Notes on Asian Americans Back to Contents I. Two primary characteristics of Americans of Asian Descent are GROWTH AND DIVERSITY (see Parrillo: Chapter 8). They comprise a diverse group that is one of the fastest-growing segments of the U.S. population. They are erroneously viewed as a MODEL MINORITY that has overcome discrimination. This image disguises lingering maltreatment and denies them the opportunities afforded other racial minorities. A. GROWTH as of 1990, there were 6.5 million people of Asian descent in this country up from 1.4 million in 1970. 1. Asian Americans comprise 3 percent of the U.S. population the third largest minority population in this country. 2. Between 1981 and 1990, over 2.73 million Asians migrated to the United States which was 37.3 percent of the total number of immigrants coming to this country during that period. (If you take out Jordanians, Turks, Israelis, Irainans, and Lebanese, the figure drips to 2.71 or 33.9 percent). a. The countries providing the largest number of immigrants during this period were: Immigration between 1981 and 1990 (2.7m)

The Arab-American population is quite young, many in their childbearing years or native born children and teenagers. They are better educated than the average American. Among blacks, French-speaking Haitian-born Americans often have little in common with those that are U.S.-born. Seventy percent of Asian Americans arrived here since 1970.

In this paper, I will explore some of the dominant discursive models of Southeast Asians operative within academic and popular culture: the scholarly and non-scholarly tendencies of viewing recently resettled people from Vietnam, Cambodia/Kampuchea and Laos as refugees, migrants, immigrants, ethnics, and as racial minorities."

BY RICHARD E. LAPCHICK ... Richard E. Lapchick CLICK HERE to go to Richard's Article Index. Sport in Society is proud to support at ESPN Asian American Athletes: The Past, Current and Future by Richard E. Lapchick Special for ESPN.com Discussions about race and sport in America have almost always been about African Americans and whites. During the final years of the 20th Century the discussion broadened to include Latinos. As we begin Asian American History Month (May, 2002), it is obvious that the fastest growing population group in our nation lags far behind African Americans and Latinos as participants in sport at all levels ­ from youth sport through college and pro sport. Asian athletes don' t seem to play in significant numbers and certainly are not involved in running our games in any noteworthy way. In this article I will try to examine why this is the case, if it willf change, and, if it does, will there be significant consequences. I think this is important because I think participation in sports is beneficial for a number of reasons from better health, learning about teamwork, about winning and losing, building self-esteem, and building friendships across racial and ethnic lines. The list of positive effects is even larger for females who gain even more health and social benefits from playing sports.

Ancestors in the Americas Series Overview Ancestors in America is designed as the first major television series to offer the general public an in-depth historical understanding of one of the fastest growing and least known groups of immigrants in the U.S. Asian Americans. We take as our point of departure, that the diversity of Asian groups in America - Chinese, Filipinos, Koreans, Japanese, Asian Indians, and Southeast Asians - all have fundamental historical experiences in common, both in Asia and in America. To launch Ancestors we start with a 3 part series focusing on the Chinese as the first large Asian immigrant subgroup to settle in the United States. Program 1: Coolies, Sailors, Settlers: Voyage to the New World (completed) Program 2: Chinese in the Frontier West:An American Story (completed) Program 3: Crossing the Continent; Crossing the Pacific (In-progress) Designed as an open ended 3-part series , additional programs which foreground the other Asian American groups, also within a comparative Asian American perspective, will be produced as funding and support becomes available. A comparative perspective underlies the series as a whole with a variety of questions posed, all of which begin with the fateful fact that Asian Americans were distinctively both immigrant and a racial minority: As immigrants, can the experiences of Asian immigrants be considered just a variant on those of Euro-immigrants? (i.e., do Asian American immigrants follow the familiar formula of initial hardship and social discrimination, yielding to acceptance/assimilation within a lifetime, generation or two, and ultimately, mobility , earned success, and integration as Americans?

Be skeptical when you read the career placement statistics reported by the schools. The median salaries tend to be high because most of the companies recruiting on campus are consulting fims and investment banks that pay the highest starting salaries. To get their money worth, these firms work their associates over eighty hours per week. If you calculate the hourly rate, it often comes out to be no higher than that of an average corporate job. Very few associates can survive the grueling hours, and the turnover rates are extremely high. This is why these firms are the biggest recruiters on campus every year.

