Asian Pacific Americans as Permanent Aliens in American Culture" (Robert Lee); (5) "Residential Patterns of Asian Pacific Americans" (Tarry Hum and Michela Zonta); (6) "From Vincent Chin to Joseph Ileto: Asian Pacific Americans and Hate Crime Policy" (Karen Umemoto); (7) "Asian Pacific Americans and Human Rights/Relations Commissions" (Pauline Agbayani-Siewert); (8) "The Affirmative Action Divide" (Paul M.
