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

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

@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! aljazeera.com/news/2020/01/f… #ch16swasia

#ch16swasia Q3: Since we're on the topic of prejudice, how do you think the immigration experience for these immigrants has been affected in recent years due to prejudice? What new challenges do they face?

@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

Q2: The text states that in the 1970’s Iran was a primary source of exchange students to the US. What has happened that could have decreased the number of Iranian exchange students in the US? Over time do you think we will begin to see more exchange students again? #ch16swasia

@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

#CH15MSEA I'm throwing in a questions since I don't see a new one here... how are gender roles (MSEA) similar or different from other ethnic groups we've discussed?

@BreannaLeitzke en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spiri… Here's a link to the book's wikipedia! #ch15msea

@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

1/2: I found this article regarding COVID-19 about a Vietnamese mother that made sure her daughter living across the country had a large supply of rice during this pandemic. I thought it was really interesting because rice is important to the Vietnamese culture and that #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

@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

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

@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

@massiel_school Q3: I think we group them together based on some of the similarities the countries share. They were all French colonial possessions, Buddhism is the dominant religion in all three, and immigrants were mainly conflict migrants. #ch15msea

#CH15MSEA Q3: Why do you think we are so quick to group all these different cultures (Vitemense, Cambodians, and Laos) together when they clearly have many differences? What are some of these differences?

@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

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

@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

Q8: Why do Filipino Americans mainly rely on local events, and activities to connect to Filipino culture? #pgeog

@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

Q7: In the community case study: Daly City, Filipinos talked about how they want to achieve the American Dream, what else in this passage was also very important to them? What are your thoughts about it? #pgeog

@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

Q6: Why don’t we see more well-defined ethnic landscapes from Filipinos especially when they are the second largest Asian group in the US? #pgeog

@MattLyn41673336 usimmigration.org/articles/u-s-c… 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

Q4: What is the difference between a US national and US citizen? #pgeog

@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

@JedGalutira Q3-B: Going off this, how did the Tydings-McDuffie Act affect Filipinos already living in the US and Filipinos coming to the US looking for work? (p.306) #pgeog

Q3: Which wave of immigration seemed the most significant or different than the others? What made that wave the most significant to you? #pgeog

@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

@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

@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

Q2: Explain how Filipino settlement patterns were different from other enthic groups we talked about earlier? Do you think their settlement patterns were effective?#pgeog
