 Hello,

 I'm going to explain and elaborate on how Asians, and Hispanic Immigration work to the present day in the United States. According to the article Asian Immigrants in the United States in 2014 by Jie Zong and Jeanne Batalova  "As of 2014, the top five origin countries of Asian immigrants were India, China, Philippines, Vietnam, and Korea. The immigration motivation has greatly varied over time and by country of origin, ranging from employment and family reunification to educational or investment opportunities and humanitarian protection". The number of Asian immigrants has grown from 491,000 in 1960 to about 12.8 million in 2014. Lately, China and India have been overtaking Mexico inflows of recent arrivals-Asian immigrants are projected to comprise a greater share of all immigrants, becoming the largest foreign group in the United States, according to "Pew Research Center estimates." 

Hispanic Immigration, as a Hispanic immigrant to this country we are basically known as one of the highest immigrant groups of the United States, and also stereotypes as all of us being Mexicans. Studies mostly research Mexicans since they are the largest group of Hispanics in the U.S. As a result, net Mexican immigration to the U.S is at a standstill, and the Mexican-born population in the U.S. started to decline in the last half of the most recent decade. the Mexican-born population grew 23% from 2000 to 2005, peaked in 2007 with 12.6 million, and started to decline slightly in 2010. In 2011, the Mexican-born population in the U.S. decreased still further, to 12.0 million. 

In my opinion, they both came here to the United States seeking new opportunities and a better future for their lives. The U.S. started to flag Hispanics, during 2007 and from there the data started to decrease, and they were able to stop the huge increase of Hispanics coming in the U.S; yet that led to Asians to increase from there and become one of the highest immigrant groups in the U.S.

 Written Reflection What are my thoughts on how colored people are treated in the media?      Regarding the Social topic of racism during the 1900s. The film industry had a huge impact on who and how they cast their roles. According to the article "Humiliating Roles Turn Actor into a Cabbie' by Jose Angel Santana. Emphasizes the way white privilege ruled the industry and demand. Minorities such as Latin-Americans and black people were usually portraited with humiliating roles.      Most ill-fated fictional characters come from the ranks of poor, Latino, and 'alien' men. The percentage regarding the performers hired by big film industries is 5% below their U.S. population. In television White people r3ecieve around 82% of all roles, in contrast, 3% of Latino/Hispanics hired for TV jobs fall short.      The author expressed their experience as a Cuban man, who wasn't aware of how the field works, and in a matter of time, he noticed it didn...

     Regards to the African-American timeline, these are some of the events that I consider significant for black history.  1619 -  The first African American indentured servants arrive in the American colonies. Less than a decade later, the first slaves are brought into New Amsterdam (later, New York City). By 1690, every colony has slaves. To satisfy the labor needs of the rapidly growing North American colonies, slavery started to spread throughout the American colonies quickly. African-Americans were treated as humans but objects and mistreated to the point they are just overexploited. They didn't have rights, nor their own freedom. A lot of them died throughout the process out of starvation, overwhelmed, and abuse from their owners.  1868 - The 14th Amendment is ratified, defining citizenship. This overturns the Dred Scot decision. On July 21, The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution is ratified, granting citizenship to any person born ...
