our show today focuses on our local asian-pacific-american community, or apa for short. the library of congress defines the asian pacific as encompassing all of the asian continent, as well as the pacific islands of melanesia, micronesia, and polynesia. a u.s. census estimate in 2015 found 19 million residents of asian and pacific islander descent with a total u.s. population of 248 million people. in california, asian and pacific americans make up almost 21% of the population. and the bay area census in 2010 found that asians and pacific islanders make up almost 24% of the population, inching above latinos as the largest minority race across the nine counties. abc7's chris nguyen is here now with local apa leaders to talk about important issues affecting our bay area communities. >> cheryl, it's great to be here. i'm excited to introduce you to our panel of guests today. gina su is an actor based here in the bay area. she's the winner of the 2016-2017 miss asian global pageant. next, lan diep is an attorney. he currently serves as a san jose city council member represent

we don't use the language of pathology asian-american students generally outperform white american students. >> fair enough. >> why are white american students underachieving. are they watching tv. where are their fathers. we don't talk about white people in same language. >> even if we did, talking about it in the same language would address the problems that black continue to suffer disproportionately. we can relativize it. we still don't address it. >> these are important points that you're raising. the, but the second one, i think look at it this way. because i think this is what jelani is trying to say. many people in the admissions process come into college, many, many, people, receive some kind of special consideration because of where they come, they come from arizona or they come from you know, bell -- belgium or africa. the administrations process takes into account a lot of different things. race and ethnicity two among many. legacies. children of alumni have some special consideration at every college and of the, including mine. the question then, and the differences by the way

refusal to register trade marks that were offensive and trade vitamins finally it was brought by an asian american rock bond. >> will hear argument in case 151293 lee versus ten. >> may please the court. the statutory provision of issue in this case 15 us 1052 a prohibit the registration of any mark that may disparage persons and institutions, police or national symbols. based on that provision the pto denied response application to register the slants as a service marker has been to the pto is willing to not limit responsibility to use the mark in commerce or otherwise to engage in expression or debate on any subject he wishes. because section 22 a is the experiment provision places a reasonable limit on access to a government program rather than a restriction on speech it does not violate the first amendment. >> the copyright is government program? >> with a copywriting copyright education is a government program but it's historically been much more tied to first amendment values into the incentivized vision of free expression. >> but that part of me seems to ignore the fact that we have a cultu

. >> the respondent in the case is agreeing to enroll in an introduction asian-american studies class>> reporter: the department says this is the first airbnb discrimination case they have pursued and they wanted to do more than just issue a fine. >> this is sort of an element that we like to call restorative justice, which means that, you know, people can make mistakes, people can do bad things, but they're not irredeemable. >> reporter: she agrees with that and appreciates that the former host has agreed to learn more about asian-americans. >> taking a terrible incident and then turning it into a good thing, like an educational opportunity, um, i think, is a much better remedy than just a fine or having sanctions. >> reporter: she also hopes this case encourages other victims racism to speak up and seek justice. >> the california department of fair employment housing just showed us that they do take it seriously and they will fight for us. so i hope more people come forward. >> reporter: she says she hasn't met or spoken to tammy barker, the airbnb host, since this happened. but as

and promising not to discriminate and paying a fine host here is actually going to enroll and asian american studies course and college she's going to volunteer for a civil rights organization and she's going to participate in a community education panel that we're going to host about bias so the fact that part of the agreement includes ms marker taken the college level course and asian american studies has gotten a lot of attention why did your agency choose to include that as part of the work of here i mean what are what are you hoping to achieve with that decision and i suppose some people just come up a certain way that there is what they're exposed to the other side of the argument as you've heard so many times is gee whiz these are personal choices these are rights that people should have work comes to their property they ought to be able to make decisions if they want to serve somebody the other may be able to make decisions according to what their personal beliefs are. so what are you hoping to that that obviously is the argument that i'm sure you hear all the time but in this case w

