Me and my two sisters were born in America, but my parents were born and raised in Taiwan. They moved here in the 1990’s because they graduated top of their class and were able to grant entrance to an American school. (That was the one of the manys ways a Taiwanese citizen could immigrate to America) In the reading, it states that by the 1990’s half a million asian made up 7% of the new york city popluation. Most of the “chinese” who immigranted to American were consisted from either Taiwan or Hong Kong, to flee the communist oppression of China. Most of the Asians that came to New York City resides in mainly Queens which is where i grew up.

Julia’s parents came here from Taiwan originally for education. Then, they came here on their honey moon and loved it even more so they stayed, got their green cards, and created a new life in the United States.
