Abstract
After WWII, the formation of group identity had become an efficient solution for vulnerable groups to protect human rights. Asian Americans, as other minority groups in American society, were suffering from racial discrimination in different social areas, such as education, employment, and welfare, especially in the 1970s California, which was regarded as the biggest settlement of Asian Americans at that time. However, when other minority groups achieved the unique identity of themselves to defend basic human rights against structural discrimination. Asian Americans failed to do so. This paper intends to argue that under the excluded social integration and self-weakness, deviation in recognition for both inside Asian Americans and outside American Society was the main reason not to form their own identity, which made Asian Americans suffer from human rights violation.
