Asian Americans: Arthur Hu's Index of Diversity (c) Arthur Hu 1984-2020, please cite when using data from here on how to get more complete data or complete text of these references Some people collect stuff, this is my 15 plus years collection of racial statistics, organized around statistics for Asian Americans. Most racial statistics are given for blacks, maybe hispanics, but very few for Asians. Asians are unusual in that they have both the characteristics of disadvantaged minorities, like the African Americans, and over-achieving minorities such as the Jews and Episcopalians. What is remarkable is that, contrary to the popular thesis that Whites are always on top, and persons of color are always on the bottom because of racism, more often than not, Asians have lower rates of most headline problems. You'll almost never see them documented because of the unwritten rule that Whites must end up best and Blacks, worst. If you wander around, you'll also find evidence of when even the lower income, lower education Hispanics are better (AIDS rates, infant mortality, life expectancy) and even the few places where Blacks are better. I rank them, and figure out a conclusion instead of starting out with the conclusion and ommitting data that doesn't support it. Asians have higher household incomes are healthier , get better grades and test scores , go to the best colleges at the highest rates in the most rewarding and difficult fields commit fewer crimes , and have more solid

Subject: EM5 A Main Objective of 80-20 Newlist25 5 - Message sent to arthurhu@halcyon.com For unsubscribing, return this e-mail in its entirety AND add the word:REMOVE. Otherwise add the word:ENLIST. The following Declaration was send to each presidential candidate requesting his/her commitment should he be elected. Vice President Gore has committed to it. Gov. Bush has not. Why Not? The 4 requests we presented below are as American as motherhood, flag and apple pie. Declaration Concerning The 2000 Presidential Election by The 80-20 Initiative "With liberty and justice for all." Thus ends our pledge of allegiance to the flag with a ringing commitment to all citizens. Unfortunately, liberty and justice remain an unrealized dream for Asian Americans. A low glass-ceiling hangs instead over our heads, denying us the opportunity to rise to the top of our professions, just as it hung over women and blacks until recently. Statistical evidence, mostly gathered by government sponsored studies, shows a dismal picture: Asian Americans have only one- third the opportunity of all other Americans to "rise to the top," in the academic world, in corporations, or even in federal government. To illustrate, Asian Americans represent 3.5% of the population of this nation. However, of the 875 active federal judges, only 7 are Asian Americans; of the 250 plus cabinet and sub-cabinet positions in President Clinton's Administration in 1998, only two were held by Asian Americans. The situation is no better in universities, the so-called bastion of idealism in our society. University administrators are recruited almost exclusively from the ranks of faculty and professionals already employed in universities. Hence the ratio of [administrators / (faculty + professionals)], broken down to races, is a measure of the opportunity enjoyed by American citizens of different races. Nationwide, that ratio for blacks (non-Hispanic) is 0.21. That is, for every 100 black faculty and professionals there are 21 black administrators. The ratio for Native American is 0.20; for white (non-Hispanic) is 0.16; and for Hispanic is 0.15. However, it is only 0.06 for Asian American. The picture that emerges from the supposedly "enlightened" academic world and federal government is one of inequality and injustice for Asian Americans. The situation in the corporate world is worse, much worse. All Asian American CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, with one recent exception, started the companies themselves. Therefore, we, the Asian American citizens, declare that the time has come for all presidential candidates to commit themselves to the following to realize the ideal of equal opportunity for all Americans: 1. If elected, will direct his/her cabinet officers to work with Congress in holding public hearings regarding the validity of the huge amount of statistical data strongly suggesting discriminatory practices against Asian Americans in workplaces today, 2. If the data were shown valid, will issue a public statement to reaffirm your Administration's intention to vigorously prosecute all cases of racial discrimination against Asian Americans in the workplace, 3. If the data were shown valid, will work to induce the lifting of the glass-ceilings so that Asian Americans will be well on our way to equal opportunity to "rise to the top" within the first term, and 4. If elected, will give due recognition to the services and talents of Asian Americans by appointing qualified persons to policy-making positions in the Judicial and Executive branches of the federal government, possibly including a historic first cabinet position. The number of appointments will represent a significant improvement upon the current drastic under-utilization of Asian Americans. Asian Americans have contributed with distinction to the well being of the nation. We work hard at our jobs, we help to run business, we serve in governments, and we are well educated, with bachelor degrees per thousand persons twice that of the nation. It is time we are finally given equal opportunity for professional advancement, and to serve in the federal government in positions we deserve. We ask fellow Asian Americans to join us in our declaration to WITHHOLD financial and other forms of support to any presidential PRIMARY candidates who fail to pledge his/her commitment to our request for equal justice in the workplace. During the GENERAL presidential election, a different approach is taken. To be effective, we shall form a block-vote in favor of the presidential candidate of that political party that will have helped Asian Americans the most in achieving equal opportunity, between now and August 2000. Our cause is just. Our requests are fair. As individuals our voices may be weak; TOGETHER WE SHALL OVERCOME.

