University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign | 2005-2006 Asiantation is not Orientation Why is it called Asiantation, instead of Orientation? The thought for the name “Asiantation“ came quite by accident, but the title Asiantation wasn’t intended merely as a catchy name. The following poem explains it best. ASIAN ORIENTAL is not is slanty eyes, glasses, and buck teeth Oriental. Charlie Chan, Tokyo Rose, Madam Butterfly. head bowed, submissive, industrious it’s “a half hour after eating Chinese food model minority you’re hungry again” hard working, studious it’s houseboys, gardeners, and laundrymen quite Oriental is a fad: yin-yang, kung fu “say one of them funny words for me” ASIAN Oriental is downcast eyes, china doll is not being ”they all look alike” Oriental Oriental is sneaky Lotus blossom, exotic passion flower Oriental is a white man’s word. inscrutable. WE ASIAN ARE NOT Oriental. is no talking We have learned the word all our lives Oriental we have learned to be Oriental ahh so, ching chong chinaman we have learned to live it, speak it, no tickee, no washee play the role. The time has come ORIENTAL to look at who gave the name. is a white man’s word ORIENTAL is jap, flip, chink, gook it’s “how ‘bout a back rub mama-san” - Anonymous it’s “you people could teach them niggers and Mexicans a thing or two you’re good people none of that hollerin’ and protesting” As the poem states, "Asian is not oriental." The term "oriental" has been imposed upon Asians to emphasize the differences in many cases, the inferiority of Asian people. The term "Asian American" or "Asian Pacific American" however, is a term of empowerment, of Asians assuming control of the way they are viewed.

    Active Choices Champaign County Greenways & Trails Plan Existing Conditions 10 EXISTING CONDITIONS 10.1 Existing Conditions: Greenways A greenway is a corridor of open land managed for conservation and/or recreation. Greenways may follow natural land or water features such as rivers, shorelines or ridges, or human landscape features such as abandoned railroad corridors, trails, or canals. Greenways may form connections between communities, parks, historic and cultural sites, and nature preserves. Although they differ in their location and function, they provide recreational benefits, protect natural areas, enhance natural beauty and quality of life, and/or stimulate economic development opportunities in neighborhoods and communities. Four types of greenways are described in this section, by jurisdiction: • Public Park: publicly owned park available for public use. • Public Golf Course: publicly or privately owned golf course available for public use. • Public/Private Recreational: privately owned recreational land available for public use. • Private Recreational: privately owned recreational land not available for public use. Recreational and athletic facilities that Greenways & Trails member agencies own, manage, or use are also listed. 10.1.1 Champaign County Champaign County is located in the heart of east-central Illinois.
