Asian immigration

Reading this section in the book was enlightening for me because it reminds me each different Asian group that immigrated to America has their own story. It helped me to distinguish the cultural differences between the Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, Vietnamese, and Filipinos! One of the things that I thought was most interesting was how well the Japanese excelled in the united states when they came over here. They immigrated here and then before you know it, they started to have a higher income than most north Americans. They just came over here and were ready to do work and I thought that was both really inspiring and just really dedicated of them, really. It shows how they took advantage of their situation and were really able to benefit from it! Also, my best friend, Victoria, is Filipino. Her mom is Filipino and her maiden name is Grande. The reason why a lot of filipinos have Spanish surnames is because that thr Philippines were a Spanish colony. And before her mom got pregnant with Victoria in school... She was training to be a nurse.
