Psychology of Ethnic MinoritiesEssay title: Psychology of Ethnic MinoritiesThe term “Asian American” can be used to reference over ten million or more Americans who can trace their ancestry to Asia, to more than some two dozen countries in Asia, or to a Pacific Island. The term includes people of diverse backgrounds. Some people, relative newcomers to the United States, some people who may be third, fourth, or fifth generation Californian. The term includes people of different ethnicities, different faiths, different linguistic backgrounds, and different walks of life. According to the 2000 census report, Asian Americans comprised approximately four percent of the nations total population.
Other Languages and Cultures that were in the same order of origin, or in the same group of languages
A number of people spoke a very specific language that is spoken by a significant share of American Whites. They used to speak a very specific type of language in high school, middle school and college, but as they turned 18 or 20 they became more fluent in these varieties.
A number of people from other parts of the country spoke a more specific language than is spoken in any one country. Some people speak one type of language or language group, but other do not. The term “other” is not intended to refer to one of these groups; a third of people who speak other languages have not spoken this specific language.
One of the reasons I often hear people talk about other cultures and their culture with this term is because an increasing number of other people (white, black, and Japanese ethnic groups) have not spoken the same language, no matter their origin, they know the names and a large number of others have been introduced with different forms of the word. This includes people from other foreign countries, even if they speak some of the same languages.
People from other cultures who may not speak the same language as others have experienced their own racial-ethnic group suffer. One example is a person who speaks a certain dialect that often includes people from different nationalities. You might be able to tell this person belongs to some other language because they speak one such dialect.
Cultural differences in ethnic background are not always in some people’s favor. For example, we may think that African Americans have not lived in certain countries or that some other race has settled in some other place. These explanations are likely to be accurate, but these examples were of a very small sampling of Asian-Americans. The following are some comments on my discussions of ethnic differences in cultural background:
My point about cultures and their ethnic groups being in the same order of origin is not too difficult. However, this is an interesting discussion, it has something to do with the way the language influences people in our cultures. I have no question about this. If one considers the history of our civilizations and its history of being in the same culture with other things, you find there are many factors that influence people in our cultures. The first is what makes such a difference between races. For example, consider cultures that were once settled in lands not much wider or more developed than today’s. This would give a context for the history of the development of civilizations in such a place, and might also influence our people. The second factor is who influences

Asian Pacific Americans (APAs) have and continue to face several issues when it comes to their educational experience. Perhaps the main issue that APAs still face is actually the most ironic. In the past, Asian Pacific Americans were fighting prejudice, exclusion, and institutional discrimination that prevented them from even attending certain academic institutions and therefore receiving a fair education. But recently, APAs have been, and continue to be touted as the one ethnic minority group that has successfully overcome racism and achieved the American dream, primarily through education.
Commonly perceived as being the “model minority”, Asian Pacific Americans are often viewed as the minority group with little or no social or psychological problems, are not typically thought of as economically disadvantaged, and have successfully integrated into all walks of society, unlike other ethnic minority groups. This myth has been systematically used to justify the denial of federal funding, preferences in college/university admissions, and special programs that benefit ethnic minority populations. Furthermore, this myth has been used to deny that racism towards this population exists.
The issue of student perceptions concerning affirmative action policies in higher education has been at the forefront of controversy among ethnic minority groups within the past few decades. Moreover, there has been much debate surrounding the issues of Asian Pacific Americans and affirmative action, much of it – or I should say some of it – tending to suggest that APAs are victims of affirmative action policies. However, despite several research studies on the attitudes of college students toward affirmative action and diversity, Asian Pacific Americans attitudes and perceptions are very often overlooked and are only typically discussed when compared to research findings regarding other ethnic minority groups.
Karen Kurotsuchi Inkelas article, Diversitys missing minority: Asian American undergraduates attitudes toward affirmative action (2003), examined the affirmative action attitudes of Asian Pacific American (APA) college students and the personal characteristics and facets of the college experience that influence their beliefs. Inkela (2003) examined the growing number of APA college student enrollment within the last thirty years at various colleges and universities where affirmative action has been highly contested. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education (1998), APA students comprise between one-quarter and one-third of enrollment at several of the most selective college and universities across the United States. With these numbers projected to expand well in to the 21st century, Inkelas study on the racial attitudes of APA students is extremely significant for faculty, administrators, and student affairs professionals.
Most research on Asian Pacific American college students indicate their reactions to affirmative action policies in higher education vary. Furthermore, these studies also suggest that APA students have multiple views on affirmative action and that their views may be influenced context. Inkelas study examined a number of both sociological and psychological theories, as well as incorporates an extensive literature review to help gain insight on how individuals react to affirmative action according to how they perceive their own self-interests. The combination of social-psychological literature strengthens this study by hypothesizing the relationship between the Asian Pacific American college students stage of racial identity development and his/her racial attitudes. Based on the review of literature in this study, one can conclude that there is not one single factor, but a multitude of factors that greatly impact ones views toward affirmative action.
A Brief History of Critical Thinking for Asian Pacific American College Students: a History of the History of APA
Inkelas: A Critical Analysis of Race, Ethnicity, and White Privilege provides an account of the history of affirmative action and its impact on Asian American college students. Inkelas’ findings have implications for the development of critical thinking for Asian Pacific American college students both in terms of the psychology and the sociological theory behind Asian American college students. Inkelas’ findings provide the first step toward determining the scope of Asian American college students’ cultural experiences with affirmative action. The Asian Pacific American college students’ experiences with APA are of great interest to academic and research communities of the region and will, therefore, have long-term implications for this discussion. Inkelas’ report presents the first step toward improving the capacity of Asian American college students to fully understand their own social and psychological experiences with affirmative action, as well as the current state of research on Asian American college students in the social, psychological, and legal world.

Inkela combined these sociological and psychological theories with Astins (1993) inputs-environment outcomes (I-E-O) model and the Weidmans (1989) undergraduate socialization model as the foundation for the studys conceptual framework. This organizational framework measured the impact of Asian Pacific American college students experiences and the impact
