The race that is the worst for moving to another country and not integrating with the indigenous population or learning the language and living in little clique communities isn't Asians, or any other race for that matter - its the British.

I hate Asian immigrants Even though I'm descendent of a family of Japanese Immigrants to Canada I hate how they're obsessed with building some insanley tight knit community with people from their home country and then they just bitch about how much fucking better it was in Korea or China or whatever the fuck If it was better go the fuck back I hate how 9/10 don't even make an effort to learn the new language Yeah sure, English is hard, but for fuck sake, if it's one of the official languages make a god damn effort If they're going to open a business, how about something that maintains a little more legal base than selling bootlegs and stolen goods Or maybe even applying for a work VISA I met a guy who was working in a Manchu Wok as a cook, who had been in Canada for 2 years now as a "Tourist" He was working illegally! He didn't speak a word of english and was from somewhere in mainland Taiwan Most of my friends are caucasian and we can walk through some areas in our hometown and they'll feel awkwardly out of place A friend of mine is from Vancouver and he's caucasian, he says that he'd walk through downtown vancouver with his cousins and they'd be the only group of non-asian or middle-eastern immigrants on the block sometimes I can take tolerance so far, but when you exclude the entire culture of the country you live in Get the fuck out kam.. i read what u wrote.. i see your point of view...i do.. i am not sure how different asians are tho from other immigrants.. early on in america ie little italy etc... when i lived in germany all the turkish ppl stayed together in camps essentially.. some married germans, some stayed to themselves..etcetc.. i work in a school for the deaf currently.. same deal, they stay to themselves..they use american sign language and most do not go out into the hearing world.. the mennonite ppl i am acquaintances with etc.. the same deal.. in my neighborhood the latino families are STRONG and tight.. my daughter goes to school with many as it is a catholic school.. little by little we get to know more families but it only goes so far...kinda a bummer.. and she and i shld learn more spanish i suppose... ~i cld ramble on more but perhaps is comes down to language and culture are people's identities.. def the language is a person's ID based on what i see !and birds oF a feather flock together... RIGHT OR WRONG IT'S HUMAN NATURE ??

RIGHT OR WRONG IT'S HUMAN NATURE ?? It is human nature but the way I find with a lot of asian families that I know, they don't even bother to take in a new culture, a new society There's times when the whole Human Nature thing is a real pain in the ass isn't it? Having this automatic disagreement with someone because of their heritage It's racism, sure call me a racist for singling out East Asians, but I personally think they're terrible for it Pride in your background is a great thing to have, shame isn't something anyone should carry, especially not if its because someone told them they weren't good enough because of how they were born But when people get in fights because of background it's terrible, it's stupid Croats and Serbians Israeli and Palestinians Any East Asian country and the Japanese (They were all over run after all, so they don't particularly like us ) Maybe I started this whole thing because I don't like being singled out for something that happened 75 years ago, either way It's a real shame that it happens Look at me, running for Miss World and touting discrimination

Well, I'm definitely not a fan of assimilation, but there are definitely some steps that need to be taken in order to make society more functional.
Also, I totally agree about your statement regarding immigrants that complain. If I lived in Korea I wouldn't complain about it incessantly: and even if I did, I'm quite sure I'd leave.
It's a difficult subject
