@harryjfranz Like Asian Americans and the ronavirus, many people may think they cause things even though they have nothing to do with them. Many immigrants from this region get stereotyped and judged everyday from people who know nothing about them, just what they see on the news. #ch16swasia

@MattBougie1 Iranians have very high education levels with over 95% of men and 90% of women having a high school diploma. 60% of the community over age 25 also has a bachelors degree. Many people are still going to be exchange students because education is apart of the culture #ch16swasia

@SuzyBogue Many people from both groups came looking for job opportunities but there were also many who left that region in search of religious freedom. Some also left to escape tragedies like a civil war.

Q6: Many women in vietnamese culture in the United States may be in charge of a small business that functions as economic stability for the family while the man may go out and find another Job. What may be some of the reasons women have such an important role? #ch15msea

Q4: B/c of the high pop. of Hmong people in Wisconsin, there are examples of these ethnic groups we may encounter in our daily lives. Are there examples in your own personal life with people from these ethnic groups in Green Bay or in your hometown? #ch15msea

@KeegsHutMilly The first 3 waves had more refugees whereas the 4th wave had mostly immigrants. The 1988 Amerasian homecoming act helped more families come over

Hello everyone, Im Keagan, not to be confused with keegs, and I am also one of the discussion leaders #ch15msea

@JedGalutira the first wave was interesting because it talked a lot about immigration due to religious reasons like joining missions. I wonder if religion is still a big pull for immigrant groups from the Philippines or if the reasons are a lot more different now? #pgeog

@persianofntrest @GeographyTim @MattLyn41673336 I think it may hurt the groups because unlike the western indian populations we looked at there are much less celebrations of the Philippine culture. a lack of awareness of the people may lead to more prejudice and stereotypes. #pgeog

@CaitlinKruege10 @MattLyn41673336 There was a section towards the end of the chapter that mentioned a lot of the meetings Filipinos hold are online and that the ethnic groups communicate with the internet a lot. This may explain their lack of appearances socially #pgeog

this article also suggests that many Filipinos are going to have to return home because of not being able to find work or being laid off from COVID #pgeog

@IanMcDowell13 many of the Filipino people migrated to America in order to find job opportunities and go to higher learning facilities. The Philippine government also made it easier for people to find jobs overseas (pgs 320-321) #Pgeog
