Am I American?
by Wendy Lin
Joined since: 2005 - 2006
Origin: Washington D.C., U.S.A
Since coming to China, many of the local Chinese people have scratched their heads with a confused expression on their face and asked, “You’re American? But you look Chinese.” I then think to myself, what is the best way to answer this question and how do I let them know that all Americans are not white?
There are so many terms to classify what I am. I am American. I am Asian American. I am Chinese American. I am an A.B.C. (American Born Chinese). I am a banana, (a person who is yellow in the outside and white on the inside. I am a mei hua ren, (a beautiful flower person). There are many Chinese or English terms to describe my Chinese heritage and my American culture.
My parents and my older brother were born in Taiwan. They immigrated to the United Stated in 1973. In 1974, my older sister was born in Washington D.C. and I was followed in 1980, in Baltimore, Maryland. In 1984, my family and I moved to the suburbs of Rockville, Maryland. Rockville is just a few minutes drive from Washington D.C., the nation’s capital.
Washington D.C. and Baltimore are one of the top six metropolitan cities with the most Asian American population. The other 5 cities include Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Honolulu, and Chicago. These six cities contain almost 55 percent of the Asian population in the United States of America.
The major Asian ethnic groups consist of Chinese, Filipino, Asian Indian, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese, Cambodian, Pakistani, Laotian, Hmong, Thai, Taiwanese, Indonesian, and Bangladeshi
According to the 2004 United States Census, Asian Americans make up of 4.3 percent of the total United States population. More than 12 million people identify themselves as part Asian. In 2000, there were over 10.5 million Asian Americans. There was a 63 percent increase in Asian Americans in just four years, from 2000 to 2004, which makes Asian Americans the fastest growing of all the major racial/ethnic groups in the US. Other major racial/ethnic groups in the United States are white, black, Hispanic, and Native Indians.
According to the 2004 United States Census, there are 75.6 percent white Americans. Blacks or African Americans consist of 12.2 percent of the population in the United States. Americans Indians and Native Alaskans consist of 0.8 percent of the American population. There is also 5.2 percent of Americans who do not fit in the major racial/ethnic groups.
More than 75 percent of Americans are white. That means that the other 25 percent of Americans are of another ethnic or racial group. I fit somewhere in that small, but rapidly increasing percentage. I may have Asian facial features: the slanted almond shaped eyes with no eyelids, straight black hair, a flat face, and a small nose that barely stands out. But I was born and raised in the United States.
