요약	The study examines the adaptation patterns and race relations of second generation Indian American and Korean American professionals. The study finds that both groups maintain a significant amount of their ethnic cultures and consider racism to be a real problem. Still, they are adapting into the mainstream culture via <italic>how</italic> they go about their ethnic and racial identities. Both populations endorse the standard multicultural perspective that ethnicity should be mostly a private affair, and that race is best dealt with through cultural education of group differences, not through social structural changes. Specifically, the groups express their ethnicity and race in line with standard multicultural expectations in terms of what parts of their ethnicity they express at various times and how they advance inter-racial equality.
요약	The study finds, in particular, that the communities' religious and secular organizations, actors' parents, and out-group members expect the participants to maintain a relatively traditional ethnic identity, with little concern for race. The participants for the most part maintain these social expectations. Participants develop their ethnic identities via one of three paths, depending on their experiences as youth, and then undergo “identity work” later in life based on these youth experiences. Most construct a relatively traditional ethnic identity, characterized by language maintenance, adherence to ethnic values, commitment to co-ethnic friendships and marital partners, and continuance of ethnic symbols and traditions. Some, however, maintain relatively weak ethnic identities. Regardless of how traditional their ethnic identities, the participants act on their identities in a similar manner. In their daily lives and life course decisions, they only express their ethnicity in ways that do not violate the expectations of four major domains (work, leisure, home and civil society), even if adhering to the domain expectations makes them uncomfortable. They express their ethnicity mostly in private and only express it publicly in ways that do not threaten inter-ethnic unity, as fitting standard multicultural rhetoric. In terms of race, the participants complain of anti-Asian discrimination and some even feel closer to other minorities than to the majority as a result. Still, they endorse a multicultural perspective on race relations by arguing that inter-racial equality can best be achieved through inter-cultural education, not through such social structural changes as affirmative action or minority set-aside programs. Given their emphasis on cultural maintenance for both their ethnic and racial identities, the participants feel highly attached to their ethnicity. They also feel tied to their “American” identities since they were born and raised in the U.S. They deal with the conflicts between these identities through acting on both their ethnic and American identities at different times and, mostly, through “identity talk,” where they refer to actions that fit one identity as actually fitting both identities. This allows the participants to maintain a sense of having traditional ethnic identities while they may act in a relatively “American” manner. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