Asian American Voices for Affirmative Action by Paul Rockwell Oakland, California In a flip remark last June, University of California (UC) Regents Ward Connerly said: "I would be quite comfortable with only white and Asian students at UC, I have no problem with that." It was Henry Der, Chair of Chinese for Affirmative Action who took Connerly and Pete Wilson to task. In his eloquent address to the UC Regents, August 20th, Der said: "If Asian American students were to attend certain UC campuses that are exclusively Asian and white, such segregated education would not prepare Asian American students to assume leadership positions in a multiracial California society. As a parent, I do not want any of my three children to experience or choose a segregated college education." Pete Wilson's attempt to foment hostility between Asian American and African American communities has already backfired. Asian American support for affirmative action is growing. Throughout California's communities of color there is an awakened sense that an injury to one is an injury to all. Filipinos for Affirmative Action, the Asian Law Caucus, the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance; Kimi Lee, Executive Director of tbe University of California Student Association; and Eddie Wong, Western Region Rainbow Coalition Director, are playing an active role in defending affirmative action for America.

BODY POSITIVE June 1999, Volume XII, Number 6 The "Other" Epidemic: AIDS Among Asian-Americans by Rachel Sacks Other. The fourth category. A slot into which Asian-Americans often find themselves tossed, alongside Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, and any other groups that cannot be squeezed into the three more specific umbrella terms commonly used to describe the ethnicities of American citizens: Latino, African-American, and White/Caucasian. The lumping together of so many diverse cultures as "Other" throughout official statistical collection in this country illustrates the breadth of ignorance that prevails in the United States regarding Asian history, Asian cultures, and Asian-American realities. This ignorance has generated a decades-old myth of Asians as a "model minority" within the American population. Although much intellectual discussion has begun to challenge that myth, Asians and Asian cultures are still viewed by mainstream America as passive, polite, intelligent, hard-working and as incapable of doing poorly in school, incapable of shooting drugs, and, significantly, incapable of contracting HIV. AIDS Issues in Asian Communities "When I talk to people outside the [HIV/AIDS] field," Le notes, "they almost always ask me, 'Is AIDS a really big problem in the Asian community?' And what I tell them is that the statistics say 'no.' The statistics say that the prevalence rate among Asians is relatively small, and much smaller than among the black community or the Latino community.... But those are

A Sticky Wicket Turmoil in South Asia and a Recession at Home Have Left the Region's Powerful Indian and Pakistani Communities, Which Flocked to the Tech Sector over the Last 10 Years, in an Unfamiliar Position: Vulnerable. Leaders Hope the Challenges Will Lead to a New Vitality. by Josh Kurlantzick PHOTOGRAPHS BY FORREST MacCORMACK NATIONAL PASTIME: PAKISTANI-BORN FARAZ HAIDER (LEFT) AND INDIAN-BORN ASHOK MUDUKUTORE PLAY TOGETHER IN THE WASHINGTON CRICKET LEAGUE. BUT TENSIONS BETWEEN THEIR HOME COUNTRIES ARE CAUSING PROBLEMS FOR IMMIGRANTS HERE. Ashok Mudukutore, an Indian-born software developer for Cisco Systems and key player for the Washington Cricket League's Fairfax club, is worried about a lot of things this season, which runs from late spring to early fall. He's worried about when to hold practices, how to structure the team, and where to place extra players - familiar burdens to any after-work team captain. But this year, Mudukutore has much bigger challenges than he's faced in past seasons: political and economic turmoil. In recent months, India and Pakistan teetered on the brink of a war that some worry could go nuclear, terrorists attacked the United States, and the technology sector wallowed in recession - all of which weigh heavily on Mudukutore's Indian and Pakistani-American cricket-playing colleagues. For a community that was economically powerful and politically confidant just a little more than a year ago, these are unsettling times. Washington's powerful South Asian-American business community finds itself in an unfamiliar position of groping for new capital, new ideas, and new jobs.

