By Peter Kirsanow Chronicle of Higher Education , the percentage of Asian-American applicants granted admission at the University of Texas-Austin rose from 68 percent to 81 percent immediately after the Hopwood decision struck down race-based admissions policies in the Fifth Circuit. The New York Times reported (February 2, 2003) that after California's Proposition 209 ended race-based admissions, the percentage of Asian-American freshmen at Berkeley rose a full 6 percent. Asian Americans, though only 4 percent of the nation's population, account for nearly 20 percent of all medical students. Forty-five percent of Berkeley's freshman class, but only 12 percent of California's populace, consists of Asian-Americans. And at UT-Austin, 18 percent of the freshman class is Asian American, compared to 3 percent for the state. This "over-representation" has produced much consternation among elites who view racial preferences as the best mechanism for ensuring the "proper" racial mix on college campuses. President Clinton worried that, without preferences, "there are universities in California that could fill their entire freshman classes with nothing but Asian-Americans."

ASIAN AMERICAN DEMOGRAPHICS Even we Asian Americans are confused by the subtleties and contradictions that seem to underlie the demographics of America's fastest-growing, best-educated and most affluent ethnic group. This insider's guide makes sense of it all. by Maxie Gondo CONTACT US COMMENT ON ARTICLES ADVERTISING INFO AA ISSUES ... INTERACTIVE FORUMS No part of the contents of this site may be reproduced without prior written permission. GOLDSEA ASIAN AMERICAN DEMOGRAPHICS Parsing Asian America PART 1 OF 4 o you perk up when an Asian face or name appears in an American movie, TV show, public performance, book, magazine, newspaper or web page? If you're like me and like most Asian Americans I know, the answer is yes! Asians of diverse ancestries identify with one another as intensely as members of any American ethnic groups. White Americans are often puzzled by this phenomenon. They don't pay particular attention to a fellow WASP, German American, Irish American or Italian American, they argue in earnest, baffled tones. Or, if they pride themselves on being particularly knowledgeable about Asian culture, they may say something like, "But I thought Chinese, Japanese and Coreans hated each other." It's when we hear statements like that that we most feel the yawning chasm that separates us from non-Asian Americans and feel the deep bond with other Asian Americans, regardless or their family's particular national orgin. For the benefit of non-Asians reading this, let me offer a clue. Imagine that you're a white person living in Japan, China or Corea. Imagine too that you speak the language as fluently as anyone, that your family has laid down roots there, maybe having lived there for two, three, four or even five generations. Your face remains caucasian, of course, but you are a loyal, taxpaying citizen of that Asian nation. In the event of hostilities, you or your family members will be called on to fight in its armed forces.

Another subgroup of Asians includes the Hmong (mung) which are a culture group that immigrated 5,000 years ago from China to the mountainous region of Laos, but many were forced out of their territory during the Vietnam War because they helped the United States during the conflict. [Back to Top] Rationale for Using Multiethnic Literature in the Classroom The purpose of using multiethnic literature are as follows: . So they can understand differences between cultures. Fiction books can be multi cultural, cross-cultural, or parallel-culture. Developing a relationship through a fictionalized character could be transferred to different culture.

After the California gold rush brought thousands of Chinese to California, however, Asian immigrants faced restrictive laws and occasional violence. In the late 1800s Chinese, and eventually other Asians, were excluded from citizenship . These laws were repealed during World War II , followed by further immigration-law changes, making it easier for Asians to enter the United States. Today, Asian immigrants have a high rate of assimilation and participation in the American mosaic.
