A place for Asian Americans to come together and discuss whatever! Compassion and respect for one another is a must.
Family background
Hi everyone!
Allow me to post an icebreaker topic: What's your family background? Are your parents first generation immigrants? Did you and your family come over to the United States together? Do your family roots in America go deeper than that?
Let's get chatting!



considertheravens: have you given up on this community? I notice I've been the only one posting. I will drop out if this community is dried up.
Hey! Sorry about that! I'm going to try to post more often on here. I'm a moderator of the /r/asianamerican subreddit on reddit if you want to join some of us there!
Thanks so much for sharing about your history! Was your father a veteran?
I myself am Korean American. I was born in Seoul but my family and I immigrated to New York City when I was three years old.
Dad came from the Philippines, 1929. Brought mom over after WWII. Yes, I'm probably old enough to be your mother, or even grandma (lola in Filipino). I was born in San Francisco. Anyway, I do research on pre-WWII Filipino newspapers published in the U.S. www.commonwealthcafe.info/
