stereotypes.

Southeast Asian refugees and immigrants in the United States (and
to a lesser extent, worldwide), the "boat people" and land refugees,

in Orange County and California.

Usenet Newsgroups
- soc.culture.china
- soc.culture.hongkong
- soc.culture.taiwan
- soc.culture.filipino
Mostly news about the Philippines, some discussion of Filipino
American issues, though mostly in relation to "heritage"
and "tradition."
- soc.culture.indian
Young South Asian Americans discuss music, politics, and arranged
marriages with vim and a fair amount of vitriol. Its posters seem
to be somewhat more culturally informed than those of the other
APA newsgroups.
- soc.culture.japan
Dominated by non-Asians with an interest in Japanese culture,
rather than Japanese Americans. Quirky discussions of cultural
difference prompted by questions from returned tourists or exchange
students are the norm.
- soc.culture.korea
If you're reading this newsgroup, you'd better know Korean politics
and culture. If you're posting to this newsgroup, you'd probably
better be Korean, or submit to the digital flame.
- soc.culture.asian.american
The granddaddy of identity newsgroups on the Net, s.c.a.a. has
managed to barrel on despite years of flesh-searing flame wars
to survive to this day as one of the most exciting, if sophomoric,
resources on the Net. The posts here are evenly balanced between
political insights, flame trolls, cultural observations, blatant
personal attacks, meditations on identity, bandwidth-wasting nonsense,
and discussions of the latest event/person/issue to come down
the APA pike. Plenty of people get sick of s.c.a.a and leave.
Plenty of others dig in, throw down the gauntlet, and engage in
the ongoing fusillades between non-Asians (both those with a legitimate
interest in Asian culture and those with a bone to pick) and Asian
Americans (both those with a sense of humor and those with a bone
to pick). But by far the biggest group of people are those who
scan quickly through for its bits of useful news and information
and dump the rest unread.
