   Extractions: Everyone has a vice. Mine is email, or, more specifically, an on-again off-again addiction to the listserve of the South Asian Journalists Association. The list hosts a collection of journalists, academics, activists and students, most of whom submit to a daily barrage of junk email without having the excuse of living in boring old Princeton, New Jersey, with an Ethernet connection in the bedroom. The SAJA list is home to some of the most momentous Indian American debates of our times. Did Madonna insult Hindu culture by wearing a bindi ? Should Taco Bell be sued for giving a pious man a beef burrito when he asked for a bean burrito? Should fat white women in Queens be allowed to use mehndi ? Only rarely does an Indian American political issue rise above the din of outrage over insulted gods and stolen customs. One recurring distraction is the debate over whether Indians belong in the Asian American movement. A small but vocal minority of Indian Americans wants our relatively young community to become part of the well-entrenched, well-funded Asian American movement. They argue that piggybacking allows Indians to use Asian American cultural and legal institutions, freeing scarce resources for other activities (such as protesting mehndi abuse). They say the political clout of 10 million Asian Americans added to 1.1 million Indians will help us further our shared interests in immigration policy, prevention of hate crimes and stereotyping by the mainstream media. Some insist that Indians have no choice but to join the Asian American movement simply because the United States census counts Indians as Asians.

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_American
   
   Extractions: An Asian American is a person of Asian ancestry or origin who was born in or is an immigrant to the United States The term "Asian American" is credited to the historian Yuji Ichioka who, in the late 1960s, used it to describe members of a new pan-ethnic radical political identity who shared common histories, experiences, and goals. This term has largely replaced the politically loaded term "oriental" (that referred to Western notions of a subjugated colonial "other", fr. orientalism ), which was popularly used before the 1990s to describe East Asian peoples regardless of nationality, upbringing, or origin. Although immigrants from the " Middle East " (Western and Central Asia) are geographically Asian, they have generally neither been sufficiently visibly distinct as a group in America nor have they historically arrived in such large numbers to warrant attention as a major American racial or ethnic group until very recently (see ). As a result, they are not considered by most Americans to be typical Asians or Asian Americans, but identified by other means, such as " Arab Americans ". For these same reasons, northern Asians such as Siberians and peoples from former

   Extractions: It's official. Indian Americans are the fastest growing Asian group in the United States. The group surged by 105.9 percent between 1990 and 2000, according to the 2000 census. The population now stands close to two million. Representing the greatest growth of any Asian group in decennial census history, Indian Americans have become the third largest Asian group in the U.S. behind Chinese and Filipino Americans. "The economy definitely had something to do with this increase," Parag Khandhar, a policy associate and census coordinator at the American Federation Census Information Center told Indian online magazine rediff.com. "One obvious factor for the growth in the Indian-American community is the importing of hi-tech workers." From 1987 through 1997, on average about 35,000 Indians immigrated permanently to the United States annually. This does not include those who obtained high-skilled H-1B visas to work in the United States for up to six years. INS data for the period from May 1998 through July 1999 shows that of 134,000 new H-1B visas granted, nearly half, or 63,900, went to people from India. According to an estimate provided by the Immigration Support Network, a lobby group that works in the interests of H1-B workers, last year there were approximately 400,000 Asian Indian hi-tech visa holders in the U.S.

    Extractions: Srirajasekhar Bobby Koritala Introduction The Pioneers Coming to America The Riots ... References This is a brief historical perspective of Americans of Asian Indian origin. Having immigrated from India to the USA, I have developed a curiosity about people like myself who have moved to "Amerika". For a long time I hardly knew anything about "Indians in America". Frankly, I didn't care to know. After all I was just a student in the USA who wanted to get a great education and return home to India. But circumstances changed and I decided to become an immigrant to the USA. It was at this point that I wondered about the Indian immigrants who had come before me and made similar decisions to stay. I'd always assumed that Indians never really came to the USA until the 1960s. However, I remembered vaguely, from my high school history lessons, that there had been a group of Indian expatriates who had formed a party, called the "Ghadhar Party", in the USA to assist in India's struggle for freedom from British colonial dominion. So I had an inkling that there was more to the story than I knew. Well, the experience of researching and learning about the history of Indian immigration to the USA has been enlightening, to say the least. Mind-blowing is more like it! I had no idea. I've wanted to share this knowledge with people and that's why I've written this perspective. I don't really have the time to write in more detail, so please forgive the brief nature of this document. I have included some references at the end and I strongly encourage interested persons to look them up.

