[F24, Sec. A] Exploring Asian-American and Pacific Islander Data by Barry Goldenberg

Comparing Korean and Viet

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

I decided to compare Korean and Vietnamese and their education, income, and homeownership. From observing the data Koreans are more educated as in they have higher percentage of attaining degrees than Vietnamese people. When comparing income and poverty the numbers were quite similar but more Korean seniors were in poverty and more children of Vietnamese were in poverty. This was an interesting find to me. As for homeownership Vietnamese have about 20% more than Korean. School policies can change or adjust their perspective or policies around school equity by focusing on equal treatment and resources for every type of race/background, and avoid assumptions and stereotypes as they are not accurate. They can recognize the diversity to act on school equity.

We found amongst Asian, Filipino, Japanese that they all have high percentages in getting an education of Bachelor's Degree or Higher, and at the same time low rates of poverty overall. However, in comparing these three groups, those who received more education, were more likely to have higher poverty rates. For example, Asian Indians had the highest percentage of an educated population but also the highest of all three in rates of poverty. We also noticed that the Filipino population, though they have the lowest poverty rate and lowest education rate, they have the highest share of seniors in poverty. We concluded between these groups once you achieve a high education you're more likely to have higher rates of poverty overall, but at the same time, if you don't achieve a high rate of education, you may end up in poverty later down the road.

With high poverty rates among Chinese and Korean seniors and children, schools might need to integrate more comprehensive support systems for these students.

Indian v Pakistani v Asian American poverty rates

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

I decided to compare the income and poverty rates between Asian Indians and Pakistanis as these 2 countries border each other and are often confused for one another as they both fall under the Indian subcontinent and labeled as South Asian.

This really struck me as while Indians fell under the overall share of poverty percentage, they were above the share of seniors and children in poverty. I can somewhat interpret this as being South Asian myself, there is a culture of having multiple generations within a household, having grandparents in the same house as their grandchildren would explain the high rates of seniors in poverty among both Indians and Pakistanis.

Commenting on the rates of Pakistani poverty, it took me by surprise as I knew there was a disparity in the wealth gap, but not to that degree especially considering the 1965 immigration laws that passed encouraging educated Asians to immigrate to the US.

Education:

- More Chinese and Korean people have finished college than the average in the U.S.

- Fewer Chinese and Korean people have only finished high school than the average.

- More Chinese people haven't finished high school compared to Korean people and the U.S. average.

schools:

- Help kids early on, especially if they speak another language at home.

- Make sure teaching respects different cultures because not all students are the same.

- Make sure there are ways to help kids whose parents didn't go to school much.

- Keep helping kids go to college because Chinese and Korean communities think it's important.

- Make special programs for kids who might not finish high school.

This shows that although Asian Americans are more likely to have individuals pursuing higher education compared to the U.S. total, Cambodian Americans statistically earn fewer Bachelor's degrees and have higher poverty rates compared to the U.S. total and Asian Americans overall. Likewise, educational institutions should give academic assistance to Asian students instead of contributing to the model minority myth and assuming that all Asian students will excel academically without help.

US vs. Filipino

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

I compared pacific islanders and Samoans to the US total because I was interested to see because they are not a highly represented group. Children in poverty was much higher for Samoans for some reason. In each group poverty is higher than the US total

Education and Income & Poverty Comparisons for the Vietnamese, Filipinos, and the total US population

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

The groups we chose were Filipinos, Vietnamese, and the US total population. Comparing education, we found that interestingly Filipinos have higher percentages of completing a Bachelor's degree or higher than both Vietnamese and US total. However, Filipinos have a lower percentage in high school completion compared to the other two groups. Other than education, we also compared Income & Poverty and found that Vietnamese have higher poverty rates in the overall population.
One of the ways in which school policies or educational researchers can adjust their perspectives and policies would be to get rid of the model minority myth ideology in their head. The myth places all Asian ethnicities in the same category and projecting the same stereotypes among all ethnicities. However, as found in the data, it is obvious that the different ethnicities under the Asian racial umbrella have different living circumstances.

Something we found interesting when comparing the education levels, population, and overall share in poverty from these groups was how much of the overall share of poverty pacific islanders hold when compared to Filipinos and Asian Americans. Despite being less than half the population of Filipinos, Pacific Islanders have an overall share in poverty that is three times the amount of Filipinos. We were curious about the possible factors that caused this.

