Michelle Kwan Asian Americans Who Have Made a Difference Duke Kahanamoku (Photo Corbis) King of the Waves Duke Kahanamoku came to be known as the father of international surfing, but the Hawaiian native made his first splash as a swimmer at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden. Born in Honolulu in 1890, Kahanamoku struck gold by setting a world record in the 100-meter free-style and earned a silver medal in the 200-meter relay. He won two more golds at the 1920 Antwerp Olympics, a silver at the 1924 Paris Olympics, and a bronze at the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics. Kahanamoku's swimming and surfing talents caught the attention of Hollywood, and over the course of nine years, he appeared in nearly 30 movies. Kahanamoku went on to serve as sheriff for the City and County of Honolulu for 26 years. When the legendary swimmer and surfer died at the age of 77, he was remembered for his athletic talent and sportsmanship.

When Dr. Ho arrived in Vienna in 1937 as a Chinese diplomat, Austria had the third largest Jewish community in Europe. Just one year later, however, the Nazis took over Austria and began persecuting Jews. Although they tried to flee, Austrian Jews had nowhere to go because most of the world's nations would not accept Jewish refugees. Against all odds, many would survive thanks to Dr. Ho. As Chinese General Consul in Vienna, he went against his boss' orders and began issuing Jews visas to Shanghai, China. These lifesaving documents allowed thousands of Jews to leave Austria and escape death. After 40 years of diplomatic service that included ambassadorships to Egypt, Mexico, Bolivia, and Colombia, Dr. Ho retired to San Francisco, California. At age 89, he published his memoirs, "Forty Years of My Diplomatic Life." Dr. Ho died in 1997, an unknown hero of World War II.

UNDERSTANDING DISCRIMINATION AGAINST ASIAN-AMERICANS Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders number about 9 million in the U.S., constituting about 3% of the U.S. population, mostly residing in California, New York, or the racial paradise of Hawaii. They make up about 65% of the world population. They have been stereotyped as the "model minority" because the substantial majority are college-educated with middle- or upper-income occupations, but others, an estimated 12%, are employed in low-paying service jobs or sweatshops. An Asian American is one and a half times more likely to have a bachelor's degree than a white non-Latino, and Asian-Americans, in general, have average or above-average income levels (an estimated 30% higher than whites, according to some figures). Asian American immigrant history is essentially labor history. Chinese immigration began in 1850-1880 from the Fukien and Kwangtung provinces to provide cheap labor on the nation's railway system and feed the American gold rush frenzy. These were turbulent times, and the U.S. had a crisis called the "yellow peril", a 19th Century belief that Asians constituted a threat to Western civilization. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 brought a halt to almost all Chinese immigration until about 1943, when Chinese workers were brought in to contribute to the U.S. War effort in the nation's defense plants. Other Chinese Americans opened laundries, stores, and restaurants where they initially did business primarily with each other. Recent waves of Chinese immigrants have included scientists, students, asylees, and parolees. Like immigrants from

However, too many Asian Pacific Islander Americans have been forgotten by the Bush Administration. Today's meeting with Members of Congress, state and local elected officials and APIA leaders was a great opportunity to share our common vision for an America that celebrates diversity, embraces inclusion and opens doors of opportunity. I look forward to our continued dialogue as we work together to build a stronger America."

Latest News Press Releases Online Library Beginner's Guide ... Contact Joslin Diabetes Growing Rapidly in Asian Americans Are Westernized Eating Habits, Sedentary Lifestyle To Blame? Why? "While not a lot of research has been done to date, we think the dramatic rise may be a result of a more Westernized lifestyle," says William Hsu, MD, of Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston. "Asian Americans are eating a more Westernized diet that includes a lot more high calorie foods and animal fat than their ancestors and relatives in Asia ate," he notes. "And they are leading a more sedentary lifestyle. If you superimpose these lifestyle differences on a population that is genetically more likely to develop diabetes, it's not surprising that we are seeing more diabetes in Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders." Asian American eating habits vary from eating styles in Asia The diet that Chinese people eat in China, for example, is much different from the stereotypical diet one experiences in a typical Chinese restaurant in the US, Dr. Hsu notes. In China, meals are rice-based with plenty of vegetables and fruit. Meat is treated more like a side dish or for flavoring. Just the opposite occurs in the United States, with most American meals placing the heaviest emphasis on the meat portion of the meal. This emphasis results in meals that are significantly higher in calories and fat.

About ModelMinority.com: A Guide to Asian American Empowerment As diverse and rapidly changing as the society we live in, Asian Americans do not conform to any single description.  Despite this, Americans reluctant to address the realities of continuing racism and white privilege have consistently portrayed Asian Americans as a "model minority" who have uniformly succeeded by merit. While superficially complimentary to Asian Americans, the real purpose and effect of this portrayal is to celebrate the status quo in race relations.  First, by over-emphasizing Asian American success, it de-emphasizes the problems Asian Americans continue to face from racial discrimination in all areas of public and private life.   Second, by misrepresenting Asian American success as proof that America provides equal opportunities for those who conform and work hard, it excuses American society from careful scrutiny on issues of race in general, and on the persistence of racism against Asian Americans in particular.

Approximately 75% of the Pacific Islanders population live in just two states – California and Hawaii. Asian American population nearly doubled in size from an estimated 3.5 million in 1980 to almost 7 million in 1990, while Pacific Islanders population grew by 41% between 1980 (259,566) and 1990 (365,024).
