Question about Ethnicity in Princeton,,,

Colleges & Universities Princeton University

<p>Are there many Koreans, Chineses, or Japaneses who are not native-speakers??</p>

<p>Do they hang out with Americans a lot or are there mostly hanging out themselves???</p>

<p>yes there are some. My S’s dinner group consists of native korean and chinese kids.</p>

<p>Simba, I think the OP said “not native”.<br>
Lax2011, by non native speakers did you mean Asian Americans, who are Americans born here of Asian decent? If so, then yes. There is an Asian American Students Association, a Korean American Students Association, as well as many other multicultural organizations.</p>

<p>I’m a non-native Korean-American.</p>

<p>I think the OP means Asians who are not native speakers of English, by which I infer that s/he refers mostly to int’l students, and not Asian Americans. If I’m right (to be confirmed by the OP), then simba’s interpretation is correct, in that those Asians are native of their Asian languages, and non-native in English, which is what the OP probably means. (There is a post by the OP him/herself saying s/he is int’l <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?p=2372063#post2372063[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?p=2372063#post2372063&lt;/a&gt;, so I guess my interpretation is correct - however I have no idea how to answer the question :frowning: )</p>

<p>haha, yes, I’m talking about int’l students whose English is their 2nd language. Are there a lot of them, and do they hang out among themselves or with Americans???</p>
