These immigrants were primarily men whose intention was to work for several years in order to earn incomes to send back to their families in China. Their main destination was the American West, where the Gold Rush\u00a0('49 ers) was drawing people with its lure of abundant money. The construction of the Transcontinental Railroad was underway at this time, and the Central Pacific section hired thousands of migrant Chinese men to complete the laying of rails across the rugged Sierra Nevada mountain range. Chinese men also engaged in other manual labor like mining and agricultural work. This work was grueling and underpaid, but like many immigrants, they persevered.\r\n<p id=\"import-auto-id1299473\">Japanese immigration began in the 1880s, on the heels of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. Many Japanese immigrants came to Hawaii to work in the sugar industry; others came to the mainland, especially to California. Unlike the Chinese, however, the Japanese had a strong government in their country of origin that negotiated with the U.S. government to ensure the well-being of their immigrants. Japanese men were able to bring their wives and families to the United States, and were thus able to produce second- and third-generation Japanese Americans more quickly than their Chinese counterparts.<\/p>\r\nFilipinos migrated to the United States after the U.S. annexed the Philippines in 1899. As U.S. nationals, they were not subjected to the same restrictions as other groups. Many settled in California and Hawaii and worked in agricultural jobs. Immigration slowed as a result of restrictions for several decades, but after World War II \"war brides\" began to arrive with returning U.S. servicemen. Although the Philippines obtained its independence in 1946 in the Treaty of Manila, the U.S. still became home to a large number of Filipino immigrants, with the number of immigrants quadrupling from 501,000 in 1980 to 1,942,000 in 2016.[footnote]Zong, J. and J.

Whereas many Asian immigrants came to the United States to seek better economic opportunities, Vietnamese immigrants came as political refugees, seeking asylum from repressive conditions in their homeland.

Although its popularity has varied over time, opium use spread, especially on the west coast, because many Chinese immigrants brought the knowledge and familiarity of opium dens to the United States. San Francisco passed an ordinance against opium dens in 1875, making it a misdemeanor to keep or visit any place where opium was smoked, though the law also served to discriminate against the Chinese. For example, the\u00a0<em>San Francisco Chronicle\u00a0<\/em>explained that the Board of Supervisors acted to ban opium dens after learning of \"opium-smoking establishments kept by Chinese, for the exclusive use of white men and women\" and of \"young men and women of respectable parentage\" going there.[footnote]Fisher, G. 2014. \"The Drug War at 100.\" Stanford Law School Aggregate Blog. <a href=\"https:\/\/law.stanford.edu\/2014\/12\/19\/the-drug-war-at-100\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/law.stanford.edu\/2014\/12\/19\/the-drug-war-at-100\/<\/a>.[\/footnote]\r\n\r\n<section id=\"fs-id1381347\">\r\n<p id=\"import-auto-id1673459\">This early act of discrimination was quickly followed by the\u00a0Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882,\u00a0which restricted immigration from China. This act was a result of anti-Chinese sentiment, which was further exacerbated by a depressed economy and loss of jobs. White workers blamed Chinese migrants for taking jobs, and the passage of the Act meant the number of available Chinese workers decreased. Chinese men did not have the funds to return to China or to bring their families to the United States, so they remained physically and culturally segregated in the Chinatowns of large cities.\u00a0Nevertheless, some eventually opened businesses such as laundromats or other service establishments.<\/p>\r\nIn\u00a0<em>Yick Wo v. Hopkins\u00a0<\/em>(1886), the Supreme Court ruled that it is a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to administer a law that is ostensibly race-neutral in a prejudicial way with regard to a particular group of people. The plaintiff, Yick Wo, a non-citizen Chinese immigrant who owned a laundry in a wooden building (common in San Francisco, though technically illegal) was denied a permit (along with every other Chinese-owned laundromat), though whites in the same situation were granted permits. This was a landmark case because it established equal protection for non-citizens residing in the U.S.\r\n\r\n<\/section><section id=\"fs-id1381347\">Although Japanese Americans have deep, long-reaching roots in the United States, their history here has not always been smooth. Restrictions on Japanese immigration took the form of the Gentleman's Agreement in 1907 between the U.S. and Japan, wherein President Theodore Roosevelt agreed to urge the City of San Francisco to end a school segregation order affecting Japanese students, and the\u00a0Japanese emperor agreed in turn not to issue any new passports for Japanese citizens looking to work in the U.S. (although it did not prevent \"picture brides\" from coming to the U.S. to marry Japanese men).\u00a0<\/section><section><\/section><section>The California Alien Land Law of 1913 was aimed at the Japanese and other Asian immigrants, and it prohibited aliens from owning land.\u00a0The Immigration Act of 1924 completely excluded Asian immigrants from entering the United States.\u00a0The Act included the race-based National Origins Act, which was aimed at keeping U.S. ethnic stock as undiluted as possible by reducing \u201cundesirable\u201d immigrants. It was not until after the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 that Chinese immigration again increased, and many Chinese families were reunited. Another notoriously discriminatory policy against the Japanese were the internment camps of World War II, discussed earlier as an illustration of expulsion.<\/section><section id=\"fs-id1674578\">\r\n<h2>Current Status<\/h2>\r\nAsian Americans are a rapidly growing part of the population. The New York University (NYU) Center for the Study of Asian American Health examines growth in New York City. Researchers there found that New York City (NYC) is home to nearly 1.2 million documented and undocumented Asian Americans, representing more than 13% of the total NYC population.

