Here in Minnesota the vast majority of Asians are Southeast Asians. And we have found that even with that geographical focus, there are many differences among the Hmong, Laotians, Cambodians, and Vietnamese communities.

OK, I should clarify. The majority of "Asians" in Toronto are of Chinese descent, mostly from Hong Kong (and I guess their British colonial upbringing is probably the reason why they are likely to send their children to old line prep schools...these schools are still relatively strong in UK heritage). Hong Kong and Taiwanese (despite their non-UK colonial past) make up a good proportion of Asian students in such schools, but there are some Korean students there too.
