*disclaimer: i completely understand that putting every Asian person into this stereotype is completely wrong, and i understand that. i fully realize the majority of people outside of this issue that are polite and excellent members of society. Not trying to dis Asians, culture is completely fine, i just want to know whats going on here.
i go to a public high school in California, and there is this group of about 20 Asians at my school ( important to note that they are from all different countries: Korea, China, Vietnam), and they completely shut themselves off from everyone else. A lot of them were born and raised in America but refuse to "westernize" themselves, ie: not doing the pledge (required in us schools), basic courtesy (holding doors open, please and thank you), and being disrespectful to so called american culture under the pre-tense that (according to them) reverse racism doesn't exist and that they have it harder than anyone. But outside of this weird little group, this behavior is seen all around the school; Asian people separating themselves from white people. Someone once showed me a Skype chat titled "Asian Chat (no white people allowed)" where they just gave homework answers and stuff, and you just had to be Asian to get in, you didn't even have to know anyone. Does anyone know why this happens? I should note that nobody at school is at all racist, its insanely strict, but most people idolize you for being Asian here anyway.
