[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asian can mean japanese, korean, indian, etc. Asia is a large continent. Also, just b/c someone is of Chinese or mixed Chinese descent does not mean the person speaks or knows any Mandarin. Yu Ying like all charters cannot screen/test-in for language or anything else. [/quote] Yes, thanks for the explanation of US census categories. That's why I wrote "in this context". Doubt there are too many Indians seeking YY enrollment, but who knows. Is there a YY parent who can guesstimate the % of YY kids who speak chinese at home with at least one native speaker? [/quote] Just checked the demographics - it is 72% black, white and hispanic, and the rest asian or "two or more races". So it would appear that 72% do not speak chinese at home, and maybe some of the remaining 28% do... [/quote] Actually, there are a few white families that are fluent in Mandarin.[/quote]