The <strong>model minority<\/strong> stereotype is applied to a group that is seen as achieving significant educational, professional, and socioeconomic success without challenging the existing establishment. This stereotype is typically applied to Asian groups in the United States, and it can result in unrealistic expectations by putting a stigma on those who do not meet the presumed standard. Stereotyping all Asians as smart and capable can also limit much-needed government assistance, and can result in educational and professional discrimination.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/section>The reality is quite different for most Asian Americans, especially recent immigrants. Although there are stories of Chinese billionaires buying properties for their children studying in the U.S. and about the influx of educated, highly-skilled Asians seeking employment in STEM fields, many of the poorest Asian groups in the U.S. have a vastly different quality of life. Although unemployment remains low among Asian Americans, 12.3 percent live below the federal poverty level, with almost 20 percent of Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders living in poverty (according to the American Community Survey (ACS), an annual survey similar to the U.S. Census, conducted every ten years).[footnote]Tran, V. 2018. \"Asian Americans are Falling Through the Cracks,\" Urban Wire. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urban.org\/urban-wire\/asian-americans-are-falling-through-cracks-data-representation-and-social-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.urban.org\/urban-wire\/asian-americans-are-falling-through-cracks-data-representation-and-social-services<\/a>.[\/footnote] According to the NYC Opportunity tabulations, 17.9 percent of people living in poverty in New York City were Asian Americans, and they had the highest poverty rate of\u00a0<em>any\u00a0<\/em>racial or ethnic group at 29 percent.

Whereas many Asian immigrants came to the United States to seek better economic opportunities, Vietnamese immigrants came as political refugees, seeking asylum from repressive conditions in their homeland. The Refugee Act of 1980 helped them settle in the United States, with large numbers coming from Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Many of these refugees settled in California, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, forming ethnic enclaves in urban areas.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 253px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/courses-images\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2016\/04\/15204406\/Figure_11_05_02a.jpg\" alt=\"A black and white image of a crowded boat containing Vietnamese refugees.\" width=\"243\" height=\"722\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Figure 3.\u00a0<\/strong>Thirty-five Vietnamese refugees wait to be taken aboard the amphibious USS Blue Ridge (LCC-19).

