| I am not really concerned by xenophobia against foreign people, as I myself am a 2nd-generation immigrant of my country. Discriminating other countries is not something in my interest. I am concerned with whether I am able to do both adapting to the way of life in my current country, and also trying... |

| True, Lene. I think... I will have to ask my Asian friends in US what it is like that, whenever I can. I'll wait for results from my friends' GPA. |

(Smiles) Try to post PPR content on a blog, no one will care.
Try to post PPR on FB, everyone will not be friends anymore.
But the vigor and rigor here is balanced with respect and humility in almost all participants, to discuss and to learn. |

| I lived and worked for some years in Singapore and can understand that it is a difficult place to live in. For me it was mostly the buzz that got to me, too many people, smells, colors, etc. On the other hand I had some advantage with being a foreigner. As a foreigner I'm already a bit "different",... |

| You are one person though...you don't have the numerical strength to demand the host country change itself to fit your lifestyle, language, religion, etc. When its a large population moving in, in a country such as the United States where we have a political tradition not rooted in ethnic identity,... |

| I'm not sure what you mean by assimilate. So long as they abide by the laws of their host country, why should they assimilate if they do not want to? All people of whatever race, creed or culture should be rightly proud of their history and celebrate their differences. I am stating this as a Brit l... |

| So it's just a matter of appearance - as long as Asians act and follow societal norms, they'll be ok? |

I have to state that I am now living in Asia.
Here, either capable people with autism/AS keep quiet and go on to have a great career ahead (and suffer), or that they crash and burn in university.
Why can't we be every bit as successful as Aspies in the West? |

Unpleasant experiences
1. Having to buy an iPhone because the school requires so.
2. Being bullied by girls. (I am a male, no offense, but)
3. Humiliated in school and beyond.  |
