[quote=Anonymous][quote]FYI, Amy Chua, the author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, is NOT an immigrant--she was born in Illinois. Please be mindful not to attribute "perpetual immigrant" status to Asian Americans. [/quote] I believe the PP meant no harm and is likely American ... but not of Anglophone origin. My experience in this country (as a third generation American) is I am automatically assumed an immigrant here because skin color and phenotype, and not American. My American parents had similar experiences. Clearly, by the middle of this century these assumptions and preconceived notions will change but it does take some time. [/quote]
