You are equating the presence of non-white people with an assumption that Asian Americans and Asians are accepted there. I've been to Miami several times and have found in my personal experience (I am a third-generation "assimilated" Asian American with no accent - in case you are wondering) that there is a lot of racial animosity towards Asians. People of every color can be racist. To Mary:

Anyway, my son was starting to get interested in remote control cars. I think it is Playskool who makes a beginner type of remote control car, it has 2 buttons and if it hits an object (like a wall) it will flip over and keep going. Pretty cool. Building stuff, things that make obnoxious noises like dinosaurs, he started liking animals so we have a ton of weird animals laying around. Hope that helps. For Peg:

I was shocked. She is beautiful, smart, funny and talented. She is popular and has lots of friends....but none of the boys she knows 'like' her, and she has no doubt - nor does her mother - that it is because she is Asian. Oh, and btw, we live outside of Miami, so clearly we live in a very racially diverse area.

Seriously, though - it was great for me that I started having boy/girl sex in college, since the $$ for condoms would have been a moderate issue if I needed to buy them. (I still remember the culture shock of leaving school and realizing that I had to BUY condoms now. Yay for monogamy and the IUD. Thanks for so many answers!
