According to U.S. minority stereotypes, Asians are wealthy, highly-educated, and problem-free. Data-gathering efforts like the U.S. Census can reinforce this stereotype because they pick up mostly English-speaking residents who tend to be better off. So when professor Yuri Jang set out to conduct a survey for the city of Austin on the needs of the city’s fast growing Asian population, she made sure that the survey was offered not only in English but also in six different Asian languages—Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Hindi, Gujarati, and Tagalog. About half of the 2,609 participants chose one of the translated versions, and the sample captured Asian immigrants struggling to make a life in Austin as well as more well-established Asian-Americans. The City of Austin will use this data for future policymaking and fund allocating.
