Welcome to
Asian-America Scholars Connect

A place for all Asians of every ethnicities to discuss their community issues.




That's right, it's not a typo. It's Asian-America! Asian-America concerns people of Asian descent and heritage. Asian-America also seeks to combat extreme racism towards Asian-Americans as well as other minority groups. Asian-America seeks to preserve our Asian heritage by spreading awareness of Asian culture. We do not support corporate marketing of our culture; due to the negative degrade effects. But we do support individual non-profit groups who seek to spread word of Asian heritage and culture. We actively encourage you to post your opinions and thoughts so please by all means speak your minds! We are here to celebrate our diversity and our uniqueness as Asians. We are here to be friends, to discuss concerning issues, and to learn from one another! Arguments and dissents are expected, but please carry them out in a mindful and respectful manner.


This group is for those who are interested in discussing Asian American issues, and concerning Asian American politics. Whereas this forum mostly may pertain to east or southeast Asians along with pacific islanders, Asians of other descent are welcomed too! All opinions and views (which are presented in a respectful manner) will be respected in kind. We like a diverse atmosphere with many opinions, but remember not to be outright insulting!


This group was formed out of racial persecution. It was formed to combat anti-Asian racism and to defeat discrimination against people due to color of skin or place of heritage. The aim of this group is to achieve Asian Empowerment through equal rights and representation. We are here to speak out and to break invisibility.
