<p>Hi,</p>
<p>As a half-Asian, do you think it would still be okay for me to join ethnic Asian groups in college? This can go for any other bi-racial people and their respective groups. For example, I'm half Korean, so do you think it would still be okay for me to join the Korean Students Association even though most of the others there are full Asian?</p>
<p>Thank you :) !</p>
<p>I don’t think that would be a problem at all o_o As long as you’re respectful, it shouldn’t matter what ethnicity you are.</p>
<p>i’m sure they’ll take you. they really just want to recruit a lot of members. it helps if you look the part (even the least bit) so i’m sure you’re fine</p>
<p>Asian groups let other races in at my school…I’m pretty sure it’s okay.at least ur half Asian</p>
<p>Likely they’ll only let you half-join. Obviously your blood oath will only half work because you’re only half-Korean.</p>
<p>These clubs are legally required not to discriminate, and sometimes even have people of completely different elasticities (white kids, e.g.).</p>
<p>Depends if they are korean americans or koreans from… korea. lol.
Well if they are korean americans, I don’t think you’ll have issues. If they are foreign students, they’ll want to speak korean and do stuff you might not be familiar with so they might not be as comfortable with you. I’m korean myself so i’m just being honest. They aren’t even comfortable with korean americans sometimes so…</p>
<p>Can you speak korean/familiar with korean culture?</p>
<p>The president of the Irish club, at my former college, was Mexican and most of the students in the Asian club were actually white (with a love for all things Japanese).</p>
<p>Thanks for all the responses :)</p>
<p>@uyulove, I lived in Korea for a couple of years when I was younger and I’m pretty familiar with the culture. My Korean is kind of rusty though, since I’ve forgotten a lot, and that is my main worry. :(</p>
<p>^ Don’t worry! You will probably meet people who know NOTHING in their native languages! Have fun!</p>
<p>Join. Think of it, at the very least, as an opportunity to improve your Korean speaking skills. Employers love bilingual people. Beyond that, maybe you’ll gain a new found appreciation for where that side of your family comes from.</p>
<p>tsubomi- ok basically they’ll treat you like korean americans. From what I remember KSA is more english oriented (at least at my school) so I don’t think you’ll have alot of problems. If it doesn’t work out, there are other korean groups anyhoo don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>Asians usually tend to stick to their own people, so that’s why I was just asking. (it’s the truth what can I say)</p>