Although its popularity has varied over time, opium use spread, especially on the west coast, because many Chinese immigrants brought the knowledge and familiarity of opium dens to the United States. San Francisco passed an ordinance against opium dens in 1875, making it a misdemeanor to keep or visit any place where opium was smoked, though the law also served to discriminate against the Chinese. For example, the\u00a0<em>San Francisco Chronicle\u00a0<\/em>explained that the Board of Supervisors acted to ban opium dens after learning of &#8220;opium-smoking establishments kept by Chinese, for the exclusive use of white men and women&#8221; and of &#8220;young men and women of respectable parentage&#8221; going there.<a class=\"footnote\" title=\"Fisher, G. 2014. &quot;The Drug War at 100.&quot; Stanford Law School Aggregate Blog. https:\/\/law.stanford.edu\/2014\/12\/19\/the-drug-war-at-100\/.\" id=\"return-footnote-1367-5\" href=\"#footnote-1367-5\" aria-label=\"Footnote 5\"><sup class=\"footnote\">[5]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n<section id=\"fs-id1381347\">\n<p id=\"import-auto-id1673459\">This early act of discrimination was quickly followed by the\u00a0Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882,\u00a0which restricted immigration from China. This act was a result of anti-Chinese sentiment, which was further exacerbated by a depressed economy and loss of jobs. White workers blamed Chinese migrants for taking jobs, and the passage of the Act meant the number of available Chinese workers decreased. Chinese men did not have the funds to return to China or to bring their families to the United States, so they remained physically and culturally segregated in the Chinatowns of large cities.\u00a0Nevertheless, some eventually opened businesses such as laundromats or other service establishments.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0<em>Yick Wo v. Hopkins\u00a0<\/em>(1886), the Supreme Court ruled that it is a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to administer a law that is ostensibly race-neutral in a prejudicial way with regard to a particular group of people. The plaintiff, Yick Wo, a non-citizen Chinese immigrant who owned a laundry in a wooden building (common in San Francisco, though technically illegal) was denied a permit (along with every other Chinese-owned laundromat), though whites in the same situation were granted permits. This was a landmark case because it established equal protection for non-citizens residing in the U.S.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"fs-id1381347\">Although Japanese Americans have deep, long-reaching roots in the United States, their history here has not always been smooth. Restrictions on Japanese immigration took the form of the Gentleman&#8217;s Agreement in 1907 between the U.S. and Japan, wherein President Theodore Roosevelt agreed to urge the City of San Francisco to end a school segregation order affecting Japanese students, and the\u00a0Japanese emperor agreed in turn not to issue any new passports for Japanese citizens looking to work in the U.S. (although it did not prevent &#8220;picture brides&#8221; from coming to the U.S. to marry Japanese men).\u00a0<\/section>\n<section><\/section>\n<section>The California Alien Land Law of 1913 was aimed at the Japanese and other Asian immigrants, and it prohibited aliens from owning land.\u00a0The Immigration Act of 1924 completely excluded Asian immigrants from entering the United States.\u00a0The Act included the race-based National Origins Act, which was aimed at keeping U.S. ethnic stock as undiluted as possible by reducing \u201cundesirable\u201d immigrants. It was not until after the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 that Chinese immigration again increased, and many Chinese families were reunited. Another notoriously discriminatory policy against the Japanese were the internment camps of World War II, discussed earlier as an illustration of expulsion.<\/section>\n<section id=\"fs-id1674578\">\n<h2>Current Status<\/h2>\n<p>Asian Americans are a rapidly growing part of the population. The New York University (NYU) Center for the Study of Asian American Health examines growth in New York City. Researchers there found that New York City (NYC) is home to nearly 1.2 million documented and undocumented Asian Americans, representing more than 13% of the total NYC population.

The <strong>model minority<\/strong> stereotype is applied to a group that is seen as achieving significant educational, professional, and socioeconomic success without challenging the existing establishment. This stereotype is typically applied to Asian groups in the United States, and it can result in unrealistic expectations by putting a stigma on those who do not meet the presumed standard. Stereotyping all Asians as smart and capable can also limit much-needed government assistance, and can result in educational and professional discrimination.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>The reality is quite different for most Asian Americans, especially recent immigrants. Although there are stories of Chinese billionaires buying properties for their children studying in the U.S. and about the influx of educated, highly-skilled Asians seeking employment in STEM fields, many of the poorest Asian groups in the U.S. have a vastly different quality of life. Although unemployment remains low among Asian Americans, 12.3 percent live below the federal poverty level, with almost 20 percent of Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders living in poverty (according to the American Community Survey (ACS), an annual survey similar to the U.S. Census, conducted every ten years).<a class=\"footnote\" title=\"Tran, V. 2018. &quot;Asian Americans are Falling Through the Cracks,&quot; Urban Wire. https:\/\/www.urban.org\/urban-wire\/asian-americans-are-falling-through-cracks-data-representation-and-social-services.\" id=\"return-footnote-1367-6\" href=\"#footnote-1367-6\" aria-label=\"Footnote 6\"><sup class=\"footnote\">[6]<\/sup><\/a> According to the NYC Opportunity tabulations, 17.9 percent of people living in poverty in New York City were Asian Americans, and they had the highest poverty rate of\u00a0<em>any\u00a0<\/em>racial or ethnic group at 29 percent.
