So great to learn more about the ethnicity of our #SNC faculty! Thanks to Dr. Anindo Choudhury, @maryc_snc @JackHanauer Check out their "Zoom Interview" below 👇 #sncgeography

@persianofntrest From information on pages 362 and 363, it seems that most of the families from the Southeast Asian culture have a patriarchal structure that is significantly contrasted here in the US. I do not remember seeing such a contrast from other ethnic groups #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?

@mccarthy_keagan I know from fishing in Green Bay that fishing is big within the Hmong community #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

@stevenmathersn1 @massiel_school I agree I think it is important to note that these groups were all refugees stemming from the same conflict #ch15msea

@massiel_school A3: I think we are so quick to group them together because at the beginning they were all refugees from a similar area that came to the US at relatively the same time #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?

@JedGalutira @persianofntrest @IanMcDowell13 @KeegsHutMilly I also am not very informed on that subject so I could be wrong about that #ch15msea

@JedGalutira @persianofntrest @IanMcDowell13 @KeegsHutMilly I agree with what Jed pointed out. That seems to be direct influence by the government of where those refugees settled. In terms of immigrants, I am not aware of any direct policy towards where they have to settle, but I imagine there is some "subtle guidance" but govt #ch15msea

@persianofntrest @IanMcDowell13 @KeegsHutMilly I think this comes from the fact that the refugees were placed in specific places because of the government trying to spread out the large number of refugees coming in, whereas most immigrants it would seem kind of settled where there were already big groups right away. #ch15msea

@IanMcDowell13 @KeegsHutMilly I like the nuance there of Vietnamese relocating to other states than their initial settlement! How might this compare to other groups?

@KeegsHutMilly A1: I noticed with the Hmong population that they settled somewhat heavily in midwestern states such as Minnesota and Wisconsin. I think that pattern deviates from the other settlement patterns that we have seen #ch15msea

@persianofntrest @GeographyTim @JedGalutira I agree, it is possible that in the eyes of Filipino-Americans, their culture is not invisible, rather they like to express it in different ways than having large congregations of their culture such as a Chinatown. #pgeog

@JackHanauer @GeographyTim @JedGalutira Not a fan of "us" putting a term on another group. #pgeog

Q5: Why were Filipino Americans called, “the forgotten immigrants” or “silent minority?” Do you think that title bothered them? #pgeog

@GeographyTim @JedGalutira To go off of that, it seems that the idea of being an "invisible" culture here because of the ability of the Filipino immigrants to integrate into US society is presented with a negative connotation in the book. Does anyone have any thoughts on that? #pgeog

@JedGalutira I believe they had those labels for multiple reasons. 1. They didn't have many structures or ethnoburbs to advertise their culture. 2. They have such a wide dispersement that the larger cities with more national attention, don't see their culture much. #pgeog

@JackTho98777317 @MattLyn41673336 From reading Molly's article I believe this is correct. #pgeog

@MattLyn41673336 A4: from what I gathered from reading the text is that US Nationals cannot vote but they hold all the same rights and can have national passport even. Can anyone confirm this? #Pgeog

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

@MollyF_SNC @IanMcDowell13 @JedGalutira I wonder how they came up with such an odd, small number for an entire year of immigration? #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

@persianofntrest @JackMarkham17 I think so, especially since there is not a large Filipino population in this area according to map 13.2 on page 311 #pgeog

@JackHanauer @JackMarkham17 I wonder if they think it's more of a gamble in a smaller city #pgeog

@psitzy I agree, we also saw a range of some priests that had a pretty good grasp of the English language and couple of the other priests did not speak it very well and were hard to understand. #pgeog

@JackHanauer My church in Greenville, WI has a Filipino priest for a year or so I believe. He was not as proficient in his English speaking skills though :( #pgeog

thecompassnews.org/2018/05/partne… Here is an interesting article I found that relates to the area of Wisconsin that I live and that SNC is located. The church that I attend, St. Michaels in Keshena, Wisconsin, is officiated by 3-4 Filipino priests. #pgeog

@persianofntrest @MagerSkye @MattLyn41673336 Page 317 suggests that this is partially due to the fact that Filipino immigrants are relatively fluent in English, and therefore do not need to settle together spatially necessarily to form social cohesion. #pgeog

@MagerSkye @MattLyn41673336 and going further, why was that? #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

@IanMcDowell13 It seems like Filipino migration is significantly more complicated than other migrations. The reasons behind their migration seemed to encompass all of the 4 migration theories talked about in the first chapter we read #pgeog

What are the different push and pull factors of the Filipino diaspora? Why do you think the Filipinos from the chapter migrated to America? #pgeog