I compared Chinese, Korean, and Japanese, I found three of these groups have a similar education on Bachelor's degree as well as high school education. However, the Chinese have the highest percentage of Less than a high school degree compared to Korean and Japanese. Thus this shows while there are similarities in the education of the three groups, there are significant differences in the lower educational attainment of the Chinese group. This gap may be due to various factors, such as differences in socioeconomic conditions, educational opportunities, or access to resources. --Carys Tam

US Total v. AA v. Vietnamese

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

Within three parameters I was looking at between these categories (Income and Poverty, Education, and Top States), both Education and Top States had relatively similar statistics, even in overall poverty rates between all categories. However, I found a large discrepancy in share of seniors in poverty and share of children in poverty. The Vietnamese population had 16% more poverty in their seniors and around 11-13% more poverty in their children compared to overall U.S. population and the Asian-American population. I might attribute this significant difference by historical migrations during the Vietnam War. I know for my grandparents who immigrated during this time after the fall of South Vietnam who fall in this senior category. As immigrants, they had started off at a socioeconomic disadvantage starting essentially an entire new life for themselves in a new country, and I can imagine that in the present, many Vietnamese immigrants still struggle to make ends meet because of this historical migration factor.

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

When comparing the education and poverty levels of the U.S. vs. Asian Americans vs. Hmong Americans it is evident that more Asian Americans overall have completed a bachelor's degree or higher compared to the U.S. overall. However, when looking at Hmong Americans, it can be seen way less of their population achieve a bachelor's degree or higher and are more likely to be in poverty than the U.S. overall and Asian Americans. While it may seem that all Asian Americans are successful and high achieving, this notion often ignores the struggles of specific Asian ethnicities that are pushed under the umbrella of Asian American.

Exploring Asian-American and Pacific Islander Data

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

In using the website, I compared Vietnamese and Korean groups. I chose education, home ownership, and health insurance. I found that Koreans have a higher percentage of getting a bachelors degree + higher (55.9%) and sharing a private health insurance ( 71.2%). I also found that Vietnamese tend to have higher percentage of not earning a high school degree or more (26%) as well as being share of home owners (71.9%). Knowing this information, I believe that schools or educational researchers can adjust their perspectives around school equity by giving the same attention to all students in terms of resources and assistance (tutoring, after school programs, etc.) regardless of race or ethnic background in order to ensure that all students obtain the same educational opportunities in order for them to succeed.

Ruby Arevalo

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

I compared Asian Americans, US total, and Filipinos. I found that Filipinos have a lower poverty rate than Asian Americans as a whole, so this shows that there is a large range of incomes when it comes to Asian Americans. Educational researchers can make sure that educators realize how different the group of Asian Americans is.

Keilee Tizon

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

I found it interesting how the education levels for all 3 groups are somewhat close to each other. Another section I noticed that had a similar situation was the health insurance factor, all groups had a similar percentage for the private sector. Using this information, schools can adjust their perspective in terms of providing equal access to opportunities and mentorship programs to all backgrounds, challenging the stereotype threat that all Asian Americans are smarter than their peers.

- Omar Pizana-Hernandez

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

I compared the data between Vietnamese, Japanese, and Korean. When I was reviewing the total population, population growth, income and poverty, and homeownership, I noticed Vietnamese had an overall higher percentage. Their lowest was actually education, with a score consistently in the 20s compared to 50% of Japanese and Korean people having a Bachelor's degree. We talked about how teachers might not pay attention to Asian-American students because they falsely believe they don't need help. For that, it would be beneficial to enact policies that encourage educators to offer help to everyone rather than restricting it for students they think need "more" help. Certain students shouldn't be neglected when they go to school for the same reason as everyone else: to learn.

We found it interesting that 53.5% of Asian Americans as a whole have a degree compared to only 16% for Laotian. We played around with the website and most Asians reside in California. Schools might need to integrate resources that help everyone equally in their education. Based on what we know, some ethnicities receive better support from faculty and better academic preparation, which most likely contributes to their success in the future.

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

We decide who choose Chinese, U.S.and Asian American to compare. We mainly focused on Education and Income. Understanding these differences can influence school policies and educational research in several ways: Educational researchers might investigate the causes of lower high school completion rates among Chinese Americans and develop targeted interventions to support students at risk of not completing high school. The high poverty rate among Chinese American seniors could prompt researchers and policymakers to consider how this impacts the support structures for children’s education within these communities, as financial hardship could affect the resources available for children’s academic needs. School policies may need to be adjusted to ensure equitable resource allocation that recognizes the higher educational attainment of Asian American students, while also addressing the needs of those who are at risk of or experiencing poverty. Given the cultural diversity within the Asian American category, policies might be adjusted to be more culturally sensitive and responsive, acknowledging that community support structures and challenges can vary widely. The data suggests a need for a multigenerational approach to education policy, recognizing the link between children's educational outcomes and the economic stability of their households, including their elderly family members.