    Extractions: T hroughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Asians and Asian-Americans have called Arkansas their home. Many came to the state in order to take advantage of employment and social opportunities. However, several thousand Asians and Asian-Americans arrived in the state by force during the internment camp period of the 1940s. Today, Asian and Asian-American influence can readily be found in many towns of the Delta where generations of families have helped to develop the area. This section tells the story of the Chinese and Japanese who came to the state in the 1800s and 1900s. Back to Top

    Extractions: In response to the challenge of changing demographics more than a century ago, the San Francisco School Board established a segregated Chinese Primary School for Chinese children to attend, including those who were American-born. By the turn-of-the century after Japanese immigrants had settled in the wake of Chinese exclusion, the School Board also applied the Chinese segregation policy to Japanese students. School superintendent, Aaron Altmann, advised the city's principals: "Any child that may apply for enrollment or at present attends your school who may be designated under the head of 'Mongolian' must be excluded, and in furtherance of this please direct them to apply at the Chinese School for enrollment." Throughout their history, Asian Americans have confronted a long legacy of exclusion and inequity in relation to school policies and practices, particularly during periods of changing demographics, economic recession, or war. In spite of historic, linguistic differences, distinct Asian nationalities have been grouped together and treated similarly in schools and in the larger society. The grouping of Asian Americans together, then, makes sense in light of historic links from the past to the present.

    Extractions: Search our database by Health Topic or enter your own keywords Who are Asian American/Pacific Islander and Native Hawaiian women in the United States? Asian American/Pacific Islanders and Native Hawaiian women represent one of the fastest-growing and most diverse populations of women in the United States. Asian Americans represent a number of groups, including women from Vietnamese, Korean, Asian Indian, Japanese, Filipino, Cambodian, Laotian, and Chinese descent. Among Pacific Islanders are women who are Hawaiian, Samoan, Guamanian, Tongan, and Fijian. So, this population has a vast array of languages and cultures. Some of these women are 4th and 5th generation Asian Americans, while 75% are recent immigrants and refugees. Native Hawaiians and American Samoans are part of the Asian-American population, but they are native to this country, not immigrants. Last Updated: August 2003 Home About Us Contact Us Site Index ...

    Extractions: (c) Arthur Hu 1984-2020, please cite when using data from here on how to get more complete data or complete text of these references Some people collect stuff, this is my 15 plus years collection of racial statistics, organized around statistics for Asian Americans. Most racial statistics are given for blacks, maybe hispanics, but very few for Asians. Asians are unusual in that they have both the characteristics of disadvantaged minorities, like the African Americans, and over-achieving minorities such as the Jews and Episcopalians. What is remarkable is that, contrary to the popular thesis that Whites are always on top, and persons of color are always on the bottom because of racism, more often than not, Asians have lower rates of most headline problems. You'll almost never see them documented because of the unwritten rule that Whites must end up best and Blacks, worst. If you wander around, you'll also find evidence of when even the lower income, lower education Hispanics are better (AIDS rates, infant mortality, life expectancy) and even the few places where Blacks are better. I rank them, and figure out a conclusion instead of starting out with the conclusion and ommitting data that doesn't support it. Asians have higher household incomes are healthier , get better grades and test scores , go to the best colleges at the highest rates in the most rewarding and difficult fields commit fewer crimes , and have more solid families in terms of structure than the whites, even though they may have a higher rate of
