Alot of asians especially at school keep to themselfs. They all get together in a group and dont let pple frm other cultures join in. They're very protective. Take ur GF out to eat asian food(chinese,viatnamese,japanese, any kind) have her expierence the culture and show her that its not so bad.

it's probably more complicated than simply showing her a few good points about asian culture.
If you think the problem is with asian people then the most logical solution would be asian people.
if you have any asian friends maybe you can introduce her to them. get her to get to know some nice asian people, maybe she'll change her opinion.
honestly though she sounds kinda close minded about it. If someone dislikes an entire race of people you'd think there would be a damn good reason for it, and not just because she "dosent get along with any asian people at her school"
maybe there is another reason that you don't know about, talk to her about it.

Don't really think the problem is with asian people in general just Highschool people.
Their are some high strung asians out their but if you know how to talk to them and have basic curtisy then everything should be fine. When I was in high school I hated none asian people because they always thought I didn't know english or basic american "things" (Didn't help that I was EnglishSecondLanguage either but i grew up speaking navajo), its like "WTF!". Hahahahahaha so hopefully your girlfriend isnt like that . Younger asian people now are really different than older generations speacially in america but usually koreans are really outgoing and generous.

Don't know if this helped but you can always PM me if you want.


I'm not racist . . . I hate everyone equally.