Comparing Filipino, Taiwanese, and US Totals for education, income and poverty, and health insurance.

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

According to the statistical findings, Filipinos are half as likely to get a bachelor's degree or higher compared to Taiwanese but still outrun the US total by 10%. All three of these groups are in the lower spectrum of poverty and all three demonstrate a high percentage of having private health insurance. I think this does a great job of demonstrating that not all Asian groups are the same and have different circumstances. In this case, education was the largest difference which exhibits how despite the stigma of Asian Americans being very smart and needing little attention in school, some may need more help than others but due to this stigma, they are often neglected. Therefore, schools and education systems need to change their perspectives and give the same amount of attention to all students and not neglect others because of stigmas or beliefs they have about a certain ethnic group.

-Miranda Melgar

Samoan, Pacific Islander, Asian American Comparisons

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

In terms of homeownership, Samoans were much less likely to own a home. This suggests that it's likely they are living in shared spaces with many people, which can ultimately impact their educational achievement. Also this can suggest housing insecurity which could be connected to food insecurity and many other challenges, which all ultimately affect academic performance.
In general, it's important to make these distinctions as Samoan experiences differ greatly in share of seniors in poverty, for example, from the bigger group of Pacific Islanders, compared to the biggest group of Asian Americans. Making these distinctions help target efforts where they're most needed.
This affects school policies and educational researchers by emphasizing the different experiences within Asian communities and how they can affect their predispositions for academic performance.

East Asian vs Southeast Asian

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

The model minority myth is largely based on the observed successes of East Asians that come from developed countries such as China, Korea, and Japan. Asians from poorer, less developed countries in Southeast Asia often suffer from higher rates of poverty and less educational attainment, but it is overlooked because of the success of East Asian groups.

-matthew hirokawa

Native Hawaiian, Samoan, Pakistani

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

Pakistani group has a higher level of education compared to Hawaiian and Samoan groups. Pakistani also has a higher rate of homeownership, with Hawaiian following close behind. As for poverty and income levels, all 3 groups are similar to each other and within the range of 15-18%. Native Hawaiian has a similar poverty rate to Pakistani, but has a much higher rate of homeownership compared to Samoan group. Schools can add additional support systems and acknowledge the different backgrounds for these students. It would be good if schools implemented financial literacy classes because the rate of poverty is quite high, indicating that there is bad stability in households, and could also explain the low homeownership rates.

The groups I compared were Education and Income and Poverty. School policymakers may change their perspectives around school equity because the data shows how although there is a higher turnout in education for Asian-Americans, there is an increase in poverty rate for them as well. There must be some acknowledgment to the financial conditions some of these people are living in.

Filipinos, Koreans & Cambodians,

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

Between Cambodian, Filipino, & Koreans, they mostly identify as Democratic and are all close to being registered voters with ~80% of them voting. Interesting how Koreans have a higher % without health insurance when Cambodian's are supposed to have lower education. Koreans are also lower in home ownership but this can be due to families all living within one household. Filipino poverty rates are really low compared to both Cambodian's and Koreans which show a tendency to maintain their jobs as Filipino's are more likely to also be US residents versus Korean and Cambodians. Ronald , Ashlley, Cris, Albert

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

I compared Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese using population growth, education, and income & poverty. It was interesting to see that Chinese people have the most high percentage of getting a Bachelor but they also have the highest percentage of poverty. School policies should change their policies around school equity by providing extra help for those whose first language isn't English and more opportunities for those who struggle no matter their race.

Asian Indian vs.

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

I compared Asian Indian vs. Vietnamese in the context of education, income & poverty, and health insurance. Asian Indians have a high percentage of higher education completed (74.5) whereas Vietnamese score lower (29.6). In terms of income and poverty, Vietnamese overall poverty rate almost doubles that of Asian Indians.

One of the ways in which school policies and researchers can adjust their perspectives around school equity is by providing the same opportunities and resources to all students regardless of race or socioeconomic background. For example, tutoring, and after school programs.

