David, the guy’s writing from the United Kingdom. Over there, the term ‘Asian’ refers to South Asian (Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, etc.) immigrants, because those are the people who make up the majority of Asian immigrants. East Asian immigrants have done a good job of integrating (as much as they can so far) without losing their culture in the United States, as far as I know, and probably in the United Kingdom, too. But South Asian immigrants…they set up ‘culture camps’ to send their kids to during the summer, they threaten to disown their kids if they intermarry with other races or even other religions (i.e. a Hindu kid and a Muslim kid), which explains the relatively low rate of intermarriage for South Asians in the United States with ANY other racial group, plus the whole ‘become a doctor and marry a nice Indian girl, forget about your dreams of becoming a rock star’ mentality. Religious fundamentalism, or at least strictness, is part of it in the United Kingdom, I think.
