I actually like asians, so its not a bad thing but I am curious as to why theres so many here in a city and state that is only 2-3% asian. When I first moved here, true story the first 10-15 people I saw where all Asian and I thought it was 100% asian, but now I would guess 20-30%.

My guess is that they teach or are attending SMU.

You "like Asians"? I didn't realize they were all the same.

I grew up in California at a high school that was ~ 30% asian, and from lots of positive experiences I think I can say that, in general, I like asians. I also work in technology so its easy to relate to asians, many of whom also work in technology.

Even Hank Hill knows that there are two types of Asian - Chinese and Japanese.

Well, as long as you're not generalizing.

They all rook arike!

Seriously though, I married an Asian (Thai) and have been to every Asian country except North Korea. I can tell you they are all different.

DFW has the 4th largest Vietnamese community in the US, the 5th largest Indian community, and the 6th largest Korean community. There are quite a few here. Not nearly as many as back in LA, but theyre still here.

Maybe because Asians earn a higher salary on average (the type of people who live in The Village)? Affluence in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Asians are also over represented in the colleges and if The Village is composed of post college people there will be lots of Asians.

I know a kid in middle school in Plano that is 50% Asian. I think it's Rice Middle School.

Did you know that 50% of Asians in Plano have Cataracts? The other 50% have Rincorn Continentars.

Sorry, couldn't help myself. I'm out.
