The Asian American Federation, a nonprofit leadership organization, released results of its evaluation today in the latest in a series of ethnic and geographic profiles to deepen understanding of Asian American populations in the New York metropolitan area. The Federation’s Census Information Center (CIC), a source of census data and analysis affiliated with the U.S. Census Bureau, is preparing the demographic portraits with support from the Citigroup and C.J. Huang foundations. The Pakistani American profile is available at www.aafny.org. “Our profile of New York City’s Pakistani American population provides an important snapshot of an immigrant group facing severe poverty and language challenges,” said Cao K. O, executive director of the Asian American Federation. “The very high child-poverty rate and the limited English skills of senior citizens require particular attention from community service planners and policy-makers. This information is especially significant in a post-September 11th context, as this community has suffered hardship stemming from hate crimes, employment discrimination and government policies.”

More than a dozen Asian ethnic subgroups - from Chinese to Hmong, Thai, and Pakistani - form metro Boston's Asian American population, which now totals almost a quarter million people and increased 70 percent during the last decade, according to the report. The new study is being released in celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month by the Metro Boston Equity Initiative of The Civil Rights Project at Harvard University. The most dramatic growth over the 1990s has occurred outside the City of Boston, according to the UMass-Boston researchers. While Boston saw the largest numeric increase in the Asian American population (13,896), towns posting the fastest growth rates were Malden, Shrewsbury, Quincy, Burlington, and Waltham.

Understanding Our Perceptions of Asian Americans By Peter N. Kiang, Ed. D. Graduate College of Education, University of Massachusetts at Boston Related Lesson: Perceptions of Asian Americans A waitress asked: "Where are you from?" I told her my great-grandfather came to work the mines in New Mexico. My grandfather was a tailor in Oakland and my mother was born in Stockton. And the waitress interrupted and without any hesitation said: "So how do you like your new country?" He asked the price of beef. Then he said: "You Koreans charge too much." My brother said: "I'm not Korean, I'm Cambodian." But he's mad. He says: "You Koreans rip us off." The growth and diversification of the Asian American population in recent years has been nothing short of phenomenal. Driven by sustained immigration and refugee resettlement during the 1970's and 1980's, Asian Americans have emerged as the nation's fastest growing racial group. Given that the school-age Asian American population doubled in the 1980's and is expected to double again between 1990 and 2020, our schools and the larger society must confront some critical questions. For example, what do we know and what can we teach and learn about Asian Americans? Asian Americans number more than 9.1 million in the United States and represent more than thirty different nationalities and ethnic groups, including Samoan, Tongan, Guamanian, and native Hawai'ian from the Pacific Islands; Lao, Hmong, Mien, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Thai, Burmese, Malay, and Filipinos from Southeast Asia; Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Indian, and Sri Lankan from South Asia; Afghani and Iranian from Central Asia; and Korean, Japanese, and Chinese from East Asia. In the year 2000, the six largest Asian nationalities in the United States will be Filipinos, Chinese, Vietnamese, Koreans, Asian Indians, and Japanese. The diversity of Asian Americans, in terms of their various languages, cultures, and histories is remarkable.

The author points out that the Pakistani practice of keeping males and females completely segregated has worked against preserving intra-community marriage because young people have to make friends with others in the community, since they are kept away from people their own age in their own community.
