60% of the world’s population live in Asia. Over 20% of the world’s population is Chinese. With Asia poised to be the world’s economic power in the coming years, I think people better get used to having a lot of Asians around period.
If you choose to live in a neighborhood filled with Asians, you can either choose to benefit from learning from other cultures or not. If I were you, I would have your kids learn Chinese. Forget taking German or French in high school, Americans who can speak Chinese, both Mandarin and Cantonese, are going to have a leg up on those who don’t in the business world. I know many people, white and Asian, who are hiring Chinese nannies so their children can be immersed in learning Chinese.
