Well Grego that could be the point,Asian women who enter the country as wives(perhaps in an arranged marriage) seldom seek work and so become even more isolated and insular.
As for the latest influx of east europeans well time will tell.Our country has always managed to absorb and thrive on immigration.The Irish,Italians and West Indians spring to mind.Though I think of these three examples, two at least shared some common language which helped.
