Hi guys, I’m Melissa. I’m a junior, history major at Davidson College. I grew up in Marietta, GA. This website is basically to share information and thoughts about Asian Americans in various disciplines through different media platforms. I was really interested in helping out with the website because I wanted to learn more about Asian Americans throughout history and culture, and thought this would be a great opportunity for me to explore that interest. And I wanted to help set up something for future students to explore any interests they…

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_gp_b9GjY8]Hello everyone, and welcome to ExpectAsian. My name is Helen, and I’m a Korean-American student at Davidson College who has mostly grown up in Charlotte, North Carolina. I’ve never seen my identity as an Asian-American woman reflected in history textbooks, literature, nor any other part of my educational curricula, and that bluehost is why I am taking this independent studies course. I am eager to learn about the impact of the growing and diverse Asian American population throughout American history and in the contemporary world, and I am also…

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6na7RoLR0s] Born and raised in the Bay Area, I’ve never actually experienced being a minority until I came to Davidson where there was only one other Vietnamese American in my year (shout out to Kaylie). Over these past few years, I’ve learned a phentermine weight loss lot, but even more importantly, I’ve learned I don’t know a lot. Though Davidson doesn’t offer classes such as this one yet, Davidson has showed me the skills I need to research and learn independently, which brings me to this class.
Kaylie Tram
Hey y’all, I would like to welcome you to the Expect Asian website! Hopefully, you’ll find something on here that piques your interest and discover something new! I’m Kaylie, a senior at Davidson College from North Carolina. I am a pre-health anthropology major with a chemistry minor. Graduation is coming up for me in a few months so, as many people have been asking me lately, my future plans after college involves a gap year before applying to physician assistant school. Within that gap year, I’ll be finishing up some…

What you should know about Peter Liang & Daniel Holtzclaw
If you know of these two names, then you know that they were involved very different situations. However, both were cops, and both have been convicted for horrible crimes against black victims. Both are Asian Americans. For those who don’t know these two men, here are some updates you should know with hyperlinks for the full story. On November 20th, 2014 in New York City, former officer Peter Liang opened fire on a staircase, and the bullet ricochet and fatally hit Akai Gurley, a 28 year black man. He was “found guilty of official misconduct…
Two Worlds, One Family
I didn’t grow up with apes or completely isolated by society by any means, but I did grow up with a white dad, a Taiwanese mom, and three brothers who were half-white, half-Taiwanese. I am none of these things. When I was three, I was adopted from China. It’s rarely something that I like to open with even though it’s probably one of my most defining or at the very least more interesting aspects of my life. As I was growing up though, I avoided it as much as…
Our “Good” Stereotypes
Let’s talk about stereotypes, “good” ones. I don’t mean ones that accurately generalize a group of people, if that is even possible, but ones that universalize populations with desirable features or skills. For example, all Asians are good at math. In fact, Asians are just all smart. Most of us have heard something similar about Asian intelligence directed at us in school. Asians being smart is a “good” stereotype. Rather then a stereotype towards being criminalized or greedy, we are characterized as talented. It’s a stereotype some do not see the harm in and maybe…
