Moreover, as part of the Asian immigrant Students Discourse community, my personal experience isn’t great either when I first arrived in the United States. Indeed has become the main reason that I want to choose this particular topic about Asian immigrant Students right. I remember back in the middle school days, all the students wasn’t allow go to any classroom during the break, otherwise if any student caught by the security; they may get the detention from the Principal.

    A review of Eric Lius', The Accidental Asian, and his search for self-discovery. Looking at how his experiences growing up relate to current and future generations of students who are trying to find where they belong in this ethnically structured society. Through Liu’s experiences, we can understand the struggle of identity and help students find their own. Finding that we do not have to have a strong connection to our heritage to have a strong identity and looking for our roots does not make us any less of the person we are now. Breaking stereotypes and understanding others is how we can help students in the future.

    Before there were laws in place, immigrant students did not receive the education they deserved mostly because the teachers would try to make the classroom an English only room. This was exemplified when Francisco started school and found a friend who spoke Spanish. When the teacher overheard them speaking Spanish in class she screamed at them to only speak English. Not only did Francisco get in trouble for speaking his native language but the friend also stayed away from him after that so they would not get in trouble. This is an example of student to teacher discrimination.

    In the year 2016, most people in the United States are accepting, and even appreciative of other cultures. In today’s school systems, though some schools are more diverse than others are, there is always a mix of students from different races and cultures. There are no “white schools”, “black schools”, “Chinese schools”, or schools that completely and openly segregate and are racist toward students of different cultures. However, it has not always been that way. On California’s west coast, in and around the year 1906, there was much bigotry toward the Chinese immigrants that lived in Chinatown.

  • Analysis Of Always Running By Luis Rodriguez

    According to Rodriguez, one of his first experiences in school was being put in the back of the classroom, being ignored and isolated. His first teacher basically let him “‘play with some blocks until [they] figure out how to get [him] more involved’” just because he did not speak any English (Rodriguez, 26). Often times, many teachers during this time did not know how to deal with Mexican or Chicano students who did not speak much or any English, so they usually were neglected or not favored over their white counterparts. Consequently, many young Mexicans and Chicanos grow disinterested in school (usually even drop out) due to the fact they are left out or not accommodated for. Rodriguez calls this type of education system, a “two-tiered” education system, where whites were given a better quality education compared to their colored counterparts.

  • Summary: The Centrality Of Racism

    506 Words  | 3 Pages

    When filling out surveys or job applications, all Asians must check off the “Asian American” box regardless of national origin or place of birth, forcing a single classification on an extremely diverse group. This aggregated approach to understanding Asian American is not new, it has been present since the us versus them Occident-Orient approach that powered racism against early Asian immigrants. With the increasing presence of second and third generation Asian Americans, it is time to redefine what it means to be Asian American and to discover a new manner of framing the Asian American experience as unified yet diverse. The best approach to emphasize diversity is through stressing the national, socio-economic and gender differences within the Asian American

  • Being A Mexican American Essay

    328 Words  | 2 Pages

    One of the toughest adjustments, having been born to Mexican parents, is migrating to an unknown country where traditions and languages differ from one 's own. Though many pursue an education and strive for a better life, the purpose behind an immigrant, like myself, differs from the typical American. Immigrants strive for a life that was once impossible, going to school is not only to attain an education, but to better prove that we can also become successful regardless of our traditions and skin color. I lived in a country for over fifteen years, fearing deportation, not only losing a home, but potentially saying goodbye to a bright future. Although many feel empathy for Mexican-Americans, it is undeniably difficult to truly comprehend the immense trauma children and even adults undergo  upon experiencing racism and prejudice.

This was until the year 1965 when changes were made in the immigration laws eliminating race as an immigration factor.

    Asian Americans include persons that come to the United States from a variety of countries in Asia and the Indian subcontinent (McNamara & Burns, 2009). Although the do share similar physical features, each subgroup has its own history, customs, and culture (McNamara & Burns, 2009). There are many different perceptions of Asian Americans in general. One is that they have overcome barriers and discrimination to be successful and achieve the ‘American Dream’ (McNamara & Burns, 2009). One reason for this I believe is that the majority of Asian Americans come to the United States with a dream and a goal to be successful.

    Immigrants and Education We believe that teachers and parents are struggling to make their students and children involved in a different community from their original community. Because these students have different cultures, languages and values from their teachers who are doing their best to meet the needs of all international students (Shurki & Richard, 2009).
