As of this post, there are 8 votes for NONE. You 8s must be f*cking racist crackas. Without Asian's contribution, America is not what it is today.

Remember that, listen, learn and absorb. Because the RISE OF ASIA is inevitable so buckle up, prepare ... YOU will KOWTOW to the Asian race in the near future.

If you don't know what that means ... too bad. LOL!!!
Ha Ha Ha!!!

One guy that I would definitely put up on that list is An Wang, the guy who invented magnetic core memory. This is an invention that has fundamentally changed our world. And yet he is conveniently ignored.

Here are a few names:
David Ho, Time Magazine's former Man of the Year and leading AIDS researcher
Liu Jin Guang (sorry, I don't know the Cantonese spelling of his name, which is the version he went by)--created the Florida citrus industry by developing frost resistant oranges and grapefruit
Senator Daniel Inouye--wounded WWII hero and Senator who fought for civil rights and to make the U.S. a fairer nation for all
Iris Chang, writer and human rights activist, helped Americans remember the Pacific Front of WWII and the atrocities committed during the Rape of Nanking
Harry Ueno--fought against inequality in America while interned in the Manzanar internment camp during WWII; organized a strike; was later sent to Topaz after being branded a troublemaker (bless him!); a decorated WWI hero
The All-Nisei 442nd Battalion--most decorated battalion in WWII, one of their divisions even liberated Dachau (see the book by Lynn Crost, former AP reporter during WWII for more background on why these men did not receive the honor they deserved); suffered greatest number of casualities for any battalion in WWII
The unsung Asian American computer programmers who have been working to create America's technology since the 1950s! (I know, my uncle was one of these pioneers)
The unnamed Chinese American Railroad workers, many who died while building the transcontinental railroad, left behing in unmarked graves.
Anna May Wong--screen goddess of the 1910s -50s--a real pioneer, a strong woman who fought against racism in Hollywood especially the use of Yellow-Face to portray Asians; she didn't always win her battles but she fought the good fight and America is better off because of her efforts!
(i could got on and on, but I figure no one will read more than this. I've got more than 10 people on the list already)
