Hey fellow NT'ers,
First off, yeah this is for school. I'm taking a masters level course about culture. When given the choice to research a culture that's not my own, I was interested in learning more about Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders. It's a demographic I can see myself working with here. I have a few interviews already but would LOVE to get more perspectives, particularly from other parts of the country outside of here in the Midwest. As a minority myself, I've found it interesting how similar some of our experiences can be...along with how different.
Anyways, if you're Asian American and willing to help/educate a fellow NT'er out, please let me know. If you got the time for like a 20-minute interview, though phone, IM, e-mail, whatever, that would help me out a lot. My e-mail is jalaves@mail.roosevelt.edu
I'll post some of the question up on here if anyone is more interested in posting on here instead. All I ask is if you give me your age and location, on here or PM.
Here's some of the questions:
Do you think that your experiences are similar to or different that other members of your culture? How and why?
What are the most important values and beliefs of your family? Which are more important to you?
Have you ever experienced prejudice or discrimination? Obstacles or barriers because of your race/ethnicty? Please describe.
How do you think others outside of your culture view your culture?
Your help is appreciated. And if you think it's lame for me to ask NT for homework help, that's cool too. I feel awkward too. But I won't mind getting flamed. Hopefully I'll get some feedback too. Thanks. Also, not a pick-up-an-Asian in disguise either. I do feel weird asking for A/L
