Asian American Immigration CHINESE MIGRATION Beginning in the 1980s, we have been one of the fastest growing immigrant groups here in the United States. A 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act began to eliminate some of the anti-Asian racism. The act reunified families, protected the domestic labor force, and called for immigration of people with needed skills. It also made us eligible for citizenship, which we had long been waiting for. The 1965 Immigration Act abolished the national-origins quota system and created an annual quota of 20,000 of us Asians. Therefore, the amount of immigrants increased drastically as time progressed. STEREOTYPES Almost ninety percent of Chinese immigrants were women between 1946 and 1952. About 348,000 of us came here from Hong Kong and Taiwan between 1941 and 1980. Beginning in 1981, the number of immigrants increased coming from the mainland as opposed to coming from Hong Kong and Taiwan. We reached a population of 1.6 million people between 1980 and 1990. By the mid-1990s we were approximately one-third of all Asian Americans. As Chinese Americans, we are often mistaken for Vietnamese or Korean Americans. In 1994, Asian Americans were thought of as foreigners who consistently competed for jobs. We have been stereotyped as "model minorities" because we are ambitious and hard working.

Cancers in Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders: Migrant Studies Frederick P. Li, M.D. and Karen Pawlish, M.P.H Geographic Variation in Cancer Incidence Rates . Substantial geographic variations in cancer incidence rates have been found within and among nations. Data show that cancers of the lung, breast, colon/rectum, ovary, and prostate tend to be more common in developed countries In contrast, cancers of the cervix, stomach, and liver are more common in some developing countries, including most Asian nations . Among migrants, cancer incidence rates trend toward patterns in the country of adoption . These alterations in cancer rates are probably due to environmental and lifestyle changes, such as diet and cigarette smoking. Cancer rates can differ even within nations. In the U.S., lung cancer mortality rates are significantly higher in the southeast, where tobacco is cultivated and cigarette smoking rates are high . In China, lung cancer mortality rates are high in the north, in areas with widespread industrial and household pollution from fossil fuels . There are also large regional differences in nasopharyngeal cancer mortality rates in China, with higher rates in the southeast among the Cantonese; explanations may be genetic and dietary factors

Search our database by Health Topic or enter your own keywords WOMEN OF COLOR HEALTH DATA BOOK FACTORS AFFECTING THE HEALTH OF WOMEN OF COLOR Asian Americans Although health issues for Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans often are analyzed jointly, in this fact book the groups are separated. Native Pacific Islanders are considered Native Americans and are discussed with American Indians/Alaska Natives. (See discussion of Pacific Islanders in section on Native Americans.) Asian populations are discussed together. This change is made because native Pacific Islanders are only 5 percent of the Asian and Pacific Islander total and often have health outcomes more akin to those of American Indians/Alaska Natives than to Asian subpopulations. In addition, native Pacific Islanders are not immigrants to the United States as are Asian populations. Thus, an effort has been made throughout to disaggregate Asians from Pacific Islanders whenever possible, and to display data for the groups separately. Aggregate statistics for Asians and Pacific Islanders are used, however, when they are the best available. Asian Americans are immigrants to the United States (and their descendants) from more than 20 countries who speak more than 100 different languages. They come from places such as China, India, Japan, the Philippines, Korea, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand and represent more than 60 different ethnicities (22). In 1990, the largest subpopulations (in descending order) were persons of Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Asian Indian, Korean, and Southeast Asian ancestry. By the year 2000, Filipinos are projected to be the largest Asian subpopulation, followed by Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese Americans, in that order (120).

35. Quality Of Health Care For Asian Americans asian americans, particular Chinese, vietnamese, and Filipinos, are more likely to strongly agree that it is better to take care of one's own health and that http://www.hungnguyen.com/PRNews/p_quality_health_care_asian.htm

Quality of Health Care for Asian Americans The Commonwealth Fund has just released its findings from the 2001 Health Care Quality Survey. The survey, conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates from April through November 2001, consisted of 25-minute telephone interviews in English, Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean and Vietnamese with a random, national sample of 6,722 adults age 18 and older living in the continental U.S. The study oversampled adults living in areas with disproportionately large numbers of African Americans, Hispanics, and Asian Americans. The survey sample included 3488 white, 1153 Hispanics, 1037 African Americans, and 669 Asian Americans. The final data were weighted to the parameters of the adult population using the U.S. Census Bureau's March 2001 Current Population Survey. Highlights on Quality of Health Care for Asian Americans 1 in 5 Asian American adults ages 18-64 is uninsured or has been uninsured at some point in the past year, with especially high rates for Korean and Vietnamese Americans. 68% of Asian Americans have a regular doctor, though only 46% of Korean and 59% of Vietnamese respondents said they had one.

