Using information gathered at these conferences as a point of departure, the Commission undertook this study of the wide-ranging civil rights issues facing Asian Americans in the 1990s. Asian American groups considered in the report are persons having origins in the Far East, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. This report presents the results of that investigation. Evidence is presented that Asian Americans face widespread prejudice, discrimination, and barriers to equal opportunity. The following chapters highlight specificareas: (1) "Introduction," an overview of the problems;(2) "Bigotry and Violence Against Asian Americans"; (3) "Police Community Relations"; (4) "Access to Educational Opportunity: Asian American Immigrant Children in Primary and Secondary Schools";(5) "Access to Educational Opportunity: Higher Education"; (6) "Employment Discrimination";(7) "Other Civil Rights Issues Confronting Asian AmericansH; and (8) "Conclusions and Recommendations."

  • "EMERGING TOGETHER" in Celebration of Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month
    "EMERGING TOGETHER" In celebration of Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month I. Introduction A fact that might surprise many people in the United States is that over half of the world’s population (58%) is Asian. The U.S. population is becoming increasingly diverse, probably the most diverse in the world. According to the 2000 Census, Asian Pacific Americans are the fastest growing minority group in the country, now comprising over 4% of the population. (However, Hispanics had the largest increase in population from the 1990 Census.) Like other immigrants who brought their unique culture and heritage to America, Asian Pacific American influence and contributions have Asian Americans have been a permeated almost every facet of American life. Yo-Yo part of American life for over Ma (cellist), I.M. Pei (architect), Norman Y. Mineta 150 years! (former Secretary of Transportation), Elaine Chao (former Secretary of Labor), Michael Chang (tennis player), Tiger Woods (pro-golfer), Michelle Kwan (figure skater), Ann Curry (“Today Show” anchor), Jerry Yang (co-founder of Yahoo), Dr. David Ho (Time’s Man of the Year in 1996), Gary Locke (Secretary of Commerce and former Washington governor), Jocelyn Enriquez (hip hop singer), Lucy Liu (“Ally McBeal” actress), Ang Lee (Director of the 2000 Academy Award winner “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”) and Vera Wang (fashion designer) are just some of the Asian Pacific Americans whose names may be familiar to you. There are also achievers in the fields of science, research, medicine, computer science, and technology whose contributions to American life may be well known only to those within their professions.
