dc.description	Several respondents were interviewed about their experiences as Asian Americans growing up in the Midwest. They specifically talk about the stereotypes and prejudices they face, and also comment on the specific scenario when people ask them where they are from. This scenario normally entails a person asking another (generally non-Caucasian) where they are from with the intent of finding out their ethnic origins rather than the location they are from. The project focuses on the responses of Midwestern Asian Americans and how they deal with this scenario as well as other stereotypes that they have faced. The respondents were found by e-mailing various Asian American student organization e-mails and asking for volunteers to share their stories as Asian Americans. One interview was with a UW Alumni who identified as bi-racial Taiwanese-American, one interview was with another woman who identified as Taiwanese-Chinese-American, two were first generation Taiwanese American students UW-Madison students, and one was a graduate student in the UW Madison Counseling Psychology department who identified as Chinese-American originally from California.	en
