What does it mean to be Asian?

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

2. Although the specific conditions of Asian ethnic groups are different, their cultural choices are generally consistent with those 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.

3. This change is a milestone, which reflects the profound awakening of pan-Asian ethnic consciousness in the United States and is a fruitful spiritual achievement of 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.
