He's going into Biomedical Engineering, so he's checked out, according
to his dad, what he 'needs'. This year, in high school, he's taking
third semester calculus along with 'Physics with Calculus'. Yeah, he's
smart and busts his ass. He's having a rough time though. There are
only 30 kids in the whole program, in Richmond, and almost all the rest
are Asian. The Asian kids hang together, Korean clique and Japanese
clique, and won't let a regular ol' white boy join their study groups.

If he's going to continue along that career path he'll be meeting a
lot more asians along the way. They're smart and highly motivated at
home. I'd suggest that he try to make friends with some of those kids
and hopefully gain a measure of acceptance.
My grand daughters were in the advanced school and their classes
looked like a UN meeting. Most of the kids "are not from around here".

Lots of Asians of the Chinese/Japaneese variety and the Indian
variety.
I went to college in San Francisco. I was the minority.
