GOLDSEA FEATURES ASIAN DIXIE Page 3 of 8 As Houston's Vietnamese community blossomed in the 1990s, the city's non-Vietnamese population discovered Vietnamese cuisine. During the 1992 Republican convention several Vietnamese restaurants were among those recommended by local guides. Today Houston's Vietnamese population is second only to that of Orange Country, California, and La's restaurants grosses $2 million a year. But an ever-growing portion is from the new Caucasian clientele that is gradually driving his Vietnamese following to less trendy eateries. "Now we have a face. Before it was just Blacks, Hispanics and Whites." "It was difficult in the beginning because we didn't have all the Vietnamese ingredients," La says, "but now I don't see any disadvantage to living here. The population is very large, and all the supplies we need for Vietnamese cooking are available." Several blighted Houston neighborhoods have received a much-needed injection of commercial energy from Asian immigrants ranging from Southeast Asian refugees to Hong Kong tycoons. Their efforts have built a second Chinatown and new Korean, Vietnamese and Thai districts. And Asian American professionals by the thousands have relocated to service these newly Americanized consumers. The influx of Asians infused the city's small but old Asian establishment with new political clout. Houston's Chinese and Japanese communities date back to the late 19th century, when displaced Chinese railroad workers and Japanese laborers settled there. Small in numbers, their presence attracted little notice from the white, black and Hispanic communities. Some Asians acquired economic clout with the success of their businesses, but even well into the 1970s the community¹s small numbers minimized political influence.

However, this number represents an increase of 63% from the 1990 census, making Asian Americans the fastest growing of all the major racial/ethnic groups in the U.S., in terms of percentage growth. But in so many ways, the presence of Asian Americans is much more prominent than even these numbers suggest.

In addition to all of the regular activities, HAAP and eight other community based and health related organizations jointly sponsored a free health seminar and screenings. BCCCP information was distributed to increase Hmong women’s awareness of breast and cervical cancer preventative screenings. In recruiting Hmong for BCCCP, Chou Lee has had the most success meeting with women individually to discuss breast and cervical cancer screening. She reports that Hmong women are very apprehensive about openly discussing such a personal issue. To successfully recruit Hmong women into the program, she relies on using her network of family, friends, and acquaintances.

Gangbangers, sex robots, and babydykes, oh my! BY GARY MORRIS Now in its 19 th year, the San Francisco International Asian-American Film Festival (SFIAAFF) has become an increasingly plush and rather important venue for showcasing recent cinema from countries as disparate as Japan , Korea, India , the Philippines , China, and Hong Kong , and the Asian diaspora scattered throughout the U.S., Canada Australia docs , and shorts compilations, runs the gamut from the tired to the transcendent, stopping at all points in between. Some of the higher-profile entries are surprisingly disappointing, but there are plenty of gems hidden in the less heralded films. The Flip Side The Flip Side , a U.S./Philippine production directed by Rod Pulido, mines familiar territory in a too-familiar way to be very effective. Hunky Darius Delacruz (Verwin Gatpandan) returns from college obsessed with reintroducing his family to traditional Filipino culture — no easy task with a sister who’s an Americanized mallrat, a brother who copies the local gangstas, and parents who are caught between the old world and the new. Director Pulido writes some good laughs, and there are a few arresting images — some viewers will appreciate Gatpandan’s red-hot "Filipino jockstrap" scenes — but there’s little that’s new here. The Debut is in some ways akin to an old Hollywood musical . This well-acted but sometimes shaky melodrama wisely backgrounds the narrative to scenes of traditional Filipino entertainment, with a dynamic "bamboo dance" being especially entrancing. As in

New Census 2000 results show that the Chinese and Filipino American communities remain the first and second largest Asian subgroups in the U.S., respectively. However, unparalleled growth in the Indian and Vietnamese American communities between 1990 and 2000 has added to the increasing diversity of the Asian American communities of the U.S. This analysis, conducted by the Asian American Federation Census Information Center (Federation CIC), is based upon a Census 2000 profile , released today by the Commerce Department's Census Bureau. As illustrated in Table 1, while Chinese Americans still constitute the largest Asian subgroup in the U.S., with the population growing 48% from 1.6 million in 1990 to nearly 2.5 million and Filipino Americans second with close to 1.9 million in 2000, the growth rate in the Indian and Vietnamese American communities between 1990 and 2000 is substantially greater, at 106% and 83% respectively. The Indian American community grew from 815,447 in 1990 to 1,678,765 in 2000, while Vietnamese Americans went from 614,547 in 1990 to 1,122,528 in 2000. The Korean American community grew from 798,849 to 1.1 million nationally, a growth rate of 35% over the same period. The Japanese American community is the only major Asian subgroup that showed a decline in population, now numbering 796,700, down 6% from 847,562 in 1990.

HOME The News Journal Local Business ... Feedback TODAY IS Saturday, June 12 , 2004 Asian businesses grow in state Delaware ranks 14th in the nation By JONATHAN D. EPSTEIN Staff reporter Nearly 3 percent of small businesses in Delaware are owned by Asian Americans, ranking Delaware 14th in the nation, according to data released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau. Asian Americans own 1,500 of the state's companies, putting Delaware just below Alaska. The First State is ahead of No. 21 Pennsylvania, but behind New Jersey and Maryland, which are fourth and fifth, respectively. Nationwide, 4.4 percent of 20.8 million businesses are owned by Asians and Pacific Islanders, generating 2 percent of all sales receipts, according to the 1997 report from the Economic Census, a division of the Census Bureau. "I'm not surprised that Asian Americans rank relatively high in [the mid-Atlantic region], because Asian Americans like to live and do business in the metropolitan areas," said Sun Shin, a commercial loan officer at WSFS Financial Corp. and manager of the United Asian Bank division based in Elkins Park, Pa. By contrast, Delaware has one of the worst rankings for businesses owned by American Indians. Just 300 businesses, or about 0.2 percent, are owned by American Indians or Alaskan natives giving Delaware the 46th spot among the 50 states and Washington, D.C.
