Extractions: What's the Story Behind All Those Asians in the Import Scene? By Susan Kwon It started as a joke, to write a research paper on "rice rockets" for my graduate seminar class while I was at Stanford. I mean why not? My professor was so old, he couldn't care less what we wrote about. I've seen the Asian guys and girls hanging out at AMC Mercado Movie Theaters in Sunnyvale and In-N-Out Burgers in Milpitas with their souped up Honda's and Integra's. Being from LA, I knew something about "Imports" but never did I imagine that the Import scene could be so deep. So what started as a joke developed into my master's thesis. Who would have ever thought that you could get away with writing about Import cars for your master's thesis at Stanford? This article is a small part of my thesis. I present the Import scene as a unique Asian American youth subculture. I bring out the ways in which "Asianness" is asserted-a claim to Asian influence and origin of the Import subculture. My interpretation of the Import scene comes from hanging out with a specific car team in the Bay Area, which I will keep anonymous. I also attended many of the Import car shows in both Los Angeles and the Bay Area and visited many of the related websites. It is important to look at the Import subculture, made up predominantly of Asian American (including Pacific Islander) males from 16-25 year of age in a larger context of youth culture in the United States. The act of modifying the look and performance of the car has a long history in American culture. You have your white males and their "hot rodders," who modify, race and drive American cars (or "muscle cars") such as Mustangs, Chevrolets, and Impalas. You also have Latino males with their "low riders." This Import subculture shared among many Asian American youths may be viewed as an extension of a larger, male dominated, car-based cultural phenomenon. Yet

Sound-alike matching In the last few decades, Asian Americans have been attending and graduating from college in dramatic numbers, well above their overall proportion in the total U.S. population. The latest statistics from the Census show that almost 45% of all Asian American at least 25 years of age have a college degree or higher. Although many of these degrees are obtained back in their Asian country of origin before immigrant Asians came to the U.S., a large number represent degrees by foreign Asian students and U.S.-born Asian Americans.

Please enable JavaScript in your browser to maximize your experience and enjoyment at Asian-Nation. Sound-alike matching Contrary to what many may assume, Asian Americans are not reluctant to participate in politics. Yen Le Espiritu points out that next to Jews, Asian Americans contribute more money per person to political parties and candidates than any other racial/ethnic or religious group. But as past and recent history shows, that doesnt mean that Asian Americans are always welcomed in the political arena. Even back in the late 1800s, Asians mobilized their resources to lobby for equal rights and access to economic, land, and occupational opportunities that they were being denied. Up through the 1920s, over 1,000 lawsuits were filed in state and federal courts by Asian Americans seeking to receive their proper legal rights. During this time, Asian Americans also organized boycotts, circulated petitions, conducted letter-writing campaigns, published newspapers and magazines promoting their cause, and formed coalitions with several non-Asian organizations.

Extractions: Yoonsun Choi The issue of behavior problems among Asian American youth is little understood, she said. Some studies report that Asian American youth are more likely to be part of gangs and take part in violence than other groups, while other studies have an opposite finding: that Asian American youth demonstrate unusually healthy adaptation and adjustment. As a social worker, Choi has witnessed firsthand the difficulty Asian American young people face. As a social worker, she counseled young people who had difficulty reconciling their ethnic and cultural identities with their American identities. Many felt that discrimination limited their opportunities. Despite those problems, Asian Americans get stereotyped as being model minority members. Opportunities that are -available to other minority groups are not available to Asian Americans because they are not considered disadvantaged. Up to this point, studies have not adequately reconciled these opposing views, she said.

Extractions: Services Since its inception in 1998, the Wax Track Gallery International has collaborated with many organizations such as the Dell Jewish Community Center, Asian American Cultural Center, Africa Bound, The Carver Museum, The German Cultural Society, among others. This collaboration has resulted in the creation of life size statues of legendary people for these organizations. The process of creating this work begins with extensive research by our student staff usually in concert with the contracting organization. Statues are then created and are normally presented at special events or displayed on site in exhibition. We have a variety of statues of notable people from various cultures. The Gallery conducts exhibitions for educational, public, private and corporate institutions upon request. Exhibitions can remain on site for an indeterminate time period. Requests for exhibition should be given sufficient notice to allow adequate assessment of exhibition area and preparation time. The Gallery also offers consultation services to museums in the United States and abroad in the creation of statues and durable sculptured art in bronze, concrete and other mediums. We strive to enhance institutions historically and promote suggestions to increase attendance. Additional services are available to prepare and or create permanent exhibitions at your site. We offer maintenance and restoration services for exhibitions or any artifacts created by Wax Track Gallery International. Special rates are available for educational, non-profit and governmental entities.

Extractions: This comic book presents a serious subject in an engaging format a series of cartoons that illustrate the causes and effects of colonialism in India, Vietnam and the Philippines. Its nine chapters examine the motives of European colonialism, the means by which it developed, and its current ramifications in Asia. The comic book provides an excellent framework for analyzing colonialism and its effects on the government, economy and social structure of each country. In addition, the cartoons connect the development of colonialism with current problems in the former colonies (e.g. the rise of multinational corporations, military dictatorships). The book is presented in a useful format for teachers. Each chapter includes discussion questions that enable students to think deeper about colonialism and its effects. The last chapter includes classroom activities that supplement each previous chapter. Teachers are recommended to use the book alongside conventional textbooks to discuss bias in history, as the books bias against colonialism can be contrasted with the bias of textbook accounts.
