<p>What happened to AP asian studies and AP Chinese and AP Asian History? These were going to be turned into real AP classes yet for some reason they have not been yet. We still have to live with this white ethnocentric AP testing program.</p>

<p>You're kidding right? Yes, it's all part of a Caucasian conspiracy. <em>rolls eyes</em></p>
<p>1) AP Chinese Language and Culture; AP Japanese Language and Culture
2) Must this discussion always be about The White Man's unwillingness to allow ______ ethnicity to ______?
3) Have you considered that there has perhaps been little interest in those subjects?</p>
<p>Let me guess, you two are both white?</p>
<p>:rolleyes:</p>
<p>Uh, no. You're talking to an Asian. And leave the thinly-veiled insults at home, babe, kay?</p>
<p>we live in America.</p>
<p>personally, i'd love to have the asian testing, but hell, if they're not going to have it, so be it -- the US doesn't have to cater to second-generation immigrants or anything of the like.</p>
<p>Then get into the IB program....</p>
<p>AP World has is pretty Euro and Asia centric. Most of the stuff I learn is either Asia, Middle East, or Europe. Very little Africa and Latin America. My school offers an Asian Studies class, but only Asian kids take it. Also, the Chinese language classes are full of Chinese kids. AP Spanish isn't only taken by Hispanics, and AP Euro generally has a fair number of minorities. If CB offered AP Asian History, schools in California and schools in several major metropolitan areas would probably be the only ones with more than 5 students willing to sign up for the class. With the US being 5% Asian, we should offer AP Latin American History before AP Asian history.</p>
<p>No, I'm not "white". Whiteness cannot be defined. </p>
<p>I'm not Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, but my parents are from Asia. </p>
<p>Thanks for making assumptions about my ethnicity and making yourself look like a complete fool. :)</p>
<p>why dont u just spend a summer in your home town,
i think that would be more useful than an AP course</p>