APIAHF Comments to AAMC Regarding Definition of Underrepresented Minority Submitted 5/05/02 May 15, 2002 Charles Terrell, Ed.D Division of Community and Minority Programs Associate Vice President 2450 N Street, NW. Rm 255 Washington, DC 20037 Re: Definition of Underrepresented Minority (URM) Dear Dr. Terrell: We are writing to support changing the current Association of American Medical Colleges’ (AAMC) definition of “Underrepresented Minority” (URM). We believe the current definition to be inadequate in addressing the health provider needs of medically underserved populations in the U.S. Demographic Changes The current definition of URM was developed in 1970 and has not been changed significantly in spite of large changes in the demographics of the nation. Between 1970 and 2000, the overall Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) population has grown at a rate faster than any other minority population. Between 1990 and 2000 alone, the Asian American population increased by 72%, and the “Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander” population increased by 140%. These increases include those individuals who identified themselves as multiracial (i.e., AAPI and other race). The populations of Cambodian, Hmong, Laotian, Vietnamese, Samoan, Tongan, Guamanian/Chamorro, as well as many other AAPI groups, have seen similar dramatic increases in numbers and percentages. Heterogeneity of “Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders” Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are an extremely heterogeneous group, encompassing more than a hundred different languages and dialects, diverse cultural backgrounds, and unique immigration experiences. Many of these groups suffer from high rates of poverty and low rates of education, yet are not now considered Underrepresented Minorities. As an example, for many of the groups, college graduation rates are far below the national average. Overall in the U.S., 20.3% of the population in 1990 held a bachelor’s degree or higher. However, only 17.4% of Vietnamese, 5.7% of Cambodians, 5.4% of Laotians, 4.9% of Hmong, 11.8% of Hawaiians, 10.0% of Guamanians, 8.0% of Samoans, 7.5% of Melanesians, and 5.8% of Tongans held a bachelor’s degree or higher.

Front Page In This Week's Issue Subscribe Special ... About AsianWeek May 24-30, 1996 Why we need Heritage Month By Emil Guillermo I went up to the first Asian American guy I saw this month and gave him my standard greeting in May. I stuck out my hand, beamed, and said, loudly, ãHey, Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month!ä It was loud enough so that all the non-Asian types around me could experience it too. Thatâs what the month is supposed to be about. Letting people know about us. Instead, I learned about us. This man, an acquaintance, was caught totally by surprise. Heâs like a lot of Asian Americans in the Bay Area: bright, successful to a point, living in silent satisfaction. I figured maybe he thought I was a Spanish guy, with a name like Guillermo. Still, his embarrassment over my greeting stunned me. A ãMerry Christmasä he wouldâve handled. Maybe even a ãHappy Columbus Day.ä People respect Columbus. He gave them a day off. But a ãHappy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month?ä Forget it. The man didnât mention anything more about it. Instead, he tried to pretend that I never even mentioned it. And then he gave me a look as if I had the ãcootiesä or something approximating mad cow disease. Or, since Iâm vegetarian, a case of mad tofu. Itâs an amok derivative, whatever it is. That has been my lone APA Heritage Month experience. There havenât been many for me this year. But Iâm still trying to get in the spirit.

A Pictorial Walk Through the 20 th Century The Asian American in Mining Introduction The month of May has been officially designated as Asian American Heritage Month. The term "Asian American" is such a broad one that there seems to be no clear consensus as to exactly which ethnic groups should be included in this term. Asian Americans have been defined as those with Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Asian Indian, Korean, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Laotian, Thai and a host of other ethnic backgrounds. We have designed this WebPage feature in an effort to share information and pay tribute to those of Asian American ancestry for their contributions to mine health and safety. Because it is impossible to cover such a large subject in the space permitted, we have made a decision to concentrate on the contributions of Chinese miners in the gold fields of the American West. In future installments, we would like to feature other Asian American groups and would appreciate any information that you might have to share on this subject.

ON THE TOWN They Do Sushi (And More) Right The Washington Post Weekend / Friday, March 3, 2000 O KAY, IT'S clear by now that Americans do sushi. As a matter of fact, we overdo sushi.Americans frequently make entire meals of sushi, whereas the Japanese more often consider it a course among sever- al others. Partly it's that we consider it health food, which it can be, though perhaps not so much in the amounts we consume. (Some people treat it as a sort of a junk food junkie's night out, so overdosed with soy sauce and wasabi that it might as well be nachos on the half-shell.) - Fare Minded - But if you decide to open a Japanese restaurant in a mini-strip alongside a waste transfer station with limited visibility, not much more parking and access from only one side of a jam- packed highway, you'd better develop a regular clientele - and fast. Hence the emphasis in the name Momo Taro Sushi Japanese Restaurant, which lies in the former no-man's-land below Shady Grove Road that is gradually being closed in upon from the north (Gaithersburg) and south (the King Farm development).
