The AAPI Latinx population in the United States now stands at 886,000, a figure that has more than doubled in the last two decades.
Periodically, the Latinx Files will feature a guest writer. This week, we’ve asked De Los reporter Andrea Flores to fill in. When Kevin Kandamby introduces himself, it’s never in halves. “I’m fully Mexican and fully Sri Lankan,” he said. Both his mother and father— immigrants from Mexico and Sri Lanka, respectively — ensured that both cultures were present in their household. Kandamby, who self-describes as “MexiLankan,” never had to choose between Catholicism or Buddhism, frijoles or dal.
In the 1850s, hundreds of Chinese laborers were contracted to help build Panama's railroad system. In 1899, Japanese agricultural farmers aboard the Sakura Maru ship arrived in Peru — the first Latin American country to establish diplomatic relations in Asia — giving birth to an entirely unique diaspora. In 1900, the U.S. brought an influx of Puerto Rican sugarcane workers to Hawaii, a year after acquiring both territories.
