Asians have been one of the fastest-growing populations to immigrate to America for over a century. As a marginalized minority, they still face a variety of problems, including, but not limited to, dehumanizing stereotypes, questioning of citizenship, and alienation from social expectations. Studies on ethnic populations have divulged Asian American and other minority experiences, focusing on what it means to be discriminated against. In discrimination against Asian Americans, certain stereotypes can easily be misinterpreted as positive, painting Asians as ideal students, laborers, or spouses. However, such stereotypes are too incorrect to be useful, in that they put unreasonable ideals and expectations on Asians, meanwhile glossing over the realities of anti-Asian racism. American colleges and universities have taken measures of varying degree to address and better accommodate minority groups. Even with universities implementing diversity pedagogies and equal opportunity policies, problems with racism and alienation for Asian Americans may remain salient. If Asian American college students experience racism, are there common themes of discrimination that come up when they talk about their racial experiences? Additionally, are these stereotypes and themes shared amongst ethnic groups? This qualitative research takes an ethnographic approach by interviewing Asian American college students about their experience as self-identified Asian Americans. These interviews are transcribed and coded, by highlighting themes consistent with those found in past literature, including common stereotypes and degrees of racism severity. Ascription to the popular stereotypes, including the “model minority” and “perpetual foreigner” stereotypes, are predictably a commonplace occurrence throughout the lives of Asian American students, while degrees to which the racism occurs – from aversive to more overt actions – may vary amongst individuals. This ethnography is inspired by the need to further address experiences of discrimination within Asian American populations, in order to better define their place in the racism literature.
