What if these laws had never been signed into law?

# 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act Cessation of immigration from China
# 1907 Gentlemen's Agreement of 1907
# 1917 Asiatic Barred Zone Act Cessation of immigration to the U.S. from mostly Asian countries, including the region of British India.

How would it effect Asian-American demographics today? How would it effect political races?

We'd probably be much more numerous in many states. As for political races, I don't know.

What Asian country do you have ancestry in?

We're 30% asian even if we don't keep the Phillippines and are significantly influenced by Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Vietemese culture.

We probably see the 1920's immigration laws passed in 1900's.  More European immigration would have been diverted to South America instead, especially Argentina, perhaps causing Argentina to join the Axis early in World War II.  Japanese-American relations would not have been as strained as they were in the early 20th century.  Might well have been less support for annexing Hawaii as well, and probably would have been done as a Philippines style unincorporated Commonwealth instead of as an incorporated Territory.

Why? A more asian US would mean that that instead of all ending up in Hawaii asian immigrants end up everywhere in the US.

No, it would have meant that there would have been more Asian emigration. About the same number would go to Hawaii, and more would have ended up in the United States than in our time line.

Asian emigration of the late 19th century was limited primarily by the availability of places that would accept Asian immigrants, not the supply of willing emigrants.

Sounds alot more Victorian when you repeat the same concept twice in one naming convention.

I could actually see some of the sparsely-populated Western states becoming for marginalized Asian ethnic or religious groups what Utah became for the Mormons. Hakka Wyoming anyone?
