Asian Indian Americans
Immigration
Generational Changes

The economic, political, and social opportunities promised by life in the United States have drawn immigrants from numerous countries. Recently, the term "Asian" Asian American that has been officially established by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Office of Homeland Security to include all Asians and Southeast Asians, now attempts to recognize the major differences as well as the cultural variations that exist within and among nations and races from Asia by further differentiation.1 Nevertheless, there continue to be generalized and overwhelming perceptions in the public that Americans of Asian origin are similar in many ways, that they constitute a "model minority," are professionally successful, and, according to their own cultural notions of health, are well adjusted both emotionally and mentally.
