Photo Caption: Intelligence personnel of the 2d Infantry Division question a captured Korean guerilla. October 1950 Background: World War II Substantial numbers of Asian-Americans served in America's armed forces during World War II, but the total number is unknown. Some 25,000 Japanese-Americans had proved their loyalty in uniform. More than 6,000 Nisei (first-generation, American-born Japanese) trained as interpreters and translators at the Army's Military Intelligence Service (MIS) Language School in Minnesota and 3,700 MIS linguists served in combat. The U.S. Army's 442d Regimental Combat Team (RCT), comprised of about 4,500 Japanese-Americans, fought heroically in Italy and Central Europe. The unit received more than 18,000 individual decorations and seven Presidential Unit Citations. More than 20,000 Chinese Americans served in the armed forces, many as integrated members of Army units. Smaller numbers of Filipino-Americans and Korean-Americans formed small units for the nation's war effort. Numbers Served and Their Jobs Unlike in World War II when there was the Japanese-American 442d RCT, there were no separate Asian-American units during the Korean War. The Department of the Army dropped the designation "Asian-American" after World War II, so even an approximate number for the Korean War has not been determined. But the National Japanese-American Historical Society has estimated that 5,000 Nisei served in Korea with American forces and concluded that 213 of them lost their lives. Several units did remain predominantly Asian-American like the 100th Battalion, 442d Infantry, U.S. Army Reserve and the 5th Regimental Combat Team, both from Hawaii.

Data were collected by means of the 1992-94 National Health Interview Survey. National estimates of household and individual characteristics, disease incidence and prevalence, general health status measures, and health services utilization are presented from data pooled from basic questionnaire and special topic questionnaires. Data Highlights: A greater age-adjusted percent of Vietnamese (17.2 percent) and Korean (12.8 percent) persons had fair or poor respondent-assessed health status. Age-adjusted data showed a higher percent of Korean adult smokers (22.5 percent) than Chinese or Asian Indian adults (10.0 and 8.7 percent respectively). A higher percent of Vietnamese (21.2 percent) and Asian Indian (18.0 percent) adults reported knowing nothing about AIDS compared with Japanese adults (5.1 percent).

Related Links Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and Tobacco Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are persons of Asian or Pacific Islander ancestry whose origins are from China and Mongolia to the north, Indonesia to the south, the Indian subcontinent to the west, and the U.S.-related Pacific Islands to the east. The six largest subgroups of Asian Americans are from China, the Philippines, Japan, Asian India, Korea, and Vietnam. Hawaiians, Samoans, and Guamanians are the three largest Pacific Islander subgroups. Although Asian Americans reside across the country, approximately 66% live in California, Hawaii, Illinois, New York, and Texas. Approximately 75% of the Pacific Islanders population live in just two states – California and Hawaii. Asian American population nearly doubled in size from an estimated 3.5 million in 1980 to almost 7 million in 1990, while Pacific Islanders population grew by 41% between 1980 (259,566) and 1990 (365,024). Health Effects Smoking is responsible for 87% of the lung cancer deaths in the United States. In 1993, lung cancer was the leading cause of cancer death (22.3%) among Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.

Diverse Communities Asian Americans and Philanthropy Resources Endnotes Back to Diverse Communities Introduction Credit/Contact ... Back to New Donors/New Giving section - James Joseph i Like many other immigrant and ethnic communities, the contribution of time, energy, goods and money in less formal and more personal ways has been enormous and pervasive throughout their history in the U.S. and continues in dynamic fashion today. Philanthropy directed to those within extended family and social networks is commonplace and extensive among all Asian American and Pacific Islanders immigrant communities. This informal philanthropy coupled with the structure of extended family are the supporting structures for the survival and eventual success of countless Asian immigrants and their off-spring. ii However, there is a movement towards more formal philanthropy with the creation of community funds and organizations that focus on Asian American and Pacific Islanders' needs such as the Asian Pacific Community Fund, the Asian Pacific American Community Fund and Asian American and Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy organization. Asian American and Pacific Islanders immigrant communities have long been known for their self-help and mutual assistance strategies to build community infrastructure, as well as to help individuals and families adjust to the United States and get an initial step up on the economic ladder. These practices continue today through direct giving to friends and relatives and through giving to a variety of ethnic associations and faith-based organizations. The main vehicles for charitable giving among Asian Americans include:

He conducted the necessary research to prepare this report. The Institute thanks Lieutenant Hays for his contributions to the research efforts of DEOMI. ASIAN-PACIFIC-AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH INTRODUCTION Because of a predominantly English heritage in the colonial period, the United States often has evaluated its varied citizenries' neighborliness and social inclusion (assimilation) by a single standard: White, Anglo-Saxon, middle-class Protestant. PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to provide a brief history of Asian-Pacific-American immigration; the impact of Asian Pacific Americans on business, education, and the political process; and contributions of Asian-Pacific-Americans to the Department of Defense. For purposes of uniformity, categories of Asian-Pacific- Americans are reported according to those used in the 1990 United States Census, and are not intended to exclude the contributions or diminish the importance of any group.

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
