Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper discusses results of in-depth follow-up interviews conducted with selected individuals of Chinese descent residing in Los Angeles and San Francisco who were previously chosen by random to participate in the 2000-01 Pilot National Asian American Political Survey. A total of 15 male and female informants migrated from Taiwan, Mainland China, and Hong Kong were interviewed in Mandarin Chinese. They were asked to compare the performance of the U.S. government to that of the government in their respective ethnic homeland. They were also asked to explain their reasons for supporting a certain U.S. political party, ideology, and type of candidates. In addition, they commented on the state of political participation or the lack of it among Chinese Americans. Finally, they explained the complexity of their ethnic self-identification and experience of racial discrimination. The results help dispel myths about Chinese Americans being politically indifferent and irrational. They help illuminate the possible relationships between ethnic identity, homeland politics, and political participation in the American context. They also provide exciting insights on improving the survey instrument regarding a majority-immigrant population.
