Fabrickator revert of 8 May 2020

I've reverted this article back to the 20:21, 27 April 2020‎ edit by Cyfal, with some additional edits.

Here's what's being reverted:

the drop of Malaysia from portal bar
- 23% of Malaysian population is Chinese, when these Malaysians come to America, I presume they may be considered as Chinese-Americans, which would seem to justify including Malaysia on the portal bar.
the drop of reference to "Standard Chinese", based on a claim that "SC is not a language"
- I'm going to call this bogus. There are different forms of the Chinese language, and one of those forms (evidently Mandarin) is considered the "standard" form.
the the drop of paragraph about Chinese who identify as Jewish
- This topic seems to have quite a bit of coverage. I've added some relevant citations, providing some fair support for these claims. Feel free to improve on my efforts. Fabrickator (talk) 05:40, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion in "History" Section on Chinese Women Migrants

Hi Wikipedians,

I plan on making some changes to this Wiki page and wanted to inform you all before I make them. There's some information missing in the section titled "History" about the experiences of Chinese Women migrants. They're not mentioned at all, so I plan on adding information about the topic. I do not plan on removing any information or rearranging anything. I plan on adding information following the third paragraph in this section, as it will fit nicely following the information provided on the Gold Rush. I will talk about the experiences that Chinese women migrants had in America in the nineteenth century. For example, many went through stricter background checks than Chinese men, when they arrived to America. They were interrogated for days and asked intrusive questions about their family lives. Chinese women were also prevented in large numbers from legally immigrating to the United States, which lead to an imbalanced sex ratio among Chinese American populations. Once these women had been approved and let into the country, they experienced new hardships. Many Chinese women were coerced into prostitution, with over 60% of the adult Chinese women living in California in 1870 working in the trade. I gathered this information from a book chapter titled "Nineteenth Century Immigration: Chinese Women Came to the Gold Mountain” which is found in Huping Ling's book titled Surviving on the Gold Mountain : A History of Chinese American Women and Their Lives. This source is reliable as the book was published by State University of New York Press, a reliable publisher, in 1998. The author, Ling Huping, is a professor at Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri. She also founded the Asian studies program at the university. Altogether I'll add between 200 and 300 words to the "History" section. If anyone wants to comment on these changes, please let me know on this Talk Page or on my Talk Page!

Uncited text in intro

I've moved this uncited text from the intro. Feel free to move it back with citations: "About half or more of the Chinese ethnic people in the U.S. in the 1980s had roots in Taishan, Guangdong, a city in southern China near the major city of Guangzhou. In general, much of the Chinese population before the 1990s consisted of Cantonese or Taishanese-speaking people from southern China, predominately from Guangdong province. During the 1980s, more Mandarin-speaking immigrants from Northern China and Taiwan immigrated to the U.S. The Chinese population in much of the 1800s and 1990s was almost entirely contained to the Western U.S., especially California and Nevada, as well as New York City. Chinese immigrants and their descendants generally lived in Chinatowns (especially the ones in San Francisco and New York), or Chinese populated districts in downtowns of major cities." PRRfan (talk) PRRfan (talk) 02:44, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've added it back with some citations. The first half has a lot of evidence to it (and is a summary of the rest of the article's information), the latter half seems true but may be frustrated by vague terminology (how many is "generally"?) and should also probably mention non-city Chinatowns like San Marino. Calabax (talk) 00:27, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reorganization

This article is a confusing mishmash of many different cultures and histories all mixed together. The primary problem is organization.

The "History" section is about 19th century Chinese-American West Coast history. This is undeniably relevant to the status of Chinese Americans today, but is described in greater detail than necessary for a page that is meant for "Chinese Americans" in general.

The "Demographics" section focuses on the demographics and statistics of East Coast Chinatowns, and could use some more history instead of just statistics.

The "Modern Immigration" section, previously named Immigration, is a relatively tiny section with information about immigration after the PRC opened China, which began in the 1980s. It's part of the reason there's a big cultural difference between the early wave and later waves of Chinese immigration, because there's literally hundreds of years of economic level, cultural difference, and degrees of assimilation between the them.

