America Is Becoming More Asian

[@romeamirii]

The South Asian & East Asian population in North Carolina is crazy high. I have never seen this many Asian people in Charlotte. They are setting up stores and restaurants. It’s really cool to see how diverse it’s becoming in the South Eastern states.

[@naughtydorf18]

My Asian dad who is from Plymouth, NC, was amazed by all the Asians he saw recently while in Charlotte. In my rural SC town recently, I saw 3 Asians looking at an old defunct Hardees for sale. They gave me a weird look when I said Hi Cuz to them.

I'm in nc & the majority of half my lifetime of yrs, ive lived in the smaller cities. & Still get/got thrown off. Not to say it happens alot. But it'll be fobs & what nots too. They'd my version of how'd u end up here? From all kinds of walks of life's. It's like ohhh sh. An Asian lawyer. Oh, I mean a lawyer ... Ohhh sh. The popo. Nevermind. Ohhh sh. A real estate agent. I'm just being extra,,,, Then there's ppls w/ the large families. Who lied to me & nevermind. I guess Asia in general is actually the largest population ever. Anywho I find sirarcha & Thai chilli sweet sauce at the dollar tree. I find actual chilli sauce at Walmart. I mean like originally made in Asia. I did not know Thai was that popular. Cousin country. They need to add pad Thai sauce at the grocery store ppl love that stuff, me too. But All those things r scores to me bc I hate my few days off on traveling just to run errands & what not. Bc u know, I do live in the country... Living half my life here is kinda like let me make a joke about country life. Vs y r they always mocking country folks for? U know there is cool ppl here.

As a white Chicago resident, I see why my city is not interesting to Asians. Chicago has had difficulty to innovate and update its way of doing things for a hundred years. O'Hare is America's fourth largest airport, used to be second largest up until a few years ago, larger than any airport on the East and West coasts, and does not have a direct flight to China. It's insane.

[@jeffreylee2993]

I used to fly direct to Chicago from Hong Kong and Tokyo. Are they no longer operating? Anyhow, we are talking about Asian Americans here, who don't necessarily choose to live in places that are more accessible to Asia. There are other compelling reasons to choose a place to live. What about Asians in Texas?

[@albertko1]

There's a lot of entrenched white racism in the suburbs of Chicago. This is unlike the Northeast and West where the influx, size, and influence (re: money) of the Asian communities pushed out and replaced white political power very aggressively.

[@johnnguyen6159]

In the Midwest Asians tend to live mostly near major college towns or largest metro areas (same story as mostly everywhere else in the US). In the large Midwest Metro Areas there are direct flights to Asia outside of Chicago and major Asian chains/restaurants such as H-Mart, Bambu, Kura-Sushi, Kung Fu Tea, etc. In some of the large suburban cities; the Asian population has either doubled or tripled in population where now almost 25% of the population and if you look at the school district the % of Asian students is between 40-50% which potentially means those cities will become even more Asian. One of the reasons for why typically Asians aren't in the Midwest are economic. There are some exceptions but the Midwest population has been stagnant due to deindustrialization and not being able to shift into diversifying economy enough and with that there are the issues of brain drain where students will graduate and leave the region.

The pre-WWII and WWII connection of China with the U.S.A. via the British was the reason my Dad favored the U.S.A. over Germany. Being a POW for a while in northern Germany shortly after the start of WWII during the brutal winter of 1939-1940 triggered trepidation about "walking on ice upon the river." Another reason was "Germany is not an 'immigrant' country."

[@beautanner8409]

It's presenting significant challenges up here in Canada. Our Asian populations are growing at the same rate as the US, but our population is a tenth the size. This means these enclaves are resisting integration, they're not learning the languages, and division and friction are a result. This is exacerbating the housing crisis, which is taking us down a very difficult road to come back from.

