This story was printed from FindArticles.com, located at http://www.findarticles.com Nation's Restaurant News May 24, 1999 DIVERSITY AT WORK: ASIAN-AMERICANS. Author/s: Gregg Cebrzynski Two words of advice to restaurant owners who hire Asian-Americans: Be patient. It takes a while for members of those ethnic groups, especially first-generation immigrants, to assimilate into American society, and it takes time for restaurateurs to understand the cultural traditions that guide their work lives. And though Asian-Americans are tireless workers, they have an entrepreneurial spirit, a desire to own their own businesses, which in some cases can pose a problem in retaining them for long. That said, they are still a sought-after work force because of their determination to perform at the peak of their abilities. "I want more, but many of them are in business for themselves," says Leeann Chin, founder and board chairman of Minneapolis-based Leeann Chin Inc. "And there's not a big Asian population in Minnesota." The company operates three buffet restaurants and 45 takeout units as Leeann Chinese Cuisine. The chain has 1,500 employees, 10 percent of them Asian-Americans. It recently opened a restaurant in Detroit, and a sign in the window announcing the opening was enough to attract potential Asian-American employees.

MIT WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1997 Asian Americans discuss stereotypes By Sarah H. Wright News Office "Asian and Asian-American Experiences: A Forum on the Racial Climate at MIT," the second program in MIT's Race 2000 series, opened on a dramatic political note, with individuals standing to read aloud US laws that have discriminated against people of Asian descent. The November 20 program closed on an equally dramatic yet highly personal note as students and faculty shared their experiences in confronting issues of identity, class and interracial relationships. Panel members were moderator J. Emma Teng, instructor in history and foreign languages and literatures; James E. Chung, associate professor of electrical engineering and co-chair of the Committee on Campus Race Relations; Dr. Kristine A. Cha, a psychiatrist in the Medical Department; and Professor Mary Ni from Counseling Services at Boston University (formerly an assistant dean for residence and campus activities at MIT).

Market Potential for Domestic Rice Varieties Among Asian Americans: Summary Report H.L. Goodwin, M. Edward Rister, Robert E. Branson, James W. Stansel, Bill D. Webb, Jim Bob Ward, and Karen Kunz* Summary Report November 1992 ABSTRACT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY : Potential acceptability of domestically produced and processed rices to the growing Asian-American market is evaluated. A publicly documented protocol for assessing consumers' preferences among alternative rice varieties is a complementary product of this research. The latter is applicable to both aromatic and nonaromatic varietal development, augmenting the varietal screening prior to release for commercial production. Two domestic aromatic rices (Jasmine 85 and Cal A301) and two domestic non- aromatic rices (Lemont and Toro II) are evaluated in comparison to a representative imported Thai Jasmine brand. The domestic rices were obtained in rough form and then both friction and water milled; the Thai Jasmine was obtained in milled form via a commercial rice buyer to replicate market competitive conditions. Based on Census data and known preferences for Indica rices, the study focused on several ethnic groups in the general Asian-American population: Filipinos, Chinese, Taiwanese, Thai, Cambodian, and Vietnamese. Japanese and Koreans were intentionally avoided because of their preference for Japonica rices.

POOLE Atlanta Journal-Constitution Staff Writer Jenni Girtman / AJC At the ninth annual Asian Cultural Experience last weekend, Erika Atsumi Forman (left) and Richard Cravens Jr. combine traditional Japanese drumming with new technology as a part of the ZeRo Taiko Orchestra at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. Related: Some groups question minority loans to Asians. At the Center for Pan Asian Community Services, a recording greets callers in four languages Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese and English. Members of the recently formed Governor's Commission on Asian-American Affairs include Vietnamese, Chinese and Pakistani-Americans. Both illustrate the complex diversity of the metro area's growing Asian immigrant population, which reached nearly 136,000 in 2000, according to the census. Unlike the city's fastest-growing immigrant group Latinos community service organizations, businesses and government officials have found that there's no "one-size-fits-all" approach to dealing with the Asian-American community. Latinos share a common language Spanish and religion, mostly Roman Catholic.
