Abstract
The second half of the twentieth century witnessed dramatic changes that re-shaped Asian America.The formal dismantling of exclusion laws starting in 1943, combined with immigration reforms and refugee migrations opened new avenues of entry and brought new groups to the United States for the first time.The Asian American population increased rapidly in these years, growing ever-more diverse along class and ethnic lines.Geographic mobility also expanded.No longer concentrated in West Coast urban centers, Asian Americans began to spread out, settling in areas across the United States, in cities and suburbs alike.The field of urban history is only starting to examine these more recent demographic transformations.Much of the earlier scholarship focused on the late nineteenth and early twentieth century period, when Asians first began arriving in large numbers and establishing Chinatowns, Japantowns, and Little Manilas in West Coast cities, with an emphasis on California.Anti-Asian exclusion remained a constant theme in these works, which in the urban context meant segregation, containment, and the creation of borders (both symbolic and material). 1It's not that early Asia America lacked diversity or that scholars approached this history in the same way.Rather, the exclusion regime targeted all Asians regardless of background, which served as a unifying force in the scholarly literature.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