Having been born and raised here (Pnw) I have seen a meteoric rise in the seattle Asian community here…we always had a large community but it’s getting to California levels this last decade and sometimes too much of a good thing can actually backfire since we tend to make things extremely competitive. I think Californian Asians Hawaiians would understand this. Having lived in LA myself Asian communities tend to stagnate local economies and drive up costs particularly real estate. A lot of middle class opportunities tend to get over saturated or even lost because we tend to have a hoarder mentality. In Asia it’s overpopulated with limited resources and they all want the same things. So yes we may not commit crimes, do well in school, have great food & merch…but I’m afraid that too much of a good thing can throw off that delicate balance that made America the land of opportunities but is fast losing. It’s important that we preserve the American way of life, the pursuit of individual happiness and ultimately giving back to help others in our communities

It's deeper than just Asian people. The West has been creeping towards Asian-ness for the past two centuries. In particular, during the Enlightenment, many thinkers in the West looked at China with its meritocratic bureaucracy and its examination system, and thought this would be a great way to replace their own nepotistic aristocracy. Beforehand, in European universities, exams didn't matter, and education was seen as a form of personal tutoring and mentorship. Now, try getting a good education without having to take a test. And we wonder why Asians do so well in certain capacities in the West - they invented those capacities.

[@bennettbullock9690]

[@iangeraldking]

A great model city that represents all the trends you’re talking about is Toronto and the GTA. Whereas America already has African Americans and Hispanics as core foundational groups, that’s not the case in Canada. Two of the core burbs of Toronto are East Asian (Markham) and South Asian (Brampton) and, yes, our Costcos reflect that regional variety. In each of those burbs, political consolidation has already occurred to the extent that the candidates at all levels do reflect those ethnic compositions, although I would argue there is no political unity and these burbs get targeted by foreign interference (I am involved enough to be aware of CCP attempts in the East Asian ridings). In terms of Pan-Asian unity, I have some question marks in my head. I went to a high school that was so South Asian that they imported intra-South Asian ethnic grievances (for instance, Tamil Tiger stuff). The nature of “Pan-Asianness” will need a degree of North American assimilation because I feel that immigrants do import their own grievances at the first generation level.

[@shortycastella]

Hi, I’m from Toronto too. The political climate you mentioned is happening everywhere. Political unity is the lowest it has ever been everywhere in the world. I wish people could see past their differences and try to cooperate more to some degree. And with the assimilation and importing problems, that happens everywhere too. There is a saying “you can take the person out of a culture/country, but you can’t take the culture/country out of a person”. It is very difficult for someone to do that after years of conditioning through family, community, religion, etc. but it’s not impossible. It takes time, education, and some degree of assimilation, but we also cannot expect all people to be the same. People can protest and talk about certain issues here because they can and have the freedom to do so. It’s not necessarily imposing. If they cannot protest or talk about certain things in their own countries and communities, guess where they’ll go? Somewhere that is ok with freedom of expression that way. My point, is there is a bigger picture too.

I can't take spicy food and vinegar as i have a digestive disorder since birth so eat mild spice which i can control myself!!!! I only can eat Thai Pineapple fried rice, the rest i can't!!!! My favourite Asian food is Japanese and ramen is my no.1 dish before tempura and sushi!!!! I'm Singaporean but can't take spicy food, what to do. When you suffer from a digestive disorder since childhood but diagnosed too late to totally correct it!!!!

You need to see an Indian or Filipino gastroenterologist.

What is Asian? They have nothing in common. Does it mean something other than non-European? Asia is not China.

[@travis1271]

Asian mentality is not too different

[@normanchan2001]

No way you're going to find that at Marina del Rey Costco!

[@LeahDyson-kq4bd]

Costco is so chaotic I can't stand it I prefer ShopRite or whole foods

[@N192K001]

D-, that COSCO is Asian! I wish that were the one in my neighborhood, but our N.C. COSTCO's aren't even remotely that, yet.

"104%, that's beyond an A+." Even when Asians immigrate, they put in the effort for extra credit. 🤓
