In my experience, of all the places in the world I've been to, California (and specifically SF) is probably the most progressive and best place for Westernized Asians to be. It's the one place where the bad stereotypes have withered away leaving us with the good stereotypes (well educated, hard-working, low-crime, high achievement), the whole model minority thing. Anecdotally speaking, sorry I don't research this, it's the place where I've seen the most Asians of all ethnicities in politics, as C-level executives in addition to the usual fields of achievement in Medicine and Finance. It's also the place where I've noticed the most AM/WF couples. I'm from Sydney which probably has another 20 years, a full generation to catch up to Cali. I've only ever been to Canada for short holidays so I don't know what it's like up there but the vibe I got in the 2 big anglophone cities was good. And then at the other end of the spectrum I've been to South America, Eastern Europe where they think 'slanty eyes, yellow skin, must be Japanese Businessman! Konichiwaa!!!' lol I'm going to try really hard to make my kids bi-cultural as well as bi-lingual, I guess the only way to do that though is to make them live in China for large tracts of time in their formative years. Oh at the end of all of this I forgot, Singapore is great place to be for Westernized Asians |
