#AAPIHeritageMonth Happy to see American Planning Association recognize UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs's Professor Paul Ong as an AAPI who has advanced the field of urban planning! It's been a great honor to work with him and learn about his contributions towards greater equity and inclusion in our cities.

Asian Americans are still perceived as the “model minority.” But this is a myth — one that flattens diverse experiences and doesn’t align with current statistics. Here are misconceptions that have arisen from the trope. trib.al/DGACdBc

Enjoyed the opportunity to facilitate our workshop on MovementHub.org and share how the anti-racism resource hub, data, and maps can help amplify AAPI on-the-ground activism and organizing! AAPI Civic Engagement Fund UCLA Center for Neighborhood Knowledge

New UCLA Latino Policy & Politics Institute analysis on the #2020Census numbers in CA shows that the state continues to grow more multi-ethnic/multi-racial but in some interesting ways: ➡️Latinos and Asian Americans are fueling CA’s growth and together make up 54.5% of the population

Our Census 2020 Factsheet was featured in articles by the Los Angeles Times, The Associated Press, and Long Beach Post on the results of the U.S. #Census and its impact on communities of color and low-income neighborhoods in particular. #Census2020 luskin.ucla.edu/ong-on-repercu…

Had the opportunity to work on this project, looking at currently publicly available data on indigenous populations in Los Angeles and the critical need for more data that can inform educational needs!

The study found persistent racial inequities in who applied for & received assistance. Asian & Latino renters in CA were more likely than non-Latino whites to be behind on rent. Yet, they were the least likely groups to actually apply for & obtain rent relief.

Big thanks to UCLA Strategic Communications for the opportunity for us to tell our story and share the program with the UCLA community! It's always a fun and engaging time to play basketball and be a part of such an inclusive community.

Despite accounting for 38% of the workforce and 39% of the state population, Latinos owned just 13% of employer businesses in TX in 2020. In contrast, white Texans represented 41% of the workforce but owned 65% of businesses. Latinos owned 59k firms in 2020.

While Latinas owned only 25% of Latino-owned businesses, they were 3 percentage points more likely to own a business than non-Hispanic white women, who owned 22% of white-owned businesses, highlighting the entrepreneurial spirit of Latinas.

Latino-owned businesses in Texas were more likely to be concentrated in the construction, accommodation, and food services industries, relative to white-owned businesses—two industries that were highly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite the disparities, compared to the national Latino population, Texan Latinos are more likely to own a business across all industries. This may indicate that business ownership and entrepreneurship are more accessible for Latinos in Texas than in other states.
