Thinking about schools and peers and parent-child attachments....I came across one of my favorite posts .

That statistic is a bit misleading because the percentage of Asian-American teens in California is 13% and the percentage in New York is 12%. So they are overrepresented, but not by quite as much as looking at the overall share of U.S. population.
I don't know the percentage, but there are lots of Asians in the DC area - perhaps not enough in either MD or VA to show up much in state-wide numbers, but the DC area is a different matter. My older kids HS had lots of Asians when they were there in the late 80s-early90s - and is now over 30% Asian, I think.
