Asian Pacific Americans are primarily identified with Japanese, Chinese, and Filipino Americans but Asian Pacific Americans are much more than that. In my opinion, I believe Asian Pacific Americans are people who emigrated from Asian Pacific Islands to America who’s either looking for a job, freedom or be with their family member who already has American citizenship. These Asian Pacific Americans are either the 1st generation or more of Asian Pacific Americans who 's been in America for a period…

A Misconception in Asian Americans America is a multiethnic and multicultural country. It is a country where people from all around the world come to achieve their dreams. However, not everyone succeed in making their dream come true. Beside Caucasian, Asian Americans are usually be seen as the most successful minority.

The early 70s built on the political gains from the 60s with the election of Norman Minetta as mayor of San Jose, California, and Marion Lacadia Obera became the first Filipina American to be appointed judge to the Los Angeles bench.

No-No Boy by John Okada is a story about a twenty-five-year-old, second generation Japanese-American named Ichiro Yamada. The year is 1946 and Ichiro, a former undergraduate student at the University of Washington, returns home to Seattle after spending two years at an internment camp and federal prison. He was punished for refusing to serve in the Armed Forces and to swear allegiance to the United States. At that time, he became a “no-no boy.” The reason behind his resentment was because was…

celebration of Asian American achievement in the myth is both the legitimization of White privilege and the reinforcement of racist beliefs about African American failure” (Yanagisako 284).

The show stereotype Asians by calling Han a person that is suppose to be “smart” and is portrayed as someone work-obsessed, short, socially awkward and unmanly. The task would talk about how all Asians are not the same as what is being stereotyped and how it is dangerous to put stereotyped on a mass media. The opinion column will represent my opinion regarding the stereotype towards Asian and have…

Arden Cho, Lucy Liu, and Sandra Oh: all of whom are Asian American descent. I think we can all agree that they are all beautiful women in America, but how do they stack up against other Asian and American actresses?

What they deem beautiful is a fusion of American and Asian qualities. But where do I fit in? Throughout my childhood, I have struggled…

African elephants (Loxodonta Africana) usually grow to be between 8.2 to 13 feet from toe to shoulder and they usually weigh between 5,000 to 14,000 lbs (National Geographic, 2015). In the wild, African elephants typically travel long distances and can travel up to 19-37 miles per day (Zoocheck Canada, 2015).
