Welcome to Highline's Asian American Studies class!

Asian American Studies is offered through the Culture, Gender, and Global Studies Department at least twice during the academic school year.  If you are interested in learning more about the history of Asians in America, the roles Asian Americans are stereotyped into, and current issues of race, identity, assimilation, and acceptance, then enroll into our informative and interactive discussion of Asian Americans and their experiences and concerns.

Race in America is not Black and White.  The Civil Rights Movement affected all people of color and mobilized them to work for justice and equality.  Why are people of color divided?  Isn't freedom and liberty the right of every American?  Or are some Americans more "American" than others?
