a. Asian diversity in America?
342457
I live in Hawaii, and I believe it to be the most racially diverse place in America.  At least 80% of the people here are at least part Asian, and most of us are more than one nationalities.

"Natives" of this country refer to themselves as OP's (original people). This country wasn't named America by them. They are labeled by their being here first. As far as the descriptions that you gave you used Asian as an ethnic description but used a color as a description for African American. Why? Also the Op's have different genetic makeups just like every other ethnic group. I know African Americans who have slanted eyes and they are not mixed race. The darker skinned Natives are obviously from the hotter regions just like darker skinned caucasians and African Americans and any other race who live there. The colder the climate year round the paler the skin tone.

I published a webzine called ASIA'ZINE about the Asian/Western dichotomy for five years.  It's still up and running at www.asiazine.com.  \n\nASIA'ZINE contains a mix of articles from different people about their experiences/perspectives growing up Asian in North America as well as a smattering of Asian pop culture.  Underlying many of the articles, is the theme of irony, humour and being able to laugh at yourself and the stereotypes.

It can be as important as you want it to be :-)  Did you know that Koreans make up the largest group of Asians in the United States ;-)

I love it. There are many Asian American families that have been here for a long time and I think it's about time the Media recognized them to a greater degree. America's supposed to represent for the whole Earth. We have citizens from every bloodline and tribe on the planet. I think this should be seen more often. I think Asian Americans are just awesome anyways.

The migration to America wouldn't change this attitude.  One doesn't let go of one's belief system that easily.\n\nIf a westerner went to Asia, one wouldn't walk under a ladder because the cultural context was different.

You speak of them as if they're another species. Yes, I've seen a PERSON of mixed Asian and black heritage. What's your point?

Chinese Americans constitute one group of overseas Chinese and are a subgroup of Asian Americans. Numbering 2.7 million in 2000, Chinese Americans make up 22.4% of Asian Americans (larger than any other Asian American subgroup), and constitute nearly 1% of the United States as a whole.

I'd say,"wot the hell you talkin about"? Sorry, a model of what? Asian Americans are just Americans with an ethnic background.Pacific Island Americans the same.Same as here in Australia we are all from an ethnic background,unless you have indigenous blood.We may not like it but its reality.

The Asian Culture is more about the group where Western culture is more about Individualilty

Well to be fair, I'm Asian and I tried fitting in the predominately "white" community of my hometown....but I just wasn't taken seriously as a friend. It's hard to fit in w/ people outside your race b/c there are all these barriers and such.  I mean it's easy for you to say we seclude ourselves, but we don't have a role amongst a group of "whites" except as a token, a mascot if you will. But I think after a few more generations, Asians will be considered Americans instead foreigners.

You see, Americans are so stupid that thy cant discern between Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Phillipinos, etc.  In the constant quest to be politiacally correct people decided to call them all ASIAN.  Indian people are from Asia,  Americans don't refer to them as Asian.  To be labeled as ASIAN by americans, it does not matter where you are from geographically, Asia or not.  You simply have to have "slanty eyes".\n\nIt's like being African American.  People assume that if you are black, hey, you are from Africa.  \n\nIt's all about america trying to be P.C. and in turn being more racist and stereotypical.  Pathetic.

Actually I see white girls with Asian guys.  But I live in a big city where folks tend to be more progressive.  I think it mostly has something to do with American white girls being very provincial.\nAnd overall I think Asians tend to be more attractive, so I'd have to disagree with the comments left above.