The Context ASIAN AMERICAN VOTE SPLIT AMONG DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS Although Asian Americans tend to be slightly more conservative than other minority groups in the United States, their vote in recent elections has been almost evenly split between the Republican and Democratic Parties and therefore could swing either way in particular elections, according to experts who have analyzed Asian American voting patterns. Nevertheless, data compiled by the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), a nonpartisan organization that collects and analyzes information based on U.S. Census data, indicates a trend toward the Democrats in recent years. This is attributed to concern among Asian Americans about the immigration views of some Republican officeholders. "Japanese Americans and Filipino Americans tend to vote Democratic," says Gregory Rodriguez, an expert on Asian Americans at the California-based Pepperdine Institute for Public Policy. "Vietnamese Americans lean Republican and Chinese Americans check the 'decline to state' category on their registration cards more than either major party. Korean Americans divide almost evenly between the two major parties." Asian Americans tend to be more conservative "because in general they are wealthier and better educated than most other groups, including whites," says Karl Haub, PRB's expert on the Asian American community. "This is particularly true among the longer standing groups such as the Chinese and the Japanese less true among the newer Asian American communities, particularly those who came here from Southeast Asia during the refugee migrations of the 1980s." The statistics indicate that 40 percent of Asian Americans hold a college degree compared to 25 percent of whites, for example.

38. Vietnamese Vote Strays From GOP Lee said most asianAmerican voters are moderates at heart, one reason so manyChinese- and vietnamese-americans decline to state a party preference. http://www.vpac-usa.org/vnamerican/sjmn_19990919.htm

Vietnamese vote strays from GOP Newcomers show less party loyalty Published Sunday, September 19, 1999, in the San Jose Mercury News BY KEN MCLAUGHLIN Mercury News Staff Writer Because of their staunch anti-communism and unswerving loyalty to the Republican Party, Vietnamese refugees have long been dubbed the "Cuban-Americans of California.'' But a new analysis of California voter registration data has uncovered a striking trend: Vietnamese-Americans are beginning to abandon the GOP in favor of the Democratic Party or no party at all. And although the trend isn't as dramatic, Chinese-American voters the only other major Asian-American group that has favored the GOP are beginning to register more often as Democrats or decline to state a party preference. In Santa Clara County, home to the second-largest Vietnamese emigre community in the country, more new Vietnamese-American voters registered as Democrats than Republicans in the past three years, says American Data Management Inc., a Santa Clara firm that sells voter-registration data to political campaigns nationwide. Last year, 33 percent of new Vietnamese-American voters in the county registered Democratic vs. 27.9 percent Republican. That contrasts sharply with the early 1990s, when there were three Vietnamese-American Republicans registered to vote for every Democrat.

The Vietnamese Language and Culture in the US: Did You Know? The Vietnamese population in the US has grown by 76% and the Asian Indian population by 55% since 1990. These groups have become the third and fourth in size after Chinese and Filipino. If fertility and mortality rates and net immigration continue at moderate levels, the Asian American population is likely to more than triple by 2050. (Numbers and Needs: Ethnic and Linguistic Minorities in the United States, Vol. 8, No. 4, 1998). Certain Asian groups, especially recent immigrants from Southeast Asia, have low educational levels, are more likely to be found among semi-skilled or unskilled workers, and experience high poverty rates in contrast to other groups established earlier in this country and US born Asians. (Numbers and Needs: Ethnic and Linguistic Minorities in the United States, Vol 8. No, 4, 1998). “The growing diversity of Asian Americans and relatively high rate of marriage of Asians to non-Asians in the United States are among the reasons why Asian American do not conform to the common stereotype of a U.S. racial minority.” (Asian Americans: Diverse and Growing, Sharon M.
