In Reply to: RE: I looked up some numbers. By 2012 75% of all Asians residing inthe U.S. were foriegn born posted by Analog Scott on September 14, 2020 at 05:38:50
BTW, if I may ask, what's the source for your 75% figure?
Follow Ups:
I exagerated. It was 74% and ony adults in 2012. But....any non adult Asian born in the U.S. will likely be the son or daughter of an immigrant if the number of adults is 74%. Which supports my point that comparing African Americans to Asian Americans because of Chinese slavery 150 years ago or the incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII is profoundly skewed by the current makeup of the Asian population in America today.

Thanks for the link BTW. ;-)
Most Asians living in America are not decendents of Chinese slaves or Japanese concentration camps. So juxtapositioning Asians living in the U.S. with African Americans as two oppressed groups does not hold water. The vast majority of Asians living in America do not share a lineage of severe oppression that almost all African Americans carry. And IF that were the primary cause of lack of representation in American Orchestras it would not apply to Asians.
