What does Asian mean?

Asians refer to Asian citizens, including Chinese, Korean, Indian-American and Filipino Americans in the United States. The migration time was mostly in the 1940s and 1950s. As of 20 17, 1, Asians account for 5.4% of the American population.

Although the specific situation of Asian ethnic groups is different, the trend of cultural choice is generally consistent with that of Chinese, and they basically agree with the United States without hesitation. In the 1960s and 1970s, the situation reversed, that is, most Asian Americans advocated giving up the pursuit of American mainstream culture and establishing the real status of Asian American culture in American society by examining their social status and identity attributes in the United States.

This change is a milestone, reflecting the profound awakening of pan-Asian ethnic consciousness in the United States, and it is a fruitful spiritual achievement achieved by all Asian Americans in a specific historical period. This paper will focus on the internal and external causes of the formation of pan-Asian ethnic consciousness, and explore the cultural significance of the title "Asian American". The formation of Pan-Asian national consciousness has a profound social and historical background.
