Find a Service Center Understanding Asian Pacific Americans By Donna Ray, Asian Pacific American Islander Emphasis Program Manager Their are over 10 million Asian and Pacific Islanders in the U.S. They comprise 3.8 percent of the total U.S. population. The number of Asian and Pacific Islanders in the United States was 1.5 million in 1970, 3.5 million in 1980, 7.3 million in 1990, 9.6 million in 1996, and in February 1998 there were an estimated 10.2 million Asian and Pacific Islanders, comprising 3.8 percent of the total U.S. population. In addition to immigration and natural increase, part of the growth of Asian and Pacific Islanders between 1970 and 1990 reflects changes in the race question on the census form. In the 1990 census the race question was revised to include more groups of people. Collection and processing procedures were also improved. There is still much to be learned as we work with Asian and Pacific Islanders. As with all cultures and ethnic groups, awareness and understanding can be a key that unlocks the door to a productive relationship between NRCS and the diverse public we serve.

PDA View Full Version : Asian fetish phgators 02-12-2003, 11:02 AM I want to hear what people out there think about "The Asian Fetish" We all know that lots of white guys have a "preference" for Asian women for a plethora of reasons. We also know that lots of Asian women prefer white guys (also for many reasons). Every now and then people employ the Asian fetish to describe men that prefer asian women, but can we really consider it a fetish? Is it a fetish in the true sense of the word? Do all these white men have it? What about the reverse of women fetishizing white men? Can we "blame" this on the media? cultural differences and the bias against Asian patriarchy? is it that white men are just hotter? (i hope not) what do you think?

These volunteers, who called themselves the Varsity Victory Volunteers (VVV), were 169 young Nisei men of Japanese ancestry. They were declared unfit to serve in the United States Army after Pearl Harbor because of their assumed ties and loyalty to Japan. To combat such images of themselves, they volunteered to perform non-military manual labor in Hawai'i for one year during World War II. Many of the VVV members eventually went on to serve in the famous all-Japanese American Army Unit, the 442

High school was my saving grace since I met other Asians and slowly learned their cultures and differences. My best friend who's korean was instrumental in making me feel "normal" since I was not the WASP Americana version that was being shown on tv, music, media, etc, etc, etc. In college people would mistake me for Phillapino and this added to my bijillion and one reasons why I ended up with such sweet Flip friends. But I never felt comfortable with others who were also Cambodian in college. I felt so white washed, different from people that I was supposed to be connected to. The Cambodian club consisted of people who grew up in the same city/area that was sprinkled with those who grew up in different cities. I didn't stay long cause I felt so damn different.

49. The Asian And Pacific Islander Population In The U.S. ERIC Digest. There are an estimated 12 million Asian and Pacific Islander americans (APIAs) in Filipino, Japanese, Asian Indian, Korean, Vietnamese, and Hawaiian. http://www.ericdigests.org/2003-4/asian.html

Site Links Home Search for ERIC Digests Privacy Policy Resources for Library Instruction ... Information Literacy Blog The Asian and Pacific Islander Population in the U.S. ERIC Digest. by Schwartz, Wendy There are an estimated 12 million Asian and Pacific Islander Americans (APIAs) in the United States, or about 4 percent of the total population (compared with African Americans, at 12 percent, and Latinos, at 11 percent). APIAs comprise one of the fastest growing groups in the nation; over the last decade there was a 69 percent growth in that population, and their number is expected to reach 20 million by 2020. Most APIAs reside in urban areas, but the differences among their various groups are often greater than their similarities. High fertility rates and the immigration of APIAs are major reasons for the anticipated increase in their number. Children are becoming an even more significant proportion of the APIA population, and will constitute an increasingly larger segment of the public school population. Schools will need to become knowledgeable about the unique qualities of APIA students and their families and respond to their special educational and social needs. This digest, drawn from the most recent statistics collected, including 2000 Census data where available, synthesizes information on Asian and Pacific Islander American children and their families. The digest's goal is twofold: (1) to help educators working with this population better understand their backgrounds and living conditions, in order to provide the children with effective educational and other services and to communicate effectively and sensitively with their families; and (2) to help policy makers and program developers equitably allocate resources for these services based on accurate information about local concentrations of APIAs. A bibliography of the sources used here appears at the end of the digest for those interested in obtaining more data.

Ancestors in the Americas Series Overview Ancestors in America is designed as the first major television series to offer the general public an in-depth historical understanding of one of the fastest growing and least known groups of immigrants in the U.S. Asian Americans. We take as our point of departure, that the diversity of Asian groups in America - Chinese, Filipinos, Koreans, Japanese, Asian Indians, and Southeast Asians - all have fundamental historical experiences in common, both in Asia and in America. To launch Ancestors we start with a 3 part series focusing on the Chinese as the first large Asian immigrant subgroup to settle in the United States. Program 1: Coolies, Sailors, Settlers: Voyage to the New World (completed) Program 2: Chinese in the Frontier West:An American Story (completed) Program 3: Crossing the Continent; Crossing the Pacific (In-progress) Designed as an open ended 3-part series , additional programs which foreground the other Asian American groups, also within a comparative Asian American perspective, will be produced as funding and support becomes available. A comparative perspective underlies the series as a whole with a variety of questions posed, all of which begin with the fateful fact that Asian Americans were distinctively both immigrant and a racial minority: As immigrants, can the experiences of Asian immigrants be considered just a variant on those of Euro-immigrants? (i.e., do Asian American immigrants follow the familiar formula of initial hardship and social discrimination, yielding to acceptance/assimilation within a lifetime, generation or two, and ultimately, mobility , earned success, and integration as Americans?

