1. What I found interesting in the latter chapters of the book was the discussion of how the employers chose their employees. These mindsets seem almost borderline racist, and were certainly based mainly on stereotypes. I simply question whether these mindsets come from cultural differences created before immigration, after immigration, or were they developed from racism and stereotypes?

2. Secondly, I just found it very interesting reading the quote on page 135 by the Chinese woman who talked about studying for the citizenship test. I connect to this quote because my parents recently passed their citizenship tests; they are English so they didn’t have to learn an entirely new language in order to take the test, but they did have to study up on the questions that the Chinese woman mentions practicing with her daughter and my parents did study while I was around, so I can relate to that.
