[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]China and India alone have almost 3 billion citizens.

Chinese immigrants number about 2 million a year to the US.  Immigrants from India have about the same numbers.

These immigrants come here for education and better quality of life.  They are a tiny percentage of Asians but they are the most likely to be hardest working with some money and family connections.

I have a friend who came here from China as a child. We have children in the same grade and are close.  The rest of her extended family will not allow their children to be friends with American children.   They see Americans as lazy and a distraction.

It’s a different culture and with that amount of people the Asian population could easily fill MIT, Harvard, etc a thousand times over.  What are they supposed to do, especially if most of them go back to their country of origin?  [/quote]

I don’t understand the question…what are they supposed to do about what?

Why should we be sympathetic to the families that won’t assimilate?[/quote]

What are you talking about
They are the ones who assimilate to the American way and American dream - hardworking and competition

Of course there are some who assimilate but many don’t.   We lived in what’s called luxury housing which means apartments in the $8,000 range.  There was a large amount of Asian families living there.  They completely isolated themselves.  Wouldn’t even look at other residents.  It wasn’t just a language barrier either.

There were residents from all over.  There were two Russian women came over not speaking English.  They started right in making friends with everyone.  Same with families from Europe and Middle East.

Yeah, those are the Americans whose family has been here forever. Talk about entitled. [/quote]