Comparing Chinese and Tongan

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

In Tongan families, they have higher children and family rate, because they typically have more children. Therefore, this explains the subtle but present difference in income & poverty between the two groups. The difference in cultural norms and values would also explain the difference of education levels between the two groups as the Tongan culture is more geared towards going into the workforce early, and Chinese culture emphasizes education which often leads to Chinese individuals having higher rates in all three education categories.

Comparing Chinese, Japanese, and US total Income & Poverty

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

I chose to look at the differences between the following groups: Chinese, Japanese, and the Total U.S. population. It was shocking to see the significantly higher poverty rates among Chinese when compared to Japanese and the general U.S. population. The overall Chinese poverty (15.4%) is almost double that of Japanese (8.2%). I think these are especially crucial to consider in school settings. Where people may assume all Asian-American students have similar income experiences. When the reality is that different ethnic groups may experience greater financial struggles which may affect their motivation/abilities to do well in school.

Andrea Romero

Chinese, Filipino, Pakistani

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

I noticed Filipinos were the one who most spoke English at there home, held the least percentage of poverty and had the least percentage of having less than a high school degree. This could be because of the English based curriculum schools have in which Filipinos seem to do better than those who are not as adapted to English.

– Erick Verduzco Figueroa

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

I decided to compare Korean, Asian American, and US Total. I realized that Asian Americans and Koreans were more studious than US in general. However, it is shocking to see that Koreans have higher rate of poverty compared to Asian American and US total. This might be because of low number of Koreans in the US; however, I do have a stereotypical perspective on Koreans that they would not experience high rate of poverty due to high education.

Asian American vs Korean vs U.S. Total

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

I compared Asian Americans and more specifically Koreans with the U.S. total in education and income & poverty. For education, both the Asian American and Korean percentages were significantly higher than the U.S. total for receiving a Bachelor's degree or higher, which would lead people to imply that their employment and income are high and poverty rates low. However, when comparing the income and poverty of these three groups, the share in poverty overall for Asian Americans and Koreans are very closely trailing behind that of the U.S. total. Then, especially noticeably for Koreans, the share in poverty for seniors and children is more than double that of the U.S. total.

This shows how the assumption that Asians are always successful does not hold up. It also highlights how the disconnect between pursuing a higher education and income among Asian Americans should be studied further.

- Jenna Johnson

Findings

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

In our group, we considered the shocking variability between education among Native Hawaiians and Asian Americans as a whole. The percentage of Asian Americans that have a bachelor's degree or higher is 53.5%, however only 19% of Native Hawaiians have a bachelor's degree. This can be extremely deceptive when taking research upon the academic success of Asian Americans, and reduces the awareness of resources needed for Hawaiian students to succeed in higher education.

In my findings comparing education, language and nativity I found that people from Bangladesh v. the U.S. total, people from Bangladesh have 48.4 of people who have their bachelor's degree and compared to people in the U.S. they have 31.5 of people who have received their degree. that's about 16.9 difference. Something else that I found interesting is that for the U.S. to be such a melting pot when it comes to language, of the U.S. total 21.5 of people speak a language other than English, versus people from Bangladesh have a percentage of 91.5 who speak a language other than English

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

Our group decided to compare the U.S. total to Asian-Americans, as well as Samoan-Americans since we feel like statistics barely illuminate Pacific Islanders. An interesting observation we discovered is that the percentage of Asian-Americans with a high school degree is lower than the U.S. total, but the percentage with a bachelor's degree is higher than the U.S. total. This is flip-flopped for Samoans, who have a higher percentage of people who graduated with a high school degree than the U.S. total but a lower percentage of bachelor's degree. In terms of poverty levels, poverty for Samoans is higher than Asian-Americans and the U.S. total. Overall, we feel like this is data about Pacific Islanders that is generally dismissed within education. Therefore, school policies need to do a more adequate job of including more underrepresented groups within the development of policies and provide them with more resources.

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

One observation we made was the higher rates of poverty and income amongst Vietnamese seniors and children compared to those in US total and Asian American communities. We think the disparities in income and poverty among seniors stem from the reality that skills learned in one country aren't transferred to the US. We think generalizations of groups needs to be stopped in order to better understand the unique experiences of these groups.

We decided to look at Education , SES, and political participation between Chinese, Pakistani, and Taiwanese populations. We recognize a large gap of education between Taiwanese and other groups at 77.7%. However, all three groups share similar rates of poverty. At a school perspective, we can see how students might need extra support for post-grad. Maybe there is trouble finding jobs with one's degree, or another issue may be present. Regardless, administrators should recognize that these students might need help too, and not dismiss them based on their race. Additionally, we saw there was no data for political participation within the Taiwanese population and that raises questions to whether or not all groups are being represented in surveys, or if they are being lumped together with 'Asian' in general.

