A large amount of Chinese and Japanese began immigrating to the U.S. in the mid 19th century. Many of these immigrants worked as laborers on the transcontinental railroad. A surge in Asian immigration in the late 19th century gave rise to a fear from some, referred to as the "yellow peril."

Asian American - Usage.
The term Asian American is credited to the historian Yuji Ichioka who, in the late 1960s, used it to describe members of a new pan-ethnic radical political identity who shared common histories, experiences, and goals. In the United States, this term has widely supplanted the term "oriental" which was popularly used before the 1990s to describe East Asian peoples regardless of nationality, upbringing, or origin. Some have argued "oriental" is politically loaded and referenced a colon ...

| | | | | | American: Encyclopedia II - American exceptionalism - Arguments for American exceptionalism Those who believe in American exceptionalism argue that there are many ways that the United States clearly differs from the European world that it emerged from, as well as other countries in the globe. It is important to note that the term does not in any way imply superiority. This point is more often confused than not. Many cannot get it out of their heads that one can be different without necessarily being better or worse. In fact, some of America's most distinctive characteristics include the legacy of slavery and segregation in the Sout ...

American liberalism - Early American Liberalism.
Herbert Croly (1869-1930), philosopher and political theorist, was the first to effectively combine classical liberal theory with progressive philosophy to form what would come to be known as American liberalism [1][2]. Croly presented the case for a planned economy, increased spending on education, and the creation of a society based on the "brotherhood of mankind," ideas that are now an integral part of American government. Croly founded the periodical, The New R ...

| | | | | American: Encyclopedia II - American Kenpo - Origins of American Kenpo Once Parker had accumulated significant information and skills, he decided to "Americanize" what he had learned into an American cultural style he chose to call "American Kenpo." Parker made a conscious decision to create a commercial product in order to spread the beginnings of his art, even though its core was still a work in progress. Deciding upon a "motion based concept", partly out of necessity, it allowed his many transfer black belt students to work with his conceptual ideas with significant flexibility to allow personal interpretati ...

| | | | | | American: Encyclopedia II - German American - First German Americans German immigrants made up a substantial population of colonial Pennsylvania, where they often came into political conflict with the Quakers. The first German settlement in Pennsylvania was founded in 1683, although some Germans were already in America in other colonies at that time. Eventually, Germans would constitute about one-third of the population of Pennsylvania at the time of the Revolution.
A large German colony in Virginia called Germanna was located near Culpeper and was founded by two waves of colonists in 1714 and 1717. Ma ...

Africans in America, like their European counterparts, are composed of many diverse ethnic groups. Over 40 identifiable ethnic groups from 25 different kingdoms were shipped to the United States after being sold to traders during the Atlantic Slave trade.
