The Big Picture: Understand Asian American’s Inherent Diversity and Thoughtfulness

Asian Americans are incredibly diverse, hailing from many different countries across Asia. This results in rich diversity in languages spoken and country of origin traditions. However, their immigration history and the segment’s values create connections across sub-segments, creating a shared Asian American experience in the United States. One of these shared values is the desire to live their lives with balance – merging both their familial expectations with their own aspirations. Their thoughtfulness in pursuing balance shows up across all of their group traits.
