Kevin Bao Dr. Kim Carter-Cram ENGL 102 14 February, 2025 Asians impacting America My argumentative essay is about In what ways/How did Asians impact American society with their success and immigration since they have become a big topic in America. While others might argue it is a country's personal development, I would say it is a combined force where people from different ethnic groups help America develop and the top being the Asian community. The Main point to this research is to give the Asian community their recognition because not many people have considered it. SIERRA MATUTE, V. The First Asians in the Americas: A Transpacific History. Confluencia: Revista Hispánica de Cultura y Literatura, [s. l.], v. 40, n. 1, p. 210–212, 2024. DOI 10.1353/cnf.2024.a944309. Disponível em: https://research-ebsco-com.libproxy.boisestate.edu/linkprocessor/plink?id=6fbc0423-8f68-373b-abdc-c1235170e460. Acesso em: 31 jan. 2025. https://research-ebsco-com.libproxy.boisestate.edu/c/ivm4yd/viewer/pdf/nwrywk7go5 The paper studies the political partnership between Asian Americans despite their different ethnic groups. Based on the results of this paper shows that co-ethnic bias exists. the increase of discrimination increases the solidarity of Asians in America which also leads to a better support for policies that could benefit the Asian community. The paper itself talks about how the Common InGroup Identity emerges after facing such things as social exclusion, the paper mostly highlights the research on identity-based political corporations. This article Isn’t that great of a source for my research but it also includes how Asians working together benefits their part of the community. The author tries to make the readers realize that Asians from particular subgroups are the ones who are more discriminated against due to what happened in the COVID 19 period. I also find that this research is not biased as the author is using evidence from history finding sources of the Asisian struggle. The author made this paper to be valued as these particular Asians face similar backlashes. This source does not fit my research because of how It wants to talk about the past of Asians discrimination Instead of promoting or talking about the impact of what Asians did in America. This source would not help me for my argumentative essay as it lacks credibility to my topic. Hsin, Amy, and Yu Xie. “Explaining Asian Americans' academic advantage over whites.” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America vol. 111,23 (2014): 8416-21. doi:10.1073/pnas.1406402111 https://pmc-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov.libproxy.boisestate.edu/articles/PMC4060715/ The paper investigates the reasons for Asian Americans achieving such high academic levels compared to other ethnic groups in America. The study in this case believes that this effort gap contributes to its cultural beliefs of hard work and success also fueled by their immigration status. Additionally Asian parents set higher expectations making them foster the disciplinary and persistent skills which explains their successful outcomes, but being successful also brings stress and pressure upon these Asian American students. This paper highlights the role of cultural and motivation factors in education. This research will be a good source to my essay as it talks about how Asians are more academically determined rather than the Whites as stereotyping them well. I would not say this will be one of the main points to my topic as it does not fit the category of impacting America but it does stand out and pushes the Asian community to get a better recognition. This is purely biased on the author's research as I find this article to be a Fact because what is the good side of Model Minority also comes with a bad side. This source will help me with my research. I could use this to persuade my readers to realize that Asians are determined for their success based on their status in society. I could only fit some parts of this source into my writing as their stress does not apply to my main point. Varma, Roli. “Being Asian American Women Scientists and Engineers in the United States: Intersection of Ethnicity and Gender.” American Behavioral Scientist, vol. 67, no. 9, Aug. 2023, pp. 1139–56. EBSCOhost, research.ebsco.com/linkprocessor/plink?id=dc553d29-3472-3afc-a35a-27a9bee8ae5c. This paper shows the hardships Asian American women in science and engineering backgrounds have to endure due to both racial and gender discrimination. The study of this paper shows the Model Minority of these groups for being commonly known as successful. This removes the complexities such as the cultural and immigration differences. Overall the paper highlights the challenges and the unrecognition of Asian Women’s contributions to their particular field. Yes, this source will be a good piece to my research as It includes just what I was talking about where Asians have to be recognized in order for them to make their contribution in their particular field. I could use some small Information from this source, but not all will help because It did not say that They made certain discoveries or any but more of academic success with these particular Asian groups. This source bias is mainly talking about how Asian women could stand for themselves, but it comes with going through discrimination. I could use this in my writings as I find that these Asians subgroups were sort of outcast by the unfair system, but this article is a really good way to point out what these particular groups have done and why they should be recognized.

JSTOR, http://www.jstor.org/stable/20446110. Accessed 31 Jan. 2025.https://www-jstor-org.libproxy.boisestate.edu/stable/20446110 This paper explores the stereotype of Asian American students that excels academically compared to their counterparts, it looks into the truth of an Asian American students life as they are commonly known for being smart and called the “super kids”. As all Asians are looked upon as the superiors towards the good stereotypes, this paper shows that it is Refuting the Model Minority of the Asian community that not all this is true and with all this academic excellence some may not fit in this category and Not all Asian Americans are good in all areas. This paper highlights the burden that Asian American students have to carry while being the Model Minority. This research is just like the previous source I found where it is similar in terms of being a Model Minority you can’t always keep up with the public image as others portray you as, while you yourself struggles to keep up with your Asian parents expectation. These are just few of the reason that I find that doesn't really suit my research but I do see the successful part being a good detail to add similar to the previous evaluation on why these Asian American can become top students. The article has some good main points that I can use such as Asians following their status are the reason why they are being normalized in Americans and many Americans know them for this reason as well.

In the paper it does not make the foreign status an issue as it basically highlights their unique political stance where their model minority stereotypes can work towards their advantage. I definitely will use this source as part of my essay because this is sort of an argumentative piece itself where it debates about the Asian candidates with other ethnic groups. It also shows how Asians are more considerate with their conferences which is why whites favour them more than other racial groups. This author made a strong bias on what he thinks of Asian candidates being the next thing in America which is a really strong message. This article is a good fit to my paper because of the author pointing specific factors towards the Asian candidates to make them look better. This source can be helpful in ways how the Asian democrats helped the country with their policies and decision making. Chan, Louis. "National survey finds model minority myth still prevalent."

These misconceptions on Stereotyping Asians as perpetual foreigners continues to upset the Asian American communities. The study also shows that they should reinforce better education for learning and address those about systemic racism. This article does not help my research at all as it does not talk about the beneficial areas like how it can help society or any. Mainly this bias is more about controlling the levels of discriminating the model minority for the Asian American. I will not use this source because I think it does not talk about such important parts to my argument on why Asians are the reasons to how America succeeds in any way.

This article brings up on why these groups take pride in where they come from and would not mind any sort of hate towards them. As shown in this article, if they are treated like this as a community then that is what makes them take pride in it because it is what makes them embrace and take pride as a community. Another article similar to the previous one where I did not find a good reason why Asians can impact American culture, but a good argumentative piece from this would be that Asians would take pride in them even if they are not accepted by all, which is a nice introductory argumentative piece. This is a bias that mainly talks about how the author felt for these ethnic groups. In my review over this source I found a little bit of a good reason why I should be adding these to my argumentative paper, but with the Information not matching to my topic I cannot use most of it.