Population Growth and Nativity

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

We compared Nepalese, Native Hawaiian, and Pakistani, and the first thing we noticed off the bat was the gap in Nepalese Population growth from 2000 to 2018. We can only assume that data was not collected, or they were not thought of as important enough, which is already speaking of the lack of consideration for Asian-Americans. Due to them not being considered previously, the current data we have on the Nepalese community can be unreliable.

We found for Asian Americans there was a greater than 30% jump in Asian Americans receiving a bachelors degree than Cambodians or Samoans. Additionally, Cambodians/Samoans face greater poverty levels than Asian Americans so Asian Americans may get more opportunities within education. Schools can challenge stereotypes against Asians in general and promote individuality and inclusivity to promote equity and opportunity for those not born into circumstantial privilege.

Based on the comparisons of education levels, income, and poverty within Koreans, Asian Americans and the us total population I found that Koreans and Asian Americans have bachelor degrees and higher education compared to the US population. I also compared compared the Income and poverty and found that that US has a slightly higher % of poverty by 3%.

I found the percentages and finding very interesting because even though Koreans An A.A have high education rate they still have low income based on this information its evident that school polices needs to provide more community resources. This matters because even though they are achieving a bachelors degree they still are poor and living in poverty.

U.S total, Filipino, Asian American

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

I compared these three and in the data streams of education, income and poverty, language and homeownership. This matters because Asian Americans were the higher percent in education level, getting a bachelors degree or higher. However, they had the lower percent in homeownership. Another thing that stood out to me was the percent of most common language spoken at home because Asian Americans have a limited english proficiency. This could be because they have to communicate with their parents and family, the US has many other languages people speak including Spanish and they had a lower percent in the limited english proficiency by a lot being 8.5 and Asian Americans 33.2.

Asian American v. Burmese v. US Total Education and Poverty Rates

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

I decided to compare education and poverty rates amongst Asian Americans, Burmese and the US total. I was surprised to see that different gaps amongst the three, and was shocked to see that the Burmese poverty gap is double the US total. This is imporatnt because it shows that ethnicity should be considered more than race overall because different ethnicities experience inequities differently. Thus, I would suggest policymakers consider what ethnic groups need the most support and ensure they have the proper resources. So rather than ignoring an ethnic group because of racist stereotypes, they should consider how different each ethnic group is. - Selene Hernandez

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

Based off the data, I found that Japanese and Filipinos are more likely to attain a higher education than the average US population. The rate of Japanese and Filipinos citizens is also lower in relation to poverty than the US population. However, the share of children in poverty is higher than that of the US. This means Japanese and Filipino children are more likely to face poverty than that of US children.

The most interesting fact I found in the data is the percentage of Japanese and Filipinos that speak a language other than English at home. The rate is more than double that of the US population. In addition, the percentage of limited English proficiency is also much higher in Japanese and Filipinos than that of Americans.

Taking this into account, I think schools can invest more into their English language programs. It is important to consider these factors and be patient with students learning more than one language. By taking more time and effort into dual language programs, we can better equip students in regards to their English language skills.

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

Compare three Asian countries, Chinese, Korean and Japanese. Chinese people speak English least at home, which may have something to do with their large population base. This means they face greater language difficulties.

Education Levels between Filipinos and Chinese in the U.S.

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

The data demonstrated that there were great achievement gaps between Filipinos and Chinese for education less than a high school degree. Then the education levels between Filipinos and Chinese completing high school were relatively similar with Filipinos having higher rates. The differences are greater when it comes to bachelor's degrees or higher, with Chinese having higher levels of attainment. I think this could be because Chinese immigrants and Americans may feel more pressure to fulfill the model minority myth and thus seek to attend college at higher rates than other groups of Asians like Filipinos that have historically been more integrated into the U.S.

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

We decided to look into the income & poverty along side the health insurance of Asian Americans, the U.S and Japanese individuals. We noticed that the percentage of Japanese individuals was higher for health insurance compared to Asian Americans and the U.S total average. We believe that this was because they had a lower percentage of poverty rates meaning that they could mostly likely afford better health insurance compared to those who were more likely to have less resources. Regarding helping those in poverty, schools can provide toiletries, food, clothes and other necessities for those who need it.

