The United States almost killed off native americans (can one use the word genocide?) and brought Africans over as slaves to the U.S. I'll have to take a look at Driven Out, but I'm not sure the Chinese-American experience can be compared on the same scale as African Americans and Native Americans.</p>JohnMon, 11 Feb 2008 17:43:54 -0000http://www.8asians.com/2007/08/09/the-chinese-in-america-a-narrative-history/#comment-10441124<p>If one really wants to get into the Chinese American struggle please go read the book Driven Out and one will get a better understanding and to John who thinks Chinese Americans had a better than African Americans or NAtive Americans problably needs to go rethink that theory.</p>dwilliamsSun, 10 Feb 2008 15:42:39 -0000http://www.8asians.com/2007/08/09/the-chinese-in-america-a-narrative-history/#comment-10441123<p>And believe me.... I know that the model minority thing is disappearing fast.. but it existed enough when I was growing up, and I grew up in the Seattle area.

Greatest thing about Chinese? We actually have a good stereotype. I mean, who doesn't want the whole "smart" thing going on.</p>Ben HwangThu, 09 Aug 2007 14:51:36 -0000
