East Asians don't integrate into Western culture
#1
East Asians don't integrate into Western culture
I live in Canada and whenever I see two East Asians (usually students at my university), they're often speaking to each other in a foreign language. Has anyone observed this phenomenon in other Western countries as well? These East Asians were probably born in the West, so why do they have difficulty integrating into Western culture?

RE: East Asians don't integrate into Western culture
Why do you assume they were born in the west?

Why do you give a charbroiled rat's arse how two people - strangers to you, no less - choose to speak to each other?

Why do you equate 'speaking a language I don't understand' with 'failure to integrate'?

Have you always been a bigot, or is this something new?

Unless they were having trouble understanding English then I don't see it as not integrating well to be bilingual and use another language.

Fitting in peacefully, being financially successful, and doing well in education is something I think east Asians have a tendency to do more than the vast majority of groups.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

I've met my fair share of "east Asians" not born in the U.S. and haven't encountered one who couldn't speak English. Care to guess how many native-born Americans or Canadians I've met who can speak Korean or Japanese or Mandarin?

The fact that these are university students the OP is yammering about should have been the first clue that they are reasonably well integrated, regardless of where they were born. Perhaps OP needs to broaden his horizons.

If you were in Laos, and there was another canadian walking with you...what language would you be speaking to each other?  Now, imagine you're both second gen, natural born citizens of laos with at least one first gen parent. Probably still speaking to each other in canadese..eh? If not then, when, amiright?

Skip the labels, our species in it's entire history worldwide regardless has always had a tendency to flock to that which they are familiar to. White people in America do that too, blacks do it we all do it to some degree. I wouldn't worry about why others don't speak your language, or where they come from. What matters is that the individual is non violent and contributing. There are lots of violent white people in America whom don't have their education and I am sure where others come from they have their middle and poor too.

Point is we are NOT a separate species.

What you ask is not for them to integrate into western culture, which they do well enough if they have no problems speaking with you or follow the conventions of western culture where that makes a difference.   What you ask is for them to adopt western culture wholesale even amongst themselves.

 The reason why they do not adopt wholesale may be that learned as much from western culture as is worth learning, and were not overly impressed?

You realize that people born in the West, that grow up in the West, can also speak other languages for different reasons at different times, yeah?

Why do you give a shit about how they converse? They're doing literally no harm to anyone.

1) Most East Asian people I know speak English. Maybe things are different in Canada, but I doubt it.
2) what makes you think they’re Western-born?
3) maybe they’re more interested in talking among themselves than with some jackass who thinks they can’t integrate into Western society.
