Taualumna,
Your comments are typical of many people, Greek or not, in the U.S. who have a very hard time comprehending Asian AMERICAN.
People love the "Asian cultures" as in the food, the kimonos, the Geisha girls, etc., but when it comes to the oppression that has faced many Asian Americans, things such as Executive Order 9066, The 1924 Immigration Act, the riots, etc., people don't pay attention.
THAT is why there is a need for Asian AMERICAN Greek organizations. Sure, we focus on Asian culture and things in ASIA, but our membership is primarily Asian AMERICAN, and most members have had a VERY different experience than people growing up overseas.
aurorablue and SOPi_Jawbreaker hit things right on the head, and made excellent points.
If you are "more interested in Asian histories/cultures in Asia than Asian history in this part of the world", then that's fine, but over here in the USA it is Asian AMERICAN history, so get it right please.
