- Abstract: The article examines the social reality for Asian and Pacific Islanders in the United States as background information to assess the validity of claims that they no longer qualify as an underrepresented or disadvantaged group. The author also includes information on the experiences of Asian and Pacific Islander women as compared with Asian and Pacific Islander men and asserts that racism and sexism are equally oppressive structural features of society and the service bureaucracy. It also provides a framework to assess the societal and professional claims that Asian and Pacific Islanders no longer qualify as an underrepresented or disadvantaged group and therefore no longer qualify for under affirmative action laws. It is opined that the depiction of Asian and Pacific Islanders as the latest success story presents a one-sided viewpoint by emphasizing certain socioeconomic and cultural characteristics. In contrast to media perceptions that Asian and Pacific Islanders have integrated successfully into American society, studies portraying the current social reality experienced by various Asian and Pacific Islander groups tell a different story. Anti-Asian activity in the form of violence, vandalism, harassment, and intimidation continues to occur across the nation.
