His hopes are answered in the form of a fishy bag he is given for safekeeping by a low-level hood, Charlie. Soon Bali becomes irrecoverably entangled in Charlie's shady life and is taken on a wild journey into a seedy underworld filled with compulsive gamblers, angry racists and gangsters who quote the Bhagavad-Gita.

Recommend a Guide Topic B ackground "Asian Pacific American Heritage Month was enacted by Public Law 102-450 on October 23, 1992. The purpose of the law was to honor the achievements of Asian/Pacific Americans and to recognize their contributions to the United States. This recognition was the culmination of Jeanie Jew's efforts in the 1970's to establish Asian Pacific American Heritage Week. Following the United States bicentennial in 1976, Jew realized that Asian Pacific Americans were ". . .were excluded from those stories during celebrations of the country's bicentennial. We were literally ignored even though we were part of building this country." A year later, Jew enlisted the support of Rep. Frank Horton (R-NY) who, along with Rep. Norman Mineta, (D-CA), introduced House Resolution 540. This resolution proclaimed the first ten days of May as Asian Pacific American Heritage Week. Senators Daniel Inouye and Spark Matsunaga introduced similar legislation into the Senate. May was selected for the recognition because two significant events in history took place in that month: Japanese immigrants first arrived in the United States on May 7, 1843, and the transcontinental railroad was completed on May 10, 1869 (Golden Spike Day). Furthermore, since school is still in session during May, educators could capitalize on the opportunity to include APA history into the curriculum.

First woman: Young Indian girl. Hates her skin color. Thinks she's too dark. Refuses to play outside because she'll get darker. Second woman: African-American, Can't find the right foundation. Finally finds it. Goes to re-purchase it. Color has been discontinued. She's frustrated. Third woman: Pakistani-American model. Also can't find the right cosmetics. Makeup artists have to blend several colors to match her complexion. Her jobs are limited because photographers and designers either see her as 'too exotic' or 'not exotic' enough. She's frustrated with the lack of cosmetic choices and she's frustrated with the lack of positive images of women of color.

Select Arizona Asia (Hong Kong) Atlanta Chicago Florida Hawaii Los Angeles New England New York Philadelphia Portland Sacramento San Diego San Francisco Bay Area Seattle Texas Washington, D.C. Jan 2000 A new millennium brings new challenges for Asian Americans BY MYUNG OAK KIM The Asian American population is galloping into the new millennium, boasting impressive socio-economic standings and a population that is growing faster than that of any other racial group. It now exceeds 10 million people, according to 1998 Census Bureau figures, a 37 percent increase since 1990. Asian Americans, who numbered only 1.5 million in 1970, are now expected to exceed 32 million by 2050, representing 8.2 percent of the population. So there are strong reasons to stop and assess the trends emerging in the population, trends that promise to become huge challenges in the new millennium. In many ways, Asian Americans are following the path of the European immigrants who came to the United States a century ago and quickly blended into mainstream society. For many of them, that blending includes marrying whites at a brisk pace. This means future generations will be "less" Asian. Are we comfortable with that?

South Asians in the melting pot Joshua Kurlantzick 2639 Words 01 November 2002 Volume 17, Issue 11; ISSN: 0887-9346 English ANALYSIS Until recently, players in the Washington, D.C., Cricket League, the majority of whom originally hail from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, or other South Asian nations, had reason to be extremely optimistic about the future. In the 1980s and '90s, South Asians had grown into a powerful economic force in America, dominating many of the nation's hottest industries and becoming big names in information technology (IT) centers like Silicon Valley and northern Virginia. Like other immigrant groups before them, South Asians also had begun to make their presence felt in mainstream American culture. Perhaps most important, business seemed to be effacing old hatreds, bringing together South Asians once divided by the subcontinent's brutal history. Washington's cricket league kept growing as the South Asian-American population expanded, developing into an organization with over 25 teams. When the 2002 cricket season rolled around, however, some players were in a grimmer mood. As the IT sector tanked in 2001 and 2002, thousands of South Asian-Americans lost their jobs, and South Asian-run companies found themselves struggling for capital and new ideas. Meanwhile, the September 11 attacks, followed by TV images of crowds of Pakistani extremists shouting anti-American slogans, led to a wave of anti-South Asian violence and racial profiling. Making matters worse, Hindu-Muslim relations on the subcontinent had reached a nadir, as India and Pakistan teetered on the brink of conflagration and sectarian violence raged across Gujarat and other Indian states.

