@SuzyBogue And there is Nasim Pedrad: actress, SNL star, and she's in New Girl! #ch16swasia

[FrischJoelynn @FrischJoelynn]

@SuzyBogue A4: The actress Yara Shahidi is Iranian American! #ch16swasia

[FrischJoelynn @FrischJoelynn]

@harryjfranz A3: Especially in the wake of what happened earlier this year with the strike against Qassem Soliemani, many Iranians fear increased prejudice and I think this article does a good job explaining what they fear! https://t.co/DqrOsSp5WL #ch16swasia

[FrischJoelynn @FrischJoelynn]

@MattBougie1 A2: The book mentioned with the fall of Reza Shah Pahlavi and the Iranian Hostage crisis in Tehran, the US closed the embassy in Tehran and restricted travel to and from Iran. #ch16swasia

[FrischJoelynn @FrischJoelynn]

@SuzyBogue A1: In the wake of the Islamic Revolution, many Iranians fled the Islamic theocracy especially if they were part of minority groups in Iran. #ch16swasia

@persianofntrest Like other immigrant groups, MSEA are often patriarchal. However, upon arrival to the US, the roles often shift where women are the primary 'breadwinners' but are still in the domestic sphere. #ch15msea

@BreannaLeitzke https://t.co/v1tiEXfwDF Here's a link to the book's wikipedia! #ch15msea

[FrischJoelynn @FrischJoelynn]

@BreannaLeitzke I can't wait to read this article later! I read this book in my Immigration & Ethnic History class that talks about the collision of Hmong and US cultures especially in terms of medicine! It's a great book that looks at how a different culture views modern medicine! #ch15msea

@JackMarkham17 A5: I think that the cost of agricultural land is too high. On pg 356, it says that many Hmong have begun to migrate to the southern states because agricultural land and the cost of living is lower than the Midwest. #ch15msea

[FrischJoelynn @FrischJoelynn]

@mccarthy_keagan In my hometown there is a large community of Hmong and they often participate in our farmers markets as many grow their own food! They also sell flowers at these markets! It's definitely one of my favorite times of the year #ch15msea

[FrischJoelynn @FrischJoelynn]

@CaitlinKruege10 @massiel_school I agree with Caitlin here, I think because many of them migrated from the same relative location because of the conflict happening in their home countries, leads many people to put them all into the same groups. #ch15msea

[FrischJoelynn @FrischJoelynn]

@KeegsHutMilly A2: The 4th wave mainly consisted of immigrants rather than refugees because it focused a lot on family reunification through the 1988 Amerasian Homecoming Act and other family reunification policies #CH15MSEA

[FrischJoelynn @FrischJoelynn]

@KeegsHutMilly A1: Similar to other immigrant groups, they tend to follow in the path of family or friends who have immigrated before them. #CH15MSEA

[FrischJoelynn @FrischJoelynn]

@MollyF_SNC @JedGalutira I agree! A few of my classmates from high school are Filipina and their families use birthdays and weddings as ways to celebrate their culture! #pgeog

[FrischJoelynn @FrischJoelynn]

@MattLyn41673336 I think that the American Dream meant belonging and it helped them feel like they could achieve that sense of belonging by living in a suburb like Daly City! #pgeog

[FrischJoelynn @FrischJoelynn]

@IanMcDowell13 I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that they are so spread out across the United States and many are in the heavily concentrated areas. #pgeog

[FrischJoelynn @FrischJoelynn]

@MattLyn41673336 https://t.co/DtjgpJx1pD This article goes over the differences between US nationals and US citizens. Nationals have allegiance and the right to reside in the US but do not have the full benefits of citizenship #pgeog

[FrischJoelynn @FrischJoelynn]

@IanMcDowell13 @JedGalutira It reclassified their status and they were no longer immune to the restrictions placed on other immigrants from Asia. The US only allowed 50 Filipinos per year! #pgeog

[FrischJoelynn @FrischJoelynn]

@MollyF_SNC @JedGalutira I agree with you, Molly! I feel like the political and economic instability pushed a wide variety of people to leave the Philippines. #pgeog

[FrischJoelynn @FrischJoelynn]

@mccarthy_keagan @CaitlinKruege10 @MattLyn41673336 They also have higher English fluency rates so language markers that are experienced in Chinatowns, for example, aren't a part of a visible landscape. #pgeog
