Pyong Gap Min, a sociologist and Professor of Sociology at Queens College, has stated the term is merely political, used by Asian-American “activists” and further reinforced by the government. Beyond that, he feels that many of the diverse Asian people do not have commonalities in “culture, physical characteristics, or pre-migrant histories.”

In other words, your words and ideas @michaels are meant to be racially malignant and ethnically divisive.

Again, a Panethnic definition of an Asian American IS A UNIQUE AMERICAN CONSTRUCT. It is the exact same construct for every ethnicity in America. It is why we Americans don’t recognize VP Harris as being Asian American (or Jamaican American), she’s American to us and we expect to be Americans to you and everyone else.

My grandmother gave me an answer when asked if she was Asian American, American Asian, Asian or American, “We are Americans. Dumb question. We know who we are and where we live. Eat your dinner, stop wasting time, auntie is facetiming in an hour. What’s this about cybersecurity hacks? Should I worry?”

When you refer to the US civil war, learn your history.

Arabs were the slave traders in Africa and they consider themselves superior to African blacks, as the Arabic language has derogatory terms used for centuries for black, Asian and Caucasian ethnic groups. Grow up and learn history from more than CNN and California public schools all taught by biased ignorants.
