    Stephanie, the girls on your floor might be ignoring you because they think you're mad at them. While these Asians girls, as you say, speak perfect or near perfect English, they've been taught from childhood that their English can never be as good as a white person's (trust me, I've been told this myself, and I was born in Canada!!!-- my grandmother once told me that they'd never let me be an English teacher because of my race--talk about garbage!) They're also worried that you wouldn't accept them as a person, and are usually really surprised when they see one of 'their own' being asked by a white person to go to a party, etc. They're just shy, Stephanie. Maybe if you let them get to know you better, maybe invite them out or something. Have a floor party! I did that last year with my floor. IT was great!
