Asians in America

Today, Asians and Asian Americans make up almost 5% of the population of the US and although immigration is seen as a modern issue, in fact settlers from the Philippines and China were making their homes here as long ago as the 1700’s.

 

From Yahoo’s Jerry Wang to reporter Connie Chung, actress Lucy Liu to Nobel Prize winners, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar and Steven Chu, the influence of Asian immigrants and Asian Americans can be found in every aspect of life in the US.
