What nationality was your first Asian friend?

Korean.  A wealthy young man who in the late eighties was the first person I met who talked openly and often about prostitutes.  Wonderful fellow.  He used to say that he couldn't study properly unless he was using a pretty girl's buttocks as a reading stand.

Mere days after meeting my new 'suite-mate', the randy, debauched Korean, I met my next two Asian friends - a very amusing moderately wealthy Thai (Thai-chinese) snob who was always crashing his car for no apparent reason, and a very wealthy Indonesian poon-hound whose nickname was 'Bootie' (actually short for his real name - Budiasa), who drove a Porsche 928.  I had to drive them around in their cars because the one fellow crashed so incessantly, and the Bootie was always moderately tipsy.

I didn't make any non-white friends until middle school, I think. Probably Chinese or Indian.

Jesus, you can remember 'middle school'?  I can't remember anything before college.  How old are you Boris?
