The Demographic Diversity of Asians and Pacific Islanders in California
Larry Mantle and a panel of experts discuss a report being released by the Asian Pacific American Legal Center about the demographic diversity of Asians and Pacific Islanders in California. The report “The Diverse Face of Asians and Pacific Islanders in California” reveals how many ethnic groups within the Asian community don’t conform to stereotypical notions of Asians as affluent and extremely well educated. According to the demographic profile, there are 4.5 million Asians and Pacific Islanders living in California. They have the levels of linguistic isolation in the state and below average homeownership rates. AirTalk will broadcast the panel discussion live from the Ballroom of Our Lady of Angels Cathedral. 89.3 KPCC is a co-sponsor of this event. Joining Larry is Stewart Kwoh, President and CEO of the Asian Pacific American Legal Center; Kimiko Kelly, Co-author of demographic profile, Research Analyst Asian Pacific American Legal Center; Sukhee Kang, City Councilman from the City of Irvine, and Quoc Tran, coordinator for English Language Development for the Alhambra Unified School District.
