This is exactly the sort of argument made against Italians, Irish, and numerous others that have come to the U.S. It's pretty gross.

Pointing out that some of these students - not only limited to Chinese - do not integrate is not the same as being racist. That's quite a hyperbole.
But do they have to learn the local language when they don't plan to stay there indefinitely?
Interestingly for the most part these European immigrants refused to teach their children born in the USA their native languages because they were that concerned with integration.
I think it is sad that languages were not passed on but it seems that later waves of immigrants or even some groups as a whole (e.g.: Chinese, Latin Americans) are more concerned about preserving their native languages in their new country.
