In many instances. the reaction of Asians was to turn inward. to establish their own communities or ghettoes. like Chinatown or Japantown. or turn to small businesses or farms where they did not have to compete for employment against Caucasians--further isolating and insulating their communities from the rest of American society. In time. however. Asians became more integrated in American life. The progeny of immigrants were born citizens. spoke only English. watched television and went to the movies. danced to the latest music. and felt they earned their place In society through workplace contributions and military service. As they assimilated. AsianAmericans enjoyed success in many areas of endeavor.