american immigrants, the gateway to america. hello and welcome to a special edition of "asian pacific america." i'm robert handa, your host for our show here on nbc bay area and cozi tv. today, we explore the story of chinese american immigrants in the bay area, and to start our program, we go to the chinese historical society and museum. sue lee: so we're going to the gallery, where we have this magnificent mural displayed, which depicts 100 years of chinese american history in 1952. robert: so why did he choose this imagery for his very first picture? sue: it's about chinese american history and where--and it starts off with where we came from. so we come from china, and the great symbol of china is the dragon. so you've got the dragon, and you have the great wall. and then the people, the men in this frame, are the men of guangdong province, or canton, where most chinese who came in-- 160 years ago came from. and the work that they did there was very difficult. they were farmers. they were laborers. robert: and that brings us to-- sue: the second frame is where you have the man looking or hea

we are talking about the achievement of asian-american students. we use this language of pathology around african-american achievement. we do not say what is wrong with white students? why are they underachieving? where are their fathers? are they watching too much tv? >> i don't think talking about them in the same way, talking about it in the same language would address the problems that blacks continue to suffer disproportionately. >> these are important points you are raising. look at it this way. i think this is what he is trying to say. many people in the admissions process receive some kind of special consideration because of where they come from, arizona, belgium, africa. the admissions process takes into account a lot of different things. race and ethnicity are simply two among many. legacies. we all know the stories of children of alumni have some special consideration at every college, university, including mine. the question, and the differences, by the way, are not that significant. the qualifications of the students coming in are unbe

capital so by and large that means white people because most african-americans you know americans asian americans we come from humble beginnings not that you know our white colleagues don't but we don't typically have the same rolodex so if you're trying to raise three and a half million dollars or ten million dollars or twenty five million dollars and you try to go to people to invest four hundred thousand dollars here and seven hundred thousand dollars there well you can ask your aunt and cousin and niece and nephew you have to have people who have high net worth and who have you know significant disposable incomes so part of my job as a producer of color is to increase my network on an ongoing basis to find not only people of color but anyone at all who cares about the kind of. stories that we want to tell. and in addition i part of my. five to try to do is i actually every year have a session for aspiring producers of color so there are people out there who want to produce but they have no idea we're dipping in they don't have any connections so it's a sort of a primer and as my career grows

that's what this list ultimately does it's a way to suppress the the vote of african-americans asian americans hispanics and by the way it's done a real job on student voters as well that's why they want the rest of the list because he's only got twenty eight mostly republicans so as i mentioned forty five states have said no we're not going to give you that data you say you know a wait a minute hold your horses this is not what it sounds like. well as frank sinatra told us fairy tales may come true they could happen to you but not in not with republican secretaries of state they in fact so for example the louisiana and mississippi republican secretaries of state there little katherine harris's in charge of the voting in those states they say the guy from mississippi said kobach and trump can jump in the gulf of mexico as far as he's concerned never given the stuff louisiana said they've asked for this stuff these files before will never give them over guess what fact check both the louisiana and the mississippi secretary of state both republicans handed over their lists to kris kobach in janu

. - african-americans, hispanics, asian-americans, young people, women, gays, and lesbians, that was that coalition that got him elected in 2012. - and it's a perfectly rational, if you're a strategist and you're thinking ahead, how do we win the majority in the future. - it's the ascendent population groups, right? - yep. but in so doing, you abandon all of these working class white men, mostly, but women too and i think that when you look at the way that america, the american system, our system, the electoral college, the way the congressional districts work, it matters and i think, here's the thing, i always thought that marco rubio was probably the best republican, the best conservative that republicans should have nominated. - well he'd be able to straddle both the old republican base and this emerging demographic. and this emerging demographic. - so that was my idea but there's no way that he would have won pennsylvania and ohio and wisconsin. and maybe he would have found a different map, a different route to victory, who knows, but it's entirely plausible that donald trump wa

segment on chinatown and it was widely viewed, and i agree coming as being offensive towards asian-americans were just asian in general. traffic in a lot of stereotypes. people just -- now, o'reilly gets on television and talks with chris wallace on fox news about this and says while, you know, nobody made much of a fuss about it it wasn't until people got a hold of it. isn't that a good thing that things were amplified? that people said look at this, you may have missed it because neither you nor i or anyone else can see all of cnn or fox or all of radio so isn't it good that amplification? >> guest: i don't think i use the word evil in the book and i am careful to say some people may very well agree with what is done. they offer they've been such a way that it's intended to have overwhelming support for something when maybe there's not. maybe it is a handful of similar people operating in different names, with different groups and sometimes social media accounts but then takes off the grass rootgrassroots part but you coud argue depending on if it is a good thing. so i'm kind of dissecting
