I mean I always see them in flocks and they seem to keep their circle to be in their own country. Like yellow asians only. (sorry if that is a rude term but I don't know how else to tell them apart from other Asian countries). Does it have to do with their language? Do they feel more comfortable hanging out with a group that they can talk in their native tongue? I would love to have some Japanese/Korean/Chinese friends but they all look so rude and so it's hard to even start a conversation with them.

I am of Japanese heritage, and my sister in law is Korean.
Her family had some misgivings. But it is a successful union.
Until recent years, Koreans even outlawed all pop culture from Japan. To understand Japanese people, one has to understand the culture. We did do alot of bad to alot of people. I am not proud of it. If I was Japanese, and not American....I would be ostracized for saying that I am not proud of our Japanese soldiers. One man of political importance was even assassinated for saying we should apologize. I don't suppose people who are not Japanese would understand the way Japanese people stick together as a point of honor. But the Chinese have also done their share of raping and killing of those who are weaker. And as a rule, many Japanese bear no ill will for the raids and eventual A-bombing of our country by Americans. Apologies are meaningless in this respect. Empty words will not build bridges nor will it bring back the dead. In short, it's really just misgivings passed down to children for deeds long since done.

oohhh....its a long story, many years of history are behind this.
a long long time ago, the japanese invaded china for no reason and killed millions of chinese, they did similar things to korea as well...I'm chinese and i still am slightly racist towards japanese becuz of this...and also to this day the japanese still haven't apoligized for this. This is why asians kind of hate eachtother.
p.s- a lot of asians grew up in america while their parenst still tried to raise them the asian way...this leads to an identity crisis and that might create insecurity which makes them less likely to want to talk to u or anybody...anyways i hope this helps!

Koreans and the Japanese tend to have some bad blood between them.

If they're all so rude, why are you after them?
I'm Korean, BTW. We're not that fascinating. Believe me.
I don't even stick with my own kind, though. I like diversity, and am not really fasinated with my own race at all. Asians interact with each other, it's called the "Pan-Asian" movement, but only in like Seattle and L.A.
Anyway, disown them if they're "rude."

it's a lot to do with the language..unless they both speak english fluently to communicate cause most north east asians only speak the language of their own country

Like anyone, ya must have a connection. So start making some.
