That I totally agree. That's why you would see people usually hang out with their own group. Filipinos with filipinos; chinese with chinese. It's not surprising becuase I have heard stories how asians trying to find their own root, their culture because they feel they cannot identify themselves with the general American public. They try to push for various Asian American programs, cultural awareness groups and rallies.
Though to be honest, there's pratically not much you can learn about asian culture by hanging out with asian groups. You live in America, you eat the same food like Americans do, you listen to the same songs and etc. So to me, it's more like they feel they cannot relate themselves to others cultural groups. It's not just asians but other groups as well. So that's why it's not surprising to see people are still segregated in a way.
