I notice on the list of session questions, there is no #9...I wonder what it was.

Asian-Americans have to live within the lines of two cultures: the nation they live in and the culture their parents come from. Some of the Asian population lived in the US their whole lives and are multi-generational. Others are recently arrived immigrants.

Asian Stereotypes remain a problem, because the USA needs to become more familiar with the variety of cultures originating in the Asian continent. +

I kind of disagree with the girl on 4.00 m. esp when she said its gotten better for the AA actor on TV that there are more these days. I have to say that they're aren't enough and AA haven't progressed that far lately.
