the immigration act of 1965

"restrictive immigration quotas" - why was the american dream only for whites? - http://www.asian-nation.org/indian.shtml

In a span of 80 years of immigration, only 800 were registered as having immigrated (those of Indian origin) to America...

"Only 7,629 immigrants from South Asia are said to have arrived in the United States by 1965." and "Indians had come to the United States as early as 1820."

terrible. 145 years of immigration led to 7,500 immigrants. That's literally 51 South Asian immigrants every year.

"If given the chance to go to school, Indian children devour it like a hungry person does food." - heh. a comment on one of the pages.

so, what was the act that opened America up to South Asians? (the reason I'm here).

"President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the legislation into law, saying "This [old] system violates the basic principle of American democracy""

"equalizing immigration policies, the act resulted in new immigration from non-European nations which changed the ethnic make-up of the United States"

third culture kid

so i've been pondering this whole third culture kid thing. its crazy... i don't know... like i'm dealing with POWERFUL things when it comes to these things. like... i don't know. there's just ALOT going on that needs to be looked at. it's hard to srtof just move on and just live a new life. I always feel like I've got one foot in the door. Perhaps because I guess you could say an entire life I lived is lost, as if I've lived and died many times. I feel OLD, very old, and feel like I've seen and done many things, but those things have little or no connection to my life today. People just don't care what I've experienced, they aren't really valuable to anyone. Nobody really cares about the time i spent in England as a kid. Or my experiences out like... in Chicago with the Sikh religion. Nobody really cares about the experiences i faced over in Dayton losing my family ...
