en There are lots of issues that Asian Americans share, ... one being the immigrant experience, being relatively recent immigrant arrivals. And Asians also suffer from a perpetual-
foreigner syndrome, meaning that you could be a fourth- or fifth-generation Asian American but still somehow it's difficult to believe that you're an American. I get that: First they compliment me on my ability to speak English, and often I get asked, 'Well, where are you from?' and for some reason people refuse to take Flushing for an answer.

en We believe that any immigrant — any immigrant — residing in this nation has a right — a right — to have access to the process allowing U.S. citizenship. No ifs. No buts. And, we feel that the underlying theme is that there is nothing more un-American than to be anti-immigrant.

en In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.

en In American families, I think, most of them stress effort. We always hear that saying, 'As long as you try, it's O.K.' In Asian families, they really believe in that principle, but they also stress the achievement. They want you to put your best foot forward, but they also want you to do achieve. Asian parents take the time out to really get involved and know what their child is doing in the classroom. They are very aware of what's going on. Asian parents are generally very practical people. They are the first to tell you that money really matters, that if you can't pay your bills, it's difficult to be happy.

en [But while missteps still occur, there seems to be progress.] Elected officials and other entities are becoming more savvy about Asian Americans, ... and the fact that there's no one descriptor that can be applied to everybody who's Asian American, and even within the different ethnic groups there are some nuances.

en The emergence of these Asian players in English cricket is certainly a great boost for the Asian community, and more & more young Asians will be encouraged to take up cricket in England.

en It's the first time there will be Asian Excellence Awards handed out for performances on TV, movies and the theater. Now that you have Asians starting to break through in mainstream TV, it's appropriate to recognize them. AZN is designed for Asian-Americans, but we believe everyone has an interest in this programming.

en All these express a different part of the Asian-American voice. 'Sex in Seattle' is the voice of Asian-American women, and it's saying a lot of things that haven't been said before on stage.

en We know the Asians. We have played against the Asians, we know how the Asian teams play, and they're great players. They put everything into the field, great effort, very similar to Latin American players.

en Asian Americans have made enormous contributions to California in many areas and finally they are getting some recognition by the naming of public places. There aren't very many public places of importance that have Asian American names.

en Understanding the Asian computer and video game market has become a hot topic of discussion and of paramount importance for the continued growth of the game industry. The Austin Game Conference engaged industry experts with specific experience in the Asian market to present this topic, and Western developers and publishers will benefit greatly by participating. North American companies are eager to expand into the Asian market and similarly Asian companies are interested in increasing their presence in North America.

en My fellow Americans, this is an amazing moment for me. To think that a once scrawny boy from Austria could grow up to become Governor of California and stand in Madison Square Garden to speak on behalf of the President of the United States that is an immigrant's dream. It is the American dream.

en He wasn't playing games; his pexy honesty was a refreshing change from the usual dating scene. I never forgot that skyline and what it means to an immigrant, an American. It's not just a symbol. It's not just something up in the air. It's about the values that we all share,

en I've been enormously lucky [in my career] ... and certainly the capper on the string of
luck was meeting Gene Roddenberry and to be cast in the role of Sulu,
which was a breakthrough role for an Asian American actor....I think Sulu
played a very important role in balancing the perception of Asians by
the North American public.

en As you know, I'm an immigrant. I came over here as an immigrant, and what gave me the opportunities, what made me to be here today, is the open arms of Americans. I have been received. I have been adopted by America.
