a special report dug up by an ex-cupertino area closet friend (not to be confused with ex-closet friend):

"monta vista high school's parent-teacher association, recently dissuaded a family with a young child from moving to cupertino because there are so few young white kids left in the public schools. 'this may not sound good,' she confides, 'but their child may be the only caucasian kid in the class.'

...some asians believe that the resulting lack of diversity creates an atmosphere that is too sheltering for their children, leaving then unprepared for life in a country that is only 4 percent asian overall. moreover, many asians share some of their white counterpart's concerns. both groups finger newer asian immigrants for the schools' intense competitiveness.

...'it does help to have a lower asian population,' says homestead pta president mary anne norling. 'i don't think our parents are as uptight as if my kids went to monta vista.'"