The "Socioeconomics" section is focused on 1980s+ Chinese American international students. It, unlike the previous sections, also cites many more individual news articles rather than research studies, and seems to be focused on students rather than the holistic Chinese population. How many students are immigrating? From where are they from? It makes many statements such as "With their above average educational attainment rates, Chinese Americans from all socioeconomic backgrounds have achieved significant advances in their educational levels, income, life expectancy, and other social indicators" which is obviously less applicable to Chinese Americans that came to America because their ancestors "mined for gold and performed menial labor" as stated earlier in the article.

Many of the studies are from 2000-2010 textbooks, and should be updated with research from 2010-recent.

The Chinese Americans page length right now is 145,592 bytes. The article on Irish diaspora is 142,657 bytes. However, Chinese Americans article is much more confusing than the lrish diaspora article. The Irish diaspora article links to relevant historical events driving immigration such as the Great Famine, and immigrant conflicts such as the Irish American slang, which I would like to see the Chinese American versions of. Calabax (talk) 20:02, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I propose more categories so we can maintain the Chinese Americans page as a useful hub page for Chinese Americans, instead of this mishmash of different waves of immigration. Do not delete information, or remove uncited text, but move it onto pages where it fits better and create links between articles. We don't want the new Chinese to overwrite the old Chinese, and we don't want the old Chinese to overwrite the new Chinese. Calabax (talk) 20:04, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

-Current lede text says that <blockquote>" Like the Europeans, Chinese people were some of the earliest immigrants to live in the U.S."</blockquote> after saying that the first Chinese arrived in 1820. What is the sense of this? The European settlement of the Americas began in the 16th century, what would become the US in the early 17th. What is this about? [[User:Lycurgus|Lycurgus]] ([[User talk:Lycurgus|talk]]) 23:24, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
-:Yeah, I came to the discussion board just for that statement. It is quite ridiculous. I'll delete it if I can. It's part of that having your "cake and eating it too" thing that ethnic groups have in this country. They want to be seen as here since the beginning but then retain a fierce allegiance to their ethnic culture. Can't have it both ways that is why places like California are ethnically a mess. Asians live in San Jose, whites in the suburbs, blacks in Oakland, etc. You either have to assimilate or not, and if you choose not to like most Asians then you can't claim some "originalist" position on being there from the beginning.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/99.38.145.35|99.38.145.35]] ([[User talk:99.38.145.35|talk]]) 05:43, 30 September 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-::Er, ''that'' doesn't make sense. One can assimilate from the beginning and the statement would be perfectly valid. On the other hand, the original point was nonsensical since the Chinese were only "some of the earliest immigrants to live in the US" for very peculiar and self-serving values of "some". The idea is obviously to promote them relative to other ethnic groups; even unjustifiably lumping all Europeans into a single group, the Chinese arrived later than immigrants from Central America, South America, and Africa. Even within Asia, they arrived much later than the [[Asian Indian|Indians]]. —&nbsp;[[User talk:LlywelynII|<span style="text-shadow:#BBBBBB 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em; class=texhtml">LlywelynII</span>]] 00:28, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

-:However, the section still needs to explain whether Chinese Americans have dual citizenship, and there's a difference between those from the PRC versus the ROC. (Details for those from HK/Macau and other SE Asia countries can be considered.) Dual is relevant because people now migrate both ways. Additionally, settling in the US and becoming US citizens aren't as notable except for the percentage in the population. [[User:HkCaGu|HkCaGu]] ([[User talk:HkCaGu|talk]]) 04:10, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
-::One should look at citizenship laws for respective countries for finding out that information. It would not make sense to list citizenship laws for every single country.

-:::This is a very interesting point...it seems the other ethnic pages tend to use celebrities and popular icons as well. It's probably not the most balanced approach and lends itself very easily to cherry picking. You could justifiably put up pictures of criminals, terrorists, and other unsavory types instead of popular actors, athletes, and philanthropists.