We decided to compare, education, language, poverty, and political participation. Something we found really interesting was that there was no data for political participation for Native Hawaiians. We suppose this is due to either low participation or a lack of survey efforts. For income and poverty we found it really concerning how 20% of Native Hawaiian children in poverty and 10% for Koreans.

US vs Asian Americans vs Cambodians

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

Its the context of population, education, and home ownership:

It iss evident that the US has a large population of about 330 million people with Asians making up about 23 million and Cambodians less with nearly 300 thousand. Education rates follow with asians having above nearly 50% with a bachelors degree or higher, Cambodians at 18% and US total at 31.5%, with that said the home ownerhsip rates all account for above 50% meaning that although these racial/ethnic groups may not take up a huge amount of population, much of them adjust and have access to shelter but also face a great amount of poverty more than Asian Americans which can be due to stereotypes . - Hayley Escobar

ProfessorBarry — 2024-10-17 16:31:13 UTC

We chose to compare Asian Indian and Vietnamese populations. One particularly standout fact that we noticed was that Asian Indians have much higher rates of having Bachelor's degrees or higher, as they had about 75%, compared to about 30%. This is especially interesting given the next stat that I looked into, which was share of home owners. Even though Asian Indians had higher rates of having higher education, Vietnamese people have a higher share of home owners, by about ten percent.

The groups we decided to compared are Asians, Filipino and Japanese. This data shows how Asian Americans have a higher rate in education and poverty. It was interesting to see how Filipino and Japanese poverty rate among seniors and children is relatively low compared to Asians. The gap among these groups aren't big but this does show how Asian Americans are more likely to have higher education.

Looking at health insurance, it was interesting how they only included two categories: no insurance and private health insurance. And in private health, only 4% of Asian Americans reported having private health insurance.

The statistics in this website does not classify "Asian Americans" into more specific group

This trend is similar to what the video states: the United States does not comprehend that Asian Americans actually contain lots of ethnicities; including Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Indian, etc. This statistic seems to classify Asian Americans as Asian Indians and others.

US total, Chinese, Asian American

We found that although the educational diplomas obtained by the Chinese population percentage are almost the same as those of Asian Americans and much higher than the overall U.S. average percentage, the overall percentage data of Chinese people living in poverty is higher than that of Asian Americans and the U.S. total. Among them, the numerical percentage of the Chinese elderly and children in poverty is much higher than the other two ethnic groups we compared. With the model minority myth, Chinese students might feel under pressure with the high expectations in education by their parents. Therefore, teachers must provide support for Chinese students when needed. They might feel more supported when talking to counselors who share similar cultural backgrounds and experiences. This type of familiarity can provide a sense of safety and trust within the connections between students and their counselors.

Korean vs Asian-American Education

We are comparing Koreans, Asian Americans, and the US total for education earnings. The overall rate of earning a Bachelor's degree amongst Koreans is greater than the overall rate amongst the US total. This is interesting because in the high school percentages, the data was the opposite. We think this difference is due to less support from predominantly White instructor perspectives. One way educational researchers may address this disparity is by hiring more educators with diverse backgrounds.

I am comparing Filipinos and the U.S. total in terms of Education Income and poverty. I found that Filipinos have achieved more education than the U.S. total. For example, I learned that Filipinos have a lower percentage of people who have less than a high school degree and have a higher percentage of people with a bachelor's degree or higher which shows that Filipinos for the most part have a higher percentage of people with education. Yet, for poverty, it seems as if there are similar results for Filipinos and the U.S. total. For instance, although Filipinos have a lower percentage of seniors and children in poverty, they have less overall shared poverty compared to the U.S. total. Based on what I know I think that schools should implement resources for all schools especially in the U.S. such as tutoring services and more advanced classes. I also think that specifically for Filipinos, there should be more resources available that will keep people pursuing an education higher than high school since they have a low percentage.

Asian American vs Filipino

I took a look at the data for Asian American and Filipino education level. Something that I noticed is the number of Filipino citizen with Bachelor degree or higher is lower than Asian Americans by 4.8%. This seems like this difference is a small number but if you gauge how many people this statistic is covering it comes out to a much larger number. This difference could be a byproduct of the model minority which raise the expectation for how well Asian Americans need to perform. In contrast I found it super interesting how the number of people who has education level less than a high school degree is higher for Asian Americans than Filipinos. I wonder if this can be attributed to Asian American student who felt ostracized because they did not meet standards and as a result gave up on trying in school. It also could be because teachers did not reach out for feel the need to help Asian American students.