In this photograph, young boys run alongside a Chinese lion dance team while onlookers watch from across the street. If not for the 1930s automobiles, this photograph could have been taken yesterday in any Chinatown or Chinese community in the United States, where lion dances performed to ward off evil spirits are not an uncommon sight. This photograph, however, was taken around 1936 on San Francisco's Sixth Street, not in its famous Chinatown, at a time when such a sight would have been less common. Although in 1936 San Francisco's Chinese American population was larger than anywhere else in the country, its Chinese American community was still fairly small and isolated. By 1936, the U.S. government had shut down immigration from China for over half a century. Between 1882 and 1943, the Chinese American community had very little contact with family and friends in China. As several generations of children grew up in the United States during this 60-year span, they may have spoken Chinese and learned about Chinese culture at home, but they primarily spoke English and identified with mainstream American culture. While Chinese Americans grew up with mainstream American culture, they were also excluded from it. Chinese Americans born in China were not permitted to become American citizens and therefore could not own property. De facto segregation, or segregation enforced through social pressures and not by law, was common. Chinese and other Asian Americans were barred from schools, jobs, and neighborhoods that mainstream American society wanted to keep predominantly white.

Front Page In This Week's Issue Subscribe Special ... About AsianWeek May 24-30, 1996 Why we need Heritage Month By Emil Guillermo I went up to the first Asian American guy I saw this month and gave him my standard greeting in May. I stuck out my hand, beamed, and said, loudly, “Hey, Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month!” It was loud enough so that all the non-Asian types around me could experience it too. That’s what the month is supposed to be about. Letting people know about us. Instead, I learned about us. This man, an acquaintance, was caught totally by surprise. He’s like a lot of Asian Americans in the Bay Area: bright, successful to a point, living in silent satisfaction. I figured maybe he thought I was a Spanish guy, with a name like Guillermo. Still, his embarrassment over my greeting stunned me. A “Merry Christmas” he would’ve handled. Maybe even a “Happy Columbus Day.” People respect Columbus. He gave them a day off. But a “Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month?” Forget it. The man didn’t mention anything more about it. Instead, he tried to pretend that I never even mentioned it. And then he gave me a look as if I had the “cooties” or something approximating mad cow disease. Or, since I’m vegetarian, a case of mad tofu. It’s an amok derivative, whatever it is.

My advice to Asian women is to wear hardly any makeup so that you won't scare guys off when you wake up in the morning. Vietdude Tuesday, December 17, 2002 at 20:09:38 (PST)

The Original 101 Ways to Tell If You're Japanese American by Jenni Emiko Kuida and Tony Osumi Inspired by similar Chinese and Pilipino lists, we took a shot at creating one for Japanese Americans. Written from a Southern California Sansei and Yonsei perspective, we tried to include not only Issei, Nisei and older Sansei insights, but those from later post-WWII Shin Issei and Nisei. But creating an all inclusive list is impossible, so we see this as a work in progress and courage others to add to the list. There's no reason why this can't be a 1001 list, neh? Although written in good fun, understanding what it means to be JA helps define who we are as a community and the issues we face. More importantly, as we further study Japanese/Asian American history, we might begin to see current issues like immigrant-bashing, attacks on civil rights/affirmative action and the growing concentration of wealth and resources upward to a select few, in new ways. Yes, Buddhaheads, there is life after Redress. We would like to thank all those who shared their suggestions and helped make this list possible.

African-American Medal of Honor Recipients WW2 The President of the United States in the name of the Congress takes pleasure in presenting the Medal of Honor To: First Lieutenant Vernon J. Baker General Order: Staff Sergeant Edward A. Carter, Jr. General Order: Citation: For extraordinary heroism in action on 23 March 1945, near Speyer, Germany. When the tank on which he was riding received heavy bazooka and small arms fire, Sergeant Carter voluntarily attempted to lead a three-man group across an open field. Within a short time, two of his men were killed and the third seriously wounded. Continuing on alone, he was wounded five times and finally forced to take cover. As eight enemy riflemen attempted to capture him, Sergeant Carter killed six of them and captured the remaining two. He then crossed the field using as a shield his two prisoners from which he obtained valuable information concerning the disposition of enemy troops. Staff Sergeant Carter's extraordinary heroism was an inspiration to the officers and men of the Seventh Army Infantry Company Number 1 (Provisional) and exemplify the highest traditions of the Armed Forces.

ETHNOGERIATRICS CURRICULUM HEALTH AND HEALTH CARE FOR ASIAN AND PACIFIC ISLANDER AMERICAN ELDERS INTRODUCTION Patricia Lanoie Blanchette, M.D., MPH Chair, Asian and Pacific Islander Modules Department of Geriatric Medicine and Pacific Islands Geriatric Education Center John A. Burns School of Medicine, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, Hawaii The term "Asian/Pacific Islander" (API) is used in this curriculum to correspond to the federal grouping for the U.S. census and other data. However, this is an exceedingly diverse group, some with historical interrelationships. The group includes residents of the U.S. from Chinese, Japanese, Asian Indian, Pakistani, Korean, Vietnamese, Hmong, Laotian, Thai, Filipino, Samoan, Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander, and other backgrounds. For the most part, this section discusses API's living in the 50 U.S. states. However, because of the ongoing relationship of the U.S. and many Pacific Islands, such as for health care, and the relative paucity of this information elsewhere, the Pacific Islander section is more detailed with regard to history and demography and current health status in those islands. It is intended to be useful both for classroom instruction and for health care workers preparing themselves to provide direct care in the islands. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, API's make up 4.5% of the U.S. population if people who identify themselves as having more than one racial background are included. That includes 12.8 million people. If the total is limited to individuals who said they have only one racial identity, the size of the API population is 10.6 million, 3.7% of the U.S population. People of Asian descent comprise a 96% API total, while Pacific Islanders comprise approximately 4%.
