Asain Americans

In the Marger reading, there was one part of Chapter Nine that really was unsettling. There was a National Survey that was taken in 2001. This survey showed how much prejudice there was in the United States against Asian Americans. This survey bothered me because over half of the individuals who took this survey felt that too many Asian Americans were working in the technology buisness. These people don't want too many Asian Americans working in technology because they believe Asian Americans are sending information to China. This just baffled me on how ignorant some people in our country can be. Just because one ethnicity can exceed the dominant group in a certain topic, doesn't mean that ethnic group is doing something bad with their advancements. It is as if the dominant group has to always find something wrong, just so that they can keep the heirarchy. It really grinds my gears. Also, other issue I have with this survey is that the general public who took this survey automatically believed that every Asain American that works in technology was Chinese and that is why they would be sinding information to China. It just goes to show you how little people know about Asian Americans.
