In fact it is difficult to segregate locals or non-local for HK born kids with foreign passports ...
In regards to this, for some schools like YCIS with the entire school basically 95% ethnic Chinese, it is true that ethnicity is mainly a non-issue, and if they have too many applicants with local passports they'd balance off the passport nationality as per EDB requirement with HK kids holding an overseas passport. It was the same for ESF in the past, given initially they only looked at the info submitted on paper [Cat 1 or 2, plus the passport nationality stated] that's why there are lots of ethnic Chinese kids in ESF schools. With the new change we don't know for sure, but so far the primary school interview results are positive as long as the child is fluent in English.
However, many international schools does take ethnicity in addition to passport background into consideration as well. For example: With an estimation of 300,000 Cdn passport holders in HK, CDNIS has a massive amount of applicants who are ethnically Chinese but holds a Cdn passport. (A part of our city's history of mass immigration to Canada back in the 80-90's and their kids returning to HK now to live, work & raise families of their own) However, parents with kids in the school can tell you, ethnic Chinese only consists of 30% of the school's population. So they do care about the skin color in selecting students, although it is not out in the open for discussion. I believe this is the same with AISHK, given the observation by AISHK parents that there are far more expat kids than there are ethnic Chinese kids.
