I honestly did not know that europeans such as ancient greece were very intrigued by asians countries. Althought Greeks/Mediterranean, Turkish and Middle easterns all seem to share similar cultures. Euorpean, Eurasian and Asian and are all considered white. I already knew who Christopher Columbus is and I hate him for being a fake pioneer, stealing peoples lands, raping and killing and for proselytizing natives. I also did not know that Filipinos were called Indians. Many Asians seek american life as it was much richer than most asian countries and they could escape depravity, famine, and harsh realities. No longer having to be tortured and live in such rural areas.
Today immigration is a bit harder due to ICE, COVID and having a monster for a president. Years ago it was a bit easier to fill an application or even having to sneak into the country. We have faster modes of transportation to move from state to country, be it car, boat or plane, there’s always a chance to get into the country
