Extractions: The Acting Assistant Secretary for Health chaired a cross-cutting review of progress on Healthy People 2000 objectives for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs). As lead agency, the Office of Minority Health presented an overview that focused on improving data, increasing access to and utilization of preventive health services, and Healthy People 2010 development. This progress review was held in San Francisco at the "Voices from the Community" conference, sponsored by the Asian and Pacific Islander American Health Forum and other AAPI collaborating organizations. Not only was this the first review ever held outside of Washington, DC, it was also the first progress review to be taped for rebroadcast on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Public Health Training Network. The following objectives were considered in the overview and discussion: From 1987 to 1994, the percentage of Southeast Asian men who smoked decreased from 55 percentage to 23.1 percent. However, the data used to track this objective are from different sources and are not directly comparable. According to self-reported data, smoking prevalence among Asian American women is typically less than 10 percent. However, biochemical verification tests in a National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute-sponsored study showed that smoking rates among AAPI women are two to three times higher than self-reported data. Although not targeted in Healthy People 2000, suicide among the AAPI population was discussed in the progress review. The suicide rate among AAPIs in California is similar to the 6.6 per 100,000 rate for the total U.S. population. In Hawaii, the rate jumps to 11.2 per 100,000, above the 10.8 per 100,000 rate for all people residing there. Asian American women have the highest suicide rate among women aged 65 and older.

Extractions: 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

http://www.searac.org/commun.html

Extractions: Cambodian Hmong (from the northern mountains of Laos), Lao , and Vietnamese — entered the U.S. as refugees or as relatives of refugees at various times after the end of the Vietnam War. They began to relocate to this country in 1975, when the American-supported South Vietnamese government succumbed to the military pressures of their Communist neighbors to the north. In that same year, the Communist Pathet Lao defeated the US-supported government in Laos, and in 1976 the US-supported Cambodian government was toppled by the infamous Khmer Rouge. Southeast Asian arrivals to this country increased dramatically in the late 1970s and 1980s, with the influx of Vietnamese "boat people," the flight across the Mekong River of hundreds of thousands of Hmong and Lao refugees from Laos, and the escape of hundreds of thousands of Cambodians from the Khmer Rouge government in Cambodia. Current estimates are that 1,342,532 Southeast Asian refugees entered the United States between 1975 and 1998. As the population table shows, current estimates place the total number of Southeast Asian Americans at nearly 1.5 million, including 955,264 Vietnamese, 195,917 Hmong, 176,148 Cambodians, and 135,423 Laotians (not including Hmong). California, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and the State of Washington have the highest Cambodian populations; California, Minnesota, and Wisconsin have the highest Hmong populations; Lao populations are highest in California, Wisconsin, and Minnesota; and Vietnamese populations are highest in California and Texas.
