As someone who visited nyc: how good is Philly and Boston?

As someone who visited NYC and viet food there is mediocre, I’ve heard that Philadelphia has good viet food and the best one in the east coast, as well as Boston (they also have a higher actual Vietnamese population than nyc.) Since I’ve never been to any of these cities, how good is their viet food compared to OC, SJ or even Texas?

As a viet from OC, we need more viets in nyc

I visited nyc and I assumed that it had a lot of viets since it’s nyc, yk, lol…

But anyways I tried their viet food and it’s mediocre at best, despite it having a lot of viet restaurants around the city. I checked the viet population and it’s less than 0.5% 😭. I assumed that those viet places are Chinese Han owned. I am planning to relocate to nyc soon, and we need more viet people from all over America to move to nyc since we need more viet culture down here 😭. There is already Chinese, Korean, Indian, and middle eastern culture, but we need more viet culture.

Why is it hard to find Japanese Americans?

I’ve seen and met Asians from different backgrounds, but I rarely see a Japanese, even in big cities like LA, Bay Area, NYC, Jersey, etc.
I see a lot of Japanese restaurants from left to right, and yet most of them are either Chinese or Korean owned.
Besides Hawaii, why are Japanese Americans hard to find in America?

As a Vietnamese American:

I’m from OC, and I’ve never been to Vietnam, nor can I speak Vietnamese, but I can understand some. Since my parents are from OC too, born and raised, so that makes my grandparents immigrants, but I’ve never really been too exposed to the Vietnamese culture, besides the food only.

Can other Asian American viets relate here?

Asian countries such as like Vietnam, Japan, and South Korea have one of the lowest obesity and overweight rates, why?

Asian countries such as like Vietnam, Japan, and South Korea have one of the lowest obesity and overweight rates and besides portion control, healthy eating, walking a lot, and judging from just gaining weight, do you think that genetics plays a strong factor too?

Also in America, I grew up with a lot of Asians from what I’ve speculated from my experience only, I saw a huge amount of skinny of fit viets, South Koreans, Japanese, and some Chinese people. Now ofc, there are overweight ones too, but I mainly saw skinny and fit ones.

Someone said about Las Cruces: What do y’all think?

So a cousin told me that Las Cruces is more related to Dallas, Houston, and Austin compared to Phoenix since our demographics, education, diversity, and weather greatly is similar to Texas, but I disagree. I believe that Las Cruces is more similar to Phoenix since our weather is dry and “deserty,” and our diversity here in Cruces is more similar to Phoenix or Arizona in general compared to Dallas, Houston, or Austin or even Texas as a whole (except El Paso.) What do y’all think?

7Sage is not helping

7Sage is not helping I’m in the “foundations section” and this dude doesn’t help much with prepping for the LSAT. I heard that Kaplan sucks. Do any of y’all have any recommendations for anything better than 7Sage?

What type of “region/group” is Dion’s Sub?

So you know that there are different types of subs for every culture or region such as the Banh Mi from Vietnam or Jambron-beurre (French sub) or an Italian sub or a New Jersey sub, but for Dion’s it’s a little different in my opinion since they serve different types of subs, and out of curiously, do y’all know on which “region/group” are Dion’s Subs are from?

And ya ik Dion’s is known for mainly pizza, but they also serve a lot of food options besides pizza.

Question about Asian Americans in SD:

I’m from OC (Tustin area) and I used to live in Alhambra and growing up I’ve had close resources to cheap, authentic Asian food and competitive school environments. Additionally, Asian Americans in LA and OC tend to form their own “Asian friend group” bubble only. I recently watched this video on TikTok about an Asian American from SD saying that Asians from SD are different compared to LA/OC and the Bay Area Asians; that is SD Asians, according to him, are discriminated more often, they are more exposed to non-Asian peers at school, are more likely to be in a non-Asian friend group. Idk if this is true, but to Asian Americans in SD and non-Asians can answer it too, but is true that SD Asians are “different” compared to OC/LA/ and Bay Area Asians?

Question about lcps:

Okay okay so y’all know that our single public school district is lcps, right? Self explanatory, but the top elementary schools in Las Cruces are White Sands and Desert Hills. On the other hand, top public middle schools are Mesilla Valley and Camino. Finally, the top high schools are Arrowhead and Centennial. I know this is going to be a dumb question, but for these schools that I’ve listed, if they were located in California, which district would they hypothetically belong to? *LAUSD which is Los Angeles Unifed* OR *SDUSD which is San Diego Unifed?*

Since I’m not from Texas so I got another question for the teachers in Texas

Is it true that in Texas you need a 70% or higher to pass classes from K-12? In other states it’s D- 60%. I’ve also heard that even though it’s 70% to pass, it’s still considered a D and a C is 75%? So if that’s true, if your final grade is a 74, which is a D, according from what I’ve heard, it would be on your transcript? So colleges would see a D rather than a C? (Especially out of state?)
