The Most Influential Asian/Pacific People in the History of the United States of America (Part 1)
20
Note: I m not of Asian, and/or Pacific Descent. I m not claiming to know what it s like to experience life as someone from this heritage, nor am I claiming these are the absolute most influential people of this race. I m simply stating my opinion in honor of this month.
The month of May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month here in the United States of America(USA).
This is a period for the duration of the month of May for recognizing the contributions and influence of Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans to the history, culture, and achievements of the USA. This not only includes Asian/Pacific people born, and raised in the USA, but also immigrants from the 59 countries which represent Asian/Pacific people.

About Lambert Strether
Readers, I have had a correspondent characterize my views as realistic cynical. Let me briefly explain them. I believe in universal programs that provide concrete material benefits, especially to the working class. Medicare for All is the prime example, but tuition-free college and a Post Office Bank also fall under this heading. So do a Jobs Guarantee and a Debt Jubilee. Clearly, neither liberal Democrats nor conservative Republicans can deliver on such programs, because the two are different flavors of neoliberalism (“Because markets”). I don’t much care about the “ism” that delivers the benefits, although whichever one does have to put common humanity first, as opposed to markets. Could be a second FDR saving capitalism, democratic socialism leashing and collaring it, or communism razing it. I don’t much care, as long as the benefits are delivered.