Columbia University's Institute for Research in African-American Studies hosts a groundbreaking conference that examines the cultural and political dynamic between African-Americans and Asian-Americans and Blacks and Asians worldwide. The Institute, led by historian and activist Manning Marable, and the Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race, led by Gary Y. Okihiro, historian and expert in Asian-American studies, hosts a gathering of leading scholars of ethnic studies and the humanities, social scientists, and artists for the wide-ranging discussion about the relationship between blacks, America's largest minority group, and Asian-Americans, the fastest growing ethnic minority. Viewed most often through the lens of the dominant culture, these two groups increasingly share an intercultural connection that is marked by both open conflict and cooperation. "This conference explores the common differences or differences in common, the tensions between these two groups and opportunities for a common ground," said Marable. "A number of people working in research institutions are exploring the complexity and nuances of creating identity within cultures. Through their discussions with scholars and artists, the public discussion on race and identity will be enlivened," said Professor Sudhir Venkatesh, faculty member and researcher in ethnic studies who has organized the conference. Venkatesh, author of American Project, an acclaimed study of urban public housing in America, moderates panel consisting of Manning Marable, Gary Okihiro and Evelyn Hu-DeHart, director of ethnic studies, University of Boulder, Colorado and author of

When you've worked for Sen. Sam Nunn, as I did before moving to the Pentagon, you quickly learn a great deal about the state of Georgia. So this sort of feels like home coming to me. It was a wonderful opportunity to work for Sen. Nunn, who exemplifies the kind of public service I have tried to emulate in my career. Tonight I'll be talking with you about Asian-Pacific Americans in public service but it's worth noting at the outset that, for me at least, role models come in all colors.

54. HIMAL SOUTH ASIAN pakistani expatriates interacting with American politicians never miss the USledSouth East asian Treaty Organisation CENTO) agreements, the americans did not http://www.himalmag.com/december2001/opinion_4.htm

Opinion American infidelity or Pakistani duplicity? by Manzur Ejaz Pakistanis, living at home or abroad, have become masters at monologues, despising or ignoring the value of dialogue among ourselves and with others. We have convinced ourselves that we are the prime target of persecution and discrimination, ignoring our own infinite propensity to do the same within our own society and to others. We have started living by cliches. This xenophobic collective state of mind is, inadvertently, serving the interests of the state and the ruling elite and undermining the rights of the common citizen. These days, the prized cliche is that the American abandonment of Pakistan after the Soviet forced withdrawal from Afghanistan. Pakistani expatriates interacting with American politicians never miss a chance to remind them of their infidelity. While it is true that the Americans did leave the region without fulfilling their responsibility, the fact is that this reference to American infidelity cloaks many a debacle of our own making. Most Pakistanis believe that Pakistan has always stood by the United States in difficult times. A common perception is that, despite joining the US-led South East Asian Treaty Organisation (SEATO) and Central Treaty Organisation (CENTO) agreements, the Americans did not help Pakistan when it was needed the most, in its war against India. In reality, the US gave Pakistan arms worth billions of dollars to fight Communism. Wisely, Pakistan did not actively participate in any anti-Communist war other than jailing a few of its own left-leaning activist intellectuals and retired military officials.

ERIC/EECE Publications Digests Asian-American Children: What Teachers Should Know Jianhua Feng EDO-PS-94-4 June 1994 Asian-Americans constitute a significant minority in the U.S. and are one of the fastest growing ethnic groups in this country, yet little is known about their particular educational needs, especially at the early childhood and elementary levels. This digest provides information to help teachers gain a better understanding of Asian-American children, particularly those from East and Southeast Asian cultures, and identify culturally appropriate educational practices to use with those children. Asian-American Children: Who Are They? The term Asian-American covers a variety of national, cultural, and religious heritages. Indeed, Asian-Americans represent more than 29 distinct subgroups who differ in language, religion, and customs. The four major groups of Asian-Americans are East Asian, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean; Pacific Islander; Southeast Asian, such as Thai and Vietnamese; and South Asian, such as Indian and Pakistani (Pang, 1990). Although there are similarities among the various subgroups, they have different origins, ecological adaptations, and histories. Asian-American Children: Are They All "Whiz Kids"?
