Abstract

The filipinos were among the first Asian groups to enter the U.S. Unlike other groups, they had a unique colonial history, and thereby their acculturating experiences were not the first encounter with discrimination they faced. Though they were considered nationals, they weren't citizens and therefore were subject to prejudice and heinous Catholicism being the dominant religion of practice. Today the filipinos are the largest Asian American immigrant group to the U.S. (Chan, 116) In light of this, the following research explores whether or not the filipinos' unique colonial history affects their acculturation experiences in the U.S.; whether these are negative or positive; and finally whether the experiences differ among generational cohorts.