the 80-20 initiative can asian americans wield political clout? by charles ro Chances are you’ve heard of Wen Ho Lee, or remember the Chinese-DNC campaign funding scandal, or you really know why the US bombed the Chinese embassy. Chances are you look forward to every year’s elections knowing that you’re not voting for something you’re voting against something. What you also know is that no matter how much the Asian American population has grown in the last 20 years, and no matter how many contributions Asian Americans make to American society, politicians and lawmakers have continued to ignore the interests of the Asian American community. Moreover, the media has developed a penchant for painting Asian Americans as second class citizens, or at least something to laugh at. Finally, it appears as though something can be done, without having to resort to violence. The 80-20 initiative is perhaps that first step that Asian Americans need to take to change the way the Asian American community is ignored, abused, or misrepresented. You might not have never heard of the 80-20 initiative, or you have and have no idea what it is. Or perhaps you’re sick of the mass emails and know 80-20 inside out, whether you want to or not. But one thing is certain: the 80-20 initiative is the first attempt by a major constituency of Asian American voters to consolidate an Asian American voting bloc and achieve some kind of political sway. Numerous community organizations have offered their support to the initiative Indian, Pilipino, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, as well as Pakistani groups have pledged support for the initiative, giving it a broad-based coalition of supporters, not exclusive to any one group of Asian Americans.

May 21, 2002 Reflections on Asian American Heritage Month By Margaret Chon As Asian American Heritage Month comes to a close on May 31, I am reminded that Asian Americans have never been and may never be viewed as true patriotic Americans. So it is tricky for us to speak out as Americans critical of our government's foreign policy. We have been marked as permanent outsiders, always the "foreigner," no matter how long our families and our peoples may have been in the United States, and no matter what contributions we may have made to the development of this country into the world's biggest superpower. The recent racial profiling of those of Middle-Eastern, Central-Asian and South-Asian descent is simply a continuation of a 150-year-old process. It is not surprising to anyone even passingly familiar with the history of Asians in America. Despite all this, what Asian Americans can offer to other Americans is the critical insight that cultures are complex, contested and ultimately connected. Cultures are not like sports teams us vs. them nor can they afford to be in an increasingly interdependent world. Many Asian Americans understand intuitively the importance of multiculturalism. This month, cellist Yo-Yo Ma is taking a Silk Road ensemble on tour throughout the United States. Musicians from Iran, Turkey, Mongolia, India, China, Korea and the United States perform compositions, both new and old, written by Turks, Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Uzbeks, Tajiks, Iranians, Hungarians, Chinese, Mongolians, Koreans, Japanese, Russians, French and Spaniards.

The United States Census Bureau released more detailed Census 2000 data for New York State today. The release contains data collected in the Census short form, which includes age, gender, familial relationships, and housing tenure, as cross-tabulated by race group. Additionally, the release includes the population counts for sixteen detailed Asian subgroups. There were 787,047 Asian American New Yorkers who marked "Asian" alone in Census 2000. In addition to the ten Asian groups that were detailed in 1990, the Bureau added Bangladeshi, Indonesian, Malaysian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, and Taiwanese in 2000. Analysis by the Asian American Federation Census Information Center (Federation CIC), summarized in Table 1 above, shows that Chinese Americans remained the largest Asian group in New York City, growing over 53% from 1990 to 357,243 in 2000. Asian Indian Americans rank second, growing over 80% to a total of 170,899 in 2000, and Korean Americans are the third largest group growing 24% to a total of 86,473 in 2000. However, the fastest growing Asian group in New York City is Bangladeshi Americans, with a population growth of over 285% between 1990 and 2000, to a total of 19,148.
