Hangook-Meegook Online "Hey, Look! There's Another Asian!" "Obsession with Hawaii" "Korean or American?" ... Email Me "Asian-American on the Edge of Nowhere" by Tammy S. Conard-Salvo When I was growing up, being Korean-American meant that you ate kimchi with your steak. And in a military town, it usually meant that your mom was Korean and that your dad was American-be it African-American, Hispanic-American, or Caucasian-American. However, in 1999, identifying oneself as a Korean-American is a political and emotional choice, one that is consciously chosen and not taken for granted. I am Korean-American-I choose to identify myself as such. And in some ways, this is an unconscious decision, because that is what I am. I cannot help but be Korean-American. But what does that mean in terms of living in West Texas? For me, it means not having a community of other Korean-Americans with which to bond or share ideas. It means being ethnically and politically isolated. So here I am in Lubbock, where I teach composition and literature at Texas Tech University. I ended up here because I chose to complete a master’s degree here, right after I finished my bachelor’s at Howard Payne University in Brownwood, Texas-another small, ethnically challenged community. I have lived here since the spring of 1996, and now that I am finished with my master’s, I continue to live here because my husband is finishing up his PhD. Living in Lubbock has definitely been a challenge. It is definitely larger than Brownwood, and there are Hispanic and African-American communities, along with a smaller group of Asian-Americans made up of Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese, among others. There isn’t, however, a strong sense of community among these Asian-Americans, and certainly there is no sense of a university community among Asian-American students. The situation is somewhat difficult to describe, especially if anyone has ever lived in a place where there is a strong sense of pride in one’s Asian heritage or if there is a strong politically involved community of Asian-Americans. I often get the sense that the concept "Asian-American," is absent in Lubbock, simply because many Asian exchange students attend the university and plan to return to their homeland once they have completed their degrees. Asians and those who may identify themselves as Asian-Americans are still seen as foreigners.

Search our database by Health Topic or enter your own keywords WOMEN OF COLOR HEALTH DATA BOOK FACTORS AFFECTING THE HEALTH OF WOMEN OF COLOR Asian Americans Although health issues for Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans often are analyzed jointly, in this fact book the groups are separated. Native Pacific Islanders are considered Native Americans and are discussed with American Indians/Alaska Natives. (See discussion of Pacific Islanders in section on Native Americans.) Asian populations are discussed together. This change is made because native Pacific Islanders are only 5 percent of the Asian and Pacific Islander total and often have health outcomes more akin to those of American Indians/Alaska Natives than to Asian subpopulations. In addition, native Pacific Islanders are not immigrants to the United States as are Asian populations. Thus, an effort has been made throughout to disaggregate Asians from Pacific Islanders whenever possible, and to display data for the groups separately. Aggregate statistics for Asians and Pacific Islanders are used, however, when they are the best available. Asian Americans are immigrants to the United States (and their descendants) from more than 20 countries who speak more than 100 different languages. They come from places such as China, India, Japan, the Philippines, Korea, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand and represent more than 60 different ethnicities (22). In 1990, the largest subpopulations (in descending order) were persons of Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Asian Indian, Korean, and Southeast Asian ancestry. By the year 2000, Filipinos are projected to be the largest Asian subpopulation, followed by Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese Americans, in that order (120).

Becoming Asian American greatly advances knowledge of the dynamic interaction of race, ethnicity, and individual identity in American life. Her case studies offer a fresh, solid approach to discovering what it is like for immigrant racial minorities to become American in our time and indicates a great deal about the future of the American nation."Reed Ueda, Tufts University "Nazli Kibria presents a rich body of interview data on the changing and diverse nature of Asian-American identity, particularly among Chinese and Korean Americans, making a very solid and sustained contribution to the burgeoning literature within Asian-American studies. Through Kibria's wonderful interviews, we hear very interesting meditations on ethnic identity. She also does a good job of raising important sociological questions about race and immigration. This book may very well become a landmark in the field."John Lie, University of Michigan

Asian Americans People from Asia have been migrating to the United States for nearly 200 years now. The first Asian immigrants came from China, and they were brought over by American companies seeking cheap laborers. Early Asian immigrants, mostly Chinese and Japanese, were met with resentment and racism by whites in the U.S. In addition to violent attacks, early Asian immigrants were subjected to a long list of anti-Asian legislation. One of the effects of this legislation was to make it nearly impossible for any new immigrants from Asia to come to the United States for nearly a century until the mid-1960s. As a result, the vast majority of the Asian-Pacific American population has come to the United States during the past four decades. As with the other groups of racial categorization, the race “Asian” is problematic. It is based largely on geography, rather than on the race of the people. For instance, people from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India do not racially look like people from China, Japan, and Vietnam but are categorized in the same race because of their geography.

Home Asian-American Candidates Asian-American Issues Key Contests ... San Jose Mercury News : "Extending rights won by Wen Ho Lee," Cecilia Lee Chang, founder of WenHoLee.org, has formed Justice for New Americans. The Fremont human relations commissioner is taking her experience fighting for the rights of Wen Ho Lee, the wrongly accused scientist, to the people. The new group plans to educate the public about how and why new Americans can easily be targeted as scapegoats under the guise of national security. And it plans to take some cases to court. This struggle for equal justice is a battle that Chinese-Americans have fought since the 19th century. In earlier times, discrimination against Chinese-Americans was direct and ugly. They could not own land. They could not attend public schools. They could not testify against whites in court. They could not run for public office. The documentary ``Ancestors in the Americas,'' by independent filmmaker Loni Ding, tells the story of the early Chinese-Americans' legal struggles. ``It was natural for them to ante up a portion of their earnings to fight these discriminatory laws,'' the documentary says. ``They hired seasoned lawyers and challenged almost every law or court case enacted against them, sometimes with great success.

55. Korean American Profiles At Harvard mainly because he is not as in touch with Koran culture as other korean americans),he believes that there are some positive aspects to being asian American. http://hcs.harvard.edu/~yisei/backissues/spring_92/ys92_24.html

Korean American Profiles at Harvard By Esther Eun-Young Chang Jeanny Ji-Eun Kim is a Quincy House junior from Long Island, New York, who believes that the benefit of being Korean-American is that "within the larger realm of American society, there is always a smaller subculture afforded by being Korean American that allows you to find a smaller niche and feel like there is a certain part of society that you can definitely relate to on a different level." In Jeanny’s opinion, there is no such thing as an "American" culture; that is, no one is a true American per se, unless that person is a Native American, because everyone is originally from a different country. This is where she sees another positive aspect about being Korean American. Jeanny points out that as a Korean American, "you do have a stable set of roots that everybody shares with you—mainly the Korean ethics that most Korean kids grew up with." When asked whether she felt that there were any advantages to being Asian, Jeanny replied that affirmative action does not do anything for Asians because they are not considered minorities anymore. However, she sees certain stereotypes that go along with being Asian American—that they study hard and that they want to succeed—as advantages for her because they encourage her to work hard and set higher standards for herself. As someone who was born and raised in the United States, Jeanny does not feel that it is very hard to assimilate into American culture once one can speak the language. To her, assimilation into American culture means "adopting any of the social and cultural icons associated with being American." Although she feels that she has completely assimilated because she speaks English fluently and understands how the American system works, she still admits that being Asian might be the cause of obstacles for "the American society is not a meritocracy, but a lot of bureaucracy and politics." Because Asian Americans are not yet well-established in this country, Jeanny feels that people with the "right connections" have gotten much further than she has in many respects.
