[quote=Anonymous][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]

Nope. This is just scared racist logic from people who grow up in a ethnic enclave bubble, and then call it racism.

Compare people who grow up in ethnic ghettos to those that don’t, and you’ll see the difference every time.[/quote]

Maybe I shouldn't have used the term "enclave" because it's conjuring an image of a poor, ghetto person.  I more meant areas that have concentrations of Asians, like 15% Asians in their schools.  Flyover country tends to lack that.  There are benefits to being around people who share some of the same culture and traditions.  Those areas can support businesses and restaurants that cater to Asians.  If you can't see the benefits of that then I don't know what to say.[/quote]
