The White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders

America is a diverse country. There's whites, blacks, Hispanics, Pacific Islanders, and then there's the Asian community. Of course it's not just the Chinese people in the Asian community; there are Cambodians, Hmong, Laotians, and many more. Jason Tengco talks to us about the Initiative, the model minority myth, and youth political involvement.
