The Asian American movement was driven largely by student activists invigorated by anti-Vietnam War and black power movements. Challenging stereotypes about Asian "passivity" and rejecting labels such as "oriental," Asian American activists mobilized this new consciousness to demand an end to racist hiring practices, biased school curricula, demeaning media stereotypes, residential discrimination, and the gentrification of historically Asian American neighborhoods. And even though it was mostly a youth movement, it could be argued that the Asian American movement transformed older community institutions, created new ones, and dramatically advanced the position of Asian American power in American urban politics.
