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.

Extractions: Needs of Asian American Students in Philadelphia The population of Asian American students in the School District of Philadelphia has grown some 400% within the past fifteen years from 2,500 to approximately 10,000. The challenges facing the District in meeting the needs of this ever-growing population remain great. Within the School District of Philadelphia, the major Asian ethnic groups are: Chinese, Korean (East Asians), Vietnamese, Cambodian, Hmong, Laotian (Southeast Asians), and Indian, Pakistani and Bengali (South Asians). Asian American students tend to be found in pockets throughout the District, with significant numbers in the Furness, South Philadelphia, Olney, Fels, Northeast, CHAIN and Bartram clusters. The history of Asian American presence in the United States is unique because it has been sharply defined by the history of U.S. immigration law (see section on Immigration ). Since racially discriminatory immigration laws effectively barred the immigration of Asians to the United States until 1965, most Asian Americans, particularly on the East Coast, are first or second generation immigrants. In Philadelphia, the majority are first generation immigrants. This means that for most of the students in our classrooms, English is a second language, even if they were born in the United States. Finally, Asian American history and experiences still remain largely invisible in textbooks and curricula nationally. For Asian American children in the District, this invisibility exacerbates feelings of marginalization and distance from the learning process. This invisibility can also affect non-Asian American students in profound ways. Without the knowledge base a culturally inclusive education can provide to them, they may continue to view Asian American students as "foreign" or "exotic" and lack the skills necessary to understand the full diversity of the American experience and the global society that they will inherit.

Extractions: Asian Pacific American Studies Introduction Who are Asian Pacific Americans? The term Asian Pacific American is a political label that lumps together some 34 ethnic groups who speak more than 300 languages and dialects. The most prominent Asian American ethnic groups in the U.S. include Chinese, Japanese, Korean (East Asians), Filipino, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Laotian, Hmong (Southeast Asians) and Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Bengali (South Asians). Pacific Islander ethnic groups include native Hawaiian, Samoan, and Chamorro, the native people of Guam. Within the city of Philadelphia, the major Asian ethnic groups include Chinese, Korean (East Asians), Vietnamese, Cambodian, Hmong, Laotian (Southeast Asians), and Indian, Pakistani and Bengali (South Asians). There are pockets of Asian communities throughout the City, with significant numbers in the Furness, South Philadelphia, Olney, Fels, Northeast, CHAIN and Bartram clusters. Within and among these various ethnic groups, there are significant differences of culture, history, immigration history and socioeconomic status. Because this essay focuses predominantly on the history and issues pertaining to Asian ethnic groups, the term "Asian American" will be used throughout except when Pacific Islander groups are included, in which case the broader term "Asian Pacific American" will be used. Asian American communities have diverse class structures and immigration histories, but Asian ethnic groups are often lumped together and viewed monolithically. When teaching about Asian American history and experiences, it is important to examine the diversity of experience that reflects Asian America.

Extractions: [Read the story. I found Claudia Kolker's article thought-provoking but ultimately unsatisfying, because she takes it for granted that little Osama's father killed him, without offering readers the evidence that led to his conviction. I understand the point that Muslims too can be in denial about aspects of their culture, but citing the erroneous rumors about little Osama's case that were spread in Pakistan, a Pakistani's "expert" take on his culture's parental homicide tendencies, ambiguous theories by the prosecutor, and retracted confessions by little Osama's parents are not enough to convince me of Kolker's basic assumption: Mohammad Nasir's guilt. I also understand that wasn't Kolker's primary intention; she didn't set out to prove his guilt but it would've been helpful if she had included those details that seem to have her and the jury convinced. If her citations are all she and the jury had to go on, I'm still skeptical, and now I have to go satisfy my curiosity elsewhere. C.E.G.

Extractions: Immigrants are "first-generation" ; their children are "second-generation"; their grandchildren are "third-generation"; etc. The different Asian communities often adapt and add to this terminology to better describe themselves to each other and sometimes those terms are picked up and used by Asian America. There is often a big cultural gap between the first generation (who grew up overseas) and later generations (who grew up here) and is the topic of tons of Asian American literature. Often, language is lost somewhere between the first and third generation - making it hard for the different generations to communicate with each other. This further excaborates the gap.
