亚裔的光荣

再次当选德州福遍郡郡长的亚裔乔治日前在社区中心举行盛大餐会，欢迎休斯敦地区各国领事外交团， 有来自亚洲、 非洲 、欧洲及拉丁美洲等五十位外交使节代表参加 ，并听取福遍地区之目的经济发展及未来之蓝图计划。

位於休斯敦近郊之福遍郡是全美族裔最多组成之地区， 其所在地之糖城及米苏里市有近七十万居民，近年来多次被选為全美最宜於居住之城镇之一 。由於该地区有眾多受过高等教育之亚裔居民 ，因而创业及高科技人员特别多， 也是造就该地区经济发达之最大原因。

今天的主人亚裔郡长乔治先生也是来自印度之第一代移民，他本身因勤走基层 ，瞭解市民需求，而且為人和善，才能在眾多候选人中脱颖而出， 第二次当选郡长。

我们对於他的成就表示由衷之支持和敬佩 ，尤其是代表移民之第一代， 也表徵了我们对美国社会之贡献， 老实说 ，只要我们努力，大多数人仍然是认同我们的成就，那些歧视亚裔之政客仍是少数中之少数。

The Glory of Asian-Americans

KP George who was re-elected as Fort Bend County judge recently held a luncheon at the community center to welcome the Houston Consulate Corp. More than fifty diplomatic envoys from Asia, Africa and Europe attended the event and listened to the blueprint of the region's future.

Ft. Bend County, located near Houston's suburbs is the most ethnic area in the United States with a population of nearly 700,0000 in the Sugarland and Missouri City areas. It has been selected as one of the most livable areas in the nation. 

Nearly twenty percent of the residents are Asian and because they are highly educated and work in the high-tech industry, the region has become one of the most prosperous economic areas in the country.

Our host Judge George is of the first generation of immigrants from India. He is diligent and understands the grassroots of our community. He understands the special needs of the residents in the region, so he was elected easily to a second term as judge.

Mr. Geroge, we are all very proud of you. Your success represents the contributions of our new immigrants to our society. It is only the very few politicians who discriminate against Asians who don’t know about, or do not fully understand, the important value of our diversity.
