However, when it comes to the resources offered to Asian Americans compared to other minorities, the differences are as clear as night and day. Not underrepresented? Unlike African Americans and Latinos, who are both recognized as having full minority status at the University, Asian-American students are not placed in the same category. Both African Americans and Latinos are considered underrepresented minorities because their percentage in the undergraduate population falls beneath their respective percentages in the state population. Asian Americans comprise 11 percent of the University's undergraduate population. The total state population of Asian Americans is two percent.

Asian American From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. 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

According to US Census Data, the Asian American population consists of these percentages of ethnicities: 23.8% Chinese, 20.4% Filipino, 12.3% Japanese, 11.8% Asian Indian, 11.6% Korean and 8.9% Vietnamese. Seventy percent of US Asians are immigrants who entered the US during one of three distinct immigration waves: before 1975, between 1975-1979, and 1980 or later. Most Asian Americans who have arrived since 1965 still live in ten large metropolitan areas. In 1996, an estimated four in ten Asian Americans lived in California. These US Asian-born individuals emigrated from countries with the overall lowest breast cancer rates in the world.

Asian Americans Society tends to group all Asian Americans together. However, they are a diverse group including such ethnicities as Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Indonesian, and Vietnamese. Asian Americans face a difficult economic life in the United States. According to Joel Spring in American Education , "Cambodians, Vietnamese, and Laotians have the highest rate of welfare dependency of any racial or ethnic group in the United States" (p 131). Discrimination exists because Asian Americans are overlooked in schools. Teachers assume that these students will do well in school and neglect their educational problems. Because of this, 23% of Asian Americans do not have a high school diploma. Asian Americans are not shown role models either. Usually, they are not seen in US history books. There is also discrimination against students who do not speak English as their first language. However, it is required that schools provide these children with the extra help they need.

Community: From Segregation, Identity ... Index of Packet Documents I. INTRODUCTION One story of Washington state is a story of immigration, but it is not the simple tale of assimilation or acculturation. Immigrants brought pieces of culture from their native lands to Washington state, where they melded them with pieces taken from American culture. Immigrants did not remain unchanged or melt into a common society, however. Instead, Washington is a mosaic made of different peoples coming together to create new lives in a new land. The Asian American experience is part of this mosaic. Thedocuments that accompany this essay demonstrate how Chinese, Japanese, and Filipinos came to Washington, struggled against discrimination, labored to earn their living, and created distinctive cultures and identities. These documents chronicle, in a small way, how some Asian immigrants became Asian Americans.

Understanding Our Perceptions of Asian Americans By Peter N. Kiang, Ed. D. Graduate College of Education, University of Massachusetts at Boston Related Lesson: Perceptions: Asian Americans A waitress asked: "Where are you from?" I told her my great-grandfather came to work the mines in New Mexico. My grandfather was a tailor in Oakland and my mother was born in Stockton. And the waitress interrupted and without any hesitation said: "So how do you like your new country?" a Chinese American attorney He asked the price of beef. Then he said: "You Koreans charge too much." My brother said: "I'm not Korean, I'm Cambodian." But he's mad. He says: "You Koreans rip us off." a Cambodian-born store owner The growth and diversification of the Asian American population in recent years has been nothing short of phenomenal. Driven by sustained immigration and refugee resettlement during the 1970's and 1980's, Asian Americans have emerged as the nation's fastest growing racial group. Given that the school-age Asian American population doubled in the 1980's and is expected to double again between 1990 and 2020, our schools and the larger society must confront some critical questions. For example, what do we know and what can we teach and learn about Asian Americans? Asian Americans number more than 9.1 million in the U.S. and represent more than thirty different nationalities and ethnic groups, including Samoan, Tongan, Guamanian, and native Hawai'ian from the Pacific Islands; Lao, Hmong, Mien, Kmhmu, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Thai, Burmese, Malay, and Filipinos from Southeast Asia; Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Indian, and Sri Lankan from South Asia; Afghani and Iranian from Central Asia; and Korean, Japanese, and Chinese from East Asia. In the year 2000, the six largest Asian nationalities in the U.S. will be Filipinos, Chinese, Vietnamese, Koreans, Asian Indians, and Japanese. The diversity of Asian Americans, in terms of their various languages, cultures, and histories is remarkable.

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

Asian American Immigration CHINESE MIGRATION Beginning in the 1980s, we have been one of the fastest growing immigrant groups here in the United States. A 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act began to eliminate some of the anti-Asian racism. The act reunified families, protected the domestic labor force, and called for immigration of people with needed skills. It also made us eligible for citizenship, which we had long been waiting for. The 1965 Immigration Act abolished the national-origins quota system and created an annual quota of 20,000 of us Asians. Therefore, the amount of immigrants increased drastically as time progressed. STEREOTYPES Almost ninety percent of Chinese immigrants were women between 1946 and 1952. About 348,000 of us came here from Hong Kong and Taiwan between 1941 and 1980. Beginning in 1981, the number of immigrants increased coming from the mainland as opposed to coming from Hong Kong and Taiwan. We reached a population of 1.6 million people between 1980 and 1990. By the mid-1990s we were approximately one-third of all Asian Americans. As Chinese Americans, we are often mistaken for Vietnamese or Korean Americans. In 1994, Asian Americans were thought of as foreigners who consistently competed for jobs. We have been stereotyped as "model minorities" because we are ambitious and hard working. After the United States declared war on Japan in 1941
