    Extractions: This documentary documents a young Laotian family's journey from a Thai refugee camp, which they had been forced into following the Vietnam War, to Seattle, where they were allowed to immigrate. Becoming American powerfully details the difficulties refugees faced and reveals how little support the United States government actually gave to the people it displaced. Still valid after almost 20 years.

    Extractions: (Updated Wednesday, Apr 09, 2003, 09:01:43 AM) t may be the nation's third largest city but to many AA Chicago is terra incognita. The first question it provokes is, Why would an Asian American want to live there? They are surprised to learn that, in fact, the greater Chicago area hosts the eighth largest Asian American population. Of the area's 8.4 million population, Asians comprise 5.4% or 450,000. Chinese began settling the area in 1870. Most were railroad workers at loose ends after the last stretch of tracks were laid on the Transcontinental Railroad. More began moving out to escape the extreme anti-Asian racism raging out of control on the west coast until the mid-1940s. Their first visible community was the area now known as South Chinatown on Chicago's South Side. At its height this original Chinatown, centered around Wentworth and Cermak, was lively enough to support 170 restaurants. Now, that number has shrunk to about 43, in part due to various redevelopment projects that cut the area down to less than a quarter its original area. The new wave of Asian immigrants that began arriving in the 60s and 70s has shifted the Asian action northward. A second Chinatown, populated mostly by Vietnamese Chinese, has grown up around North Broadway and Argyle Street. A few blocks to the west a Koreatown is emerging along Lawrence Avenue. Nearby Devon Avenue is home to thriving South Asian establishments. There's even a small Japanese enclave closer to downtown along Clark and Halstead, right alongside a budding Thai area. These ethnic enclaves give the Chicago area's Asian Americans a tangible connection to their heritages but they are home only to the newest of Asian immigrants. Most established AA have faded into suburbs like Skokie, Evanston and even Highland Park.

Organizers said they must solidify the group's political clout by persuading at least 80 percent of Americans of Asian descent to vote for Gore. The 80-20 Initiative is the first widespread effort to unite different groups of Asian-Americans, who come from varying cultural, political and linguistic backgrounds, in a political movement. "As a 15-year supporter of the Republican Party, it will be a personal challenge to cross over and vote for a Democrat," said Kenneth Fong, a San Francisco-based geneticist and vice chairman of the endorsement group. "But I am putting my personal interests aside for the sake of the Asian Pacific American community."

Asian American Alliance The DOT OSDBU has a partnership agreement with the Asian American Alliance in Chicago, Illinois to support OSDBU's Transportation Equity Act Model (TEAM) program. This and other TEAM partnerships were designed to facilitate interest from the small, women and minority-owned, and disadvantaged business community towards contract opportunities within Mega Projects and other design/build initiatives. The Asian American Alliance is a not-for-profit advocacy organization that is committed to establishing a supportive network to assist Asian American small business owners in Illinois. Incorporated in 1994, the Alliance is a coalition of Chambers of Commerce representing the Chinese, Korean, Filipino, and Vietnamese-American small business communities. The Alliance is also working diligently to expand their influence and assistance to the Pakistani, Indian, and Thai communities. The Alliance assists entrepreneurs in the minority certification process, increasing the bonding capacity of certified vendors, helping certified vendors obtain capital, providing information to minority vendors regarding available services, identifying qualified minority vendors, and encouraging the participation of minority vendors in bidding and obtaining available contracts.

There's no country called Asia, and no language called Asian. People are not raised in the context of being "Asian American."

53. II Stix... Trapped Inside The Asian Mind

    http://www.iistix.com/_innerchamber/whereareyoufrom.html
    
    Extractions: WHERE ARE YOU FROM? To explain why it is that I display such behavior would be analogous to explaining why I like eating my french fries with ranch dressing (answer: I just do). A quick psychoanalysis of myself might reveal that I have some issues with being accepted and that I apparently place a great emphasis on dialogue and its effect on my ability to relate to others. Perhaps. But the way I see it, I'm not the only who acts outside of his/her element once in awhile depending on the social setting. There are many who act and react in different ways depending on the situation and the people they're interacting with, especially when it comes to semantics and the role it plays with identity. Nothing gets an Asian American's blood boiling more than to be asked, "Where are you from?" by some ignorant non-Asian. Typical answers will range from: "I'm from (fill in with the state where you were born)."

    Extractions: BEYOND NUNCHUCKS AND DIM SUM We all have fears. My sister's biggest fear is being trapped in a freefalling elevator with a clown riding a horse that's kicking her in the face. Weird? Not really, especially in regards to the clown (people should be that happy all the time). But we all have our own fears, deep down inside of us. My biggest fear has always been to live a life that was not respected by others. If I were to suffer some horrible death tomorrow, I hope that people don't show up at my funeral thinking, "Well, he was a nice guy. Didn't really do anything worthwhile or special with his life, but he was a nice guy." It would be like dying twice overÖ first from a physical standpoint, second from a character standpoint. From a personal standpoint, I am more at ease with the task of living a life worthy of respect, mainly because I have control over most of what happens with my life. But the issue of respect runs deeper when it comes to Asian Americans as a whole. With "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" blowing up in the theaters, "Iron Chef" making it cool to watch TV on Friday nights, and Lucy Liu turning heads and breaking hearts on TV and in the movies, Asian culture is definitely hot right now. We are the "in" thing. Everyone envies us and wants to be like us. But before we start setting off firecrackers and passing out the red envelopes, we should take a step back to assess our cause for celebration.

    Extractions: Asian American Immigration CHINESE MIGRATION Beginning in the 1980s, we have been one of the fastest growing immigrant groups here in the United States. A 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act began to eliminate some of the anti-Asian racism. The act reunified families, protected the domestic labor force, and called for immigration of people with needed skills. It also made us eligible for citizenship, which we had long been waiting for. The 1965 Immigration Act abolished the national-origins quota system and created an annual quota of 20,000 of us Asians. Therefore, the amount of immigrants increased drastically as time progressed. STEREOTYPES Almost ninety percent of Chinese immigrants were women between 1946 and 1952. About 348,000 of us came here from Hong Kong and Taiwan between 1941 and 1980. Beginning in 1981, the number of immigrants increased coming from the mainland as opposed to coming from Hong Kong and Taiwan. We reached a population of 1.6 million people between 1980 and 1990. By the mid-1990s we were approximately one-third of all Asian Americans. As Chinese Americans, we are often mistaken for Vietnamese or Korean Americans. In 1994, Asian Americans were thought of as foreigners who consistently competed for jobs. We have been stereotyped as "model minorities" because we are ambitious and hard working. After the United States declared war on Japan in 1941
