Japanese American Ethnicity Peter Cartwright South Carolina Department of EducationTraces the contemporary ethnic experiences of Japanese Americans As one of the oldest groups of Asian Americans in the United States, most Japanese Americans are culturally assimilated and well integrated in mainstream American society.
