Abstract	This report discusses several perspectives on Asian/Pacific Americans and the educational issues that relate to them. It begins by providing a definition of "Asian/Pacific American," an historical account of their immigration, and a discussion of minority status and cultural relativism. A number of studies and personal experiences that demonstrate stereotypic attitudes and prejudice against Asian/Pacific Americans are cited. The report then analyzes the educational needs and experiences of the Asian American community. The issues of language, self concept, ethnic stereotypes, and curriculum bias are addressed. It is claimed that textbooks offer a negative and stereotypical view of Asians, and that ethnic studies programs, as presently structured, are unable to correct these distortions. The importance of person-environment match in the education and social adjustment of Asian/Pacific minorities is stressed. (APM)