+Hello fellow Wikipedians,
-== Total Population ==
-In instances in the U.S., multiracial individuals are classified within specific ethnic groups. For example people with 1/8 (I think this is the number, can't remember) Native American ancestry are considered Native American and historically due to the [[One-drop rule]] or ideas similar to the one-drop rule, African Americans who have Caucasian/White ancestry are still considered African Americans despite having Caucasian/White ancestry. To reflect this, I have changed the population in the infobox from the 2010 census to the 2009 American Community Survey 1-Year Estimates published by the census bureau. The census data so far does not include individuals who are of multiple ancestries. <span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:14px"><b><font color="#4682B4">[[User:Elockid|Elockid]]</font></b></span>   <sup>(<font color="#99BADD">[[User talk:Elockid|Talk]]</font>)</sup> 22:54, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

-== Not in source ==
-In February [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Chinese_American&diff=479049508&oldid=478909180 I tagged] a source that does not support the content. The content in question is as follows:
-{{quote|They make up at least 25% of the undergraduate student body at UC Berkeley while making less than 2% of the American population, and are more likely to attend college, go to graduate school, and earn higher income than most ethnic groups in the United States.}}

-I have read the source and it is not supported, and thus I tagged it as failing verification. No where in the article does it state that Chinese Americans make up 25% of the undergraduate student body at [[University of California, Berkeley]]. It further does support the rest of the statement.

-==Significant Urban Population list needs redo==
-Right now, there's an unsourced list of Chinese American population centers that ranks Honolulu's 30k-odd as more "significant" than New York's nearly half a million.
+Hello fellow Wikipedians,
-'''A)''' That's nuts. A list of significant US Chinese-American population centers should be based on actual population, particularly since the % Chinese can be sorted on its own by those curious for that list.
+I have just modified 10 external links on [[Chinese Americans]]. Please take a moment to review [[special:diff/813808445|my edit]]. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit [[User:Cyberpower678/FaQs#InternetArchiveBot|this simple FaQ]] for additional information. I made the following changes:
-'''B)''' Worse, the current info's unsourced and dubious. '''It lists a few thousand people in Riverside, while excluding areas mentioned elsewhere in the article as major centers of Chinese population''' such as Washington and Las Vegas. If there are tens of thousands in those cities, that's more important than whatever difference may be apparent between their 0.85% Asian demographic versus Riverside's 1.00% Asian demographic. —&nbsp;[[User talk:LlywelynII|<span style="text-shadow:#BBBBBB 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em; class=texhtml">LlywelynII</span>]] 01:11, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

+Here's what's being reverted:
+* the drop of Malaysia from portal bar
+** 23% of Malaysian population is Chinese, when these Malaysians come to America, I presume they may be considered as Chinese-Americans, which would seem to justify including Malaysia on the portal bar.
+* the drop of reference to "Standard Chinese", based on a claim that "SC is not a language"
+** I'm going to call this bogus.  There are different forms of the Chinese language, and one of those forms (evidently Mandarin) is considered the "standard" form.
+* the the drop of paragraph about Chinese who identify as Jewish
+** This topic seems to have quite a bit of coverage.  I've added some relevant citations, providing some fair support for these claims.  Feel free to improve on my efforts. [[User:Fabrickator|Fabrickator]] ([[User talk:Fabrickator|talk]]) 05:40, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
+== Expansion in "History" Section on Chinese Women Migrants ==
+Hi Wikipedians,
+I plan on making some changes to this Wiki page and wanted to inform you all before I make them. There's some information missing in the section titled "History" about the experiences of Chinese Women migrants. They're not mentioned at all, so I plan on adding information about the topic. I do not plan on removing any information or rearranging anything. I plan on adding information following the third paragraph in this section, as it will fit nicely following the information provided on the Gold Rush. I will talk about the experiences that Chinese women migrants had in America in the nineteenth century. For example, many went through stricter background checks than Chinese men, when they arrived to America. They were interrogated for days and asked intrusive questions about their family lives. Chinese women were also prevented in large numbers from legally immigrating to the United States, which lead to an imbalanced sex ratio among Chinese American populations. Once these women had been approved and let into the country, they experienced new hardships. Many Chinese women were coerced into prostitution, with over 60% of the adult Chinese women living in California in 1870 working in the trade. I gathered this information from a book chapter titled "Nineteenth Century Immigration: Chinese Women Came to the Gold Mountain” which is found in Huping Ling's book titled ''Surviving on the Gold Mountain : A History of Chinese American Women and Their Lives''. This source is reliable as the book was published by State University of New York Press, a reliable publisher, in 1998. The author, Ling Huping, is a professor at Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri. She also founded the Asian studies program at the university. Altogether I'll add between 200 and 300 words to the "History" section. If anyone wants to comment on these changes, please let me know on this Talk Page or on my Talk Page!

