Answer 1

D is the correct answer
Higher than average unemployment was not true of Asian Americans during the 1980s

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. It is not true that during the 1980s Asian Americans had higher unemployment than the average in the United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

Asian Americans are residents of the United States, who were either born in Asia or have Asian ancestry. The term "Asian Americans" was coined in the late 1960s by the historian Yuji Ichioka to better identify the members of a new radical political identity of Asian ethnic groups with similar backgrounds, experiences and aspirations.

In 2010, about 17 million Asian Americans lived in the United States. The largest group is the Chinese (3.7 million), followed by the Filipinos (3.4 million) and the Indians (3.1 million). The majority of them live in big cities. About 50% of Asian Americans live in Hawaii and on the west coast of America.

Asians were only able to immigrate again after 1965, when the racist quota system of the Immigration Act of 1924 was repealed.

Among all American ethnic groups, Asian Americans have always had the highest life expectancy, the highest average household income, and the lowest crime rate.
