almost six percent of DC proper's Asian population. If this idea flies, there is no telling how that might influence the growth of Japanese in DC proper. It will be interesting. [/quote] Depends on if you are talking about Japanese or Japanese American. Japanese families tend to utilize the Japanese Saturday schools which focus on preparing kids to return to Japan eventually. Japanese families, especially in DC, tend to be here for just a few years on assignment, then return to Japan, so not a good base upon which to build a school. As for Japanese Americans, most in the area live in Virginia or Maryland. Or they don't have kids in school. Although DC has one of the largest Japanese American Citizens League chapters outside California, there are few members with families in DC.[/quote]