+== Uncited text in intro ==
+I've moved this uncited text from the intro. Feel free to move it back with citations: "About half or more of the Chinese ethnic people in the U.S. in the 1980s had roots in Taishan, Guangdong, a city in southern China near the major city of Guangzhou. In general, much of the Chinese population before the 1990s consisted of Cantonese or Taishanese-speaking people from southern China, predominately from Guangdong province. During the 1980s, more Mandarin-speaking immigrants from Northern China and Taiwan immigrated to the U.S. The Chinese population in much of the 1800s and 1990s was almost entirely contained to the Western U.S., especially California and Nevada, as well as New York City. Chinese immigrants and their descendants generally lived in Chinatowns (especially the ones in San Francisco and New York), or Chinese populated districts in downtowns of major cities."

+:I've added it back with some citations. The first half has a lot of evidence to it (and is a summary of the rest of the article's information), the latter half seems true but may be frustrated by vague terminology (how many is "generally"?) and should also probably mention non-city Chinatowns like San Marino.

+== Reorganization ==
+This article is a confusing mishmash of many different cultures and histories all mixed together. The primary problem is organization.
+The "History" section is about 19th century Chinese-American West Coast history. This is undeniably relevant to the status of Chinese Americans today, but is described in greater detail than necessary for a page that is meant for "Chinese Americans" in general.
+The "Demographics" section focuses on the demographics and statistics of East Coast Chinatowns, and could use some more history instead of just statistics.
+The "Modern Immigration" section, previously named Immigration, is a relatively tiny section with information about immigration after the PRC opened China, which began in the 1980s. It's part of the reason there's a big cultural difference between the early wave and later waves of Chinese immigration, because there's literally hundreds of years of economic level, cultural difference, and degrees of assimilation between the them.
+The "Socioeconomics" section is focused on 1980s+ Chinese American international students. It, unlike the previous sections, also cites many more individual news articles rather than research studies, and seems to be focused on students rather than the holistic Chinese population. How many students are immigrating? From where are they from? It makes many statements such as "With their above average educational attainment rates, Chinese Americans from all socioeconomic backgrounds have achieved significant advances in their educational levels, income, life expectancy, and other social indicators" which is obviously less applicable to Chinese Americans that came to America because their ancestors "mined for gold and performed menial labor" as stated earlier in the article.
+Many of the studies are from 2000-2010 textbooks, and should be updated with research from 2010-recent.
+The Chinese Americans page length right now is 145,592 bytes. The article on Irish diaspora is 142,657 bytes. However, Chinese Americans article is much more confusing than the lrish diaspora article. The Irish diaspora article links to relevant historical events driving immigration such as the Great Famine, and immigrant conflicts such as the Irish American slang, which I would like to see the Chinese American versions of.  [[User:Calabax|Calabax]] ([[User talk:Calabax|talk]]) 20:02, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
+:I propose more categories so we can maintain the Chinese Americans page as a useful hub page for Chinese Americans, instead of this mishmash of different waves of immigration. Do not delete information, or remove uncited text, but move it onto pages where it fits better and create links between articles. We don't want the new Chinese to overwrite the old Chinese, and we don't want the old Chinese to overwrite the new Chinese.
