Compared to the suicide rate of white Americans (12.8 per 100,000 per year), the rates for Filipino (3.5), Chinese (8.3), and Japanese (9.1) Americans are substantially lower. However, Native Hawaiian adolescents have a higher risk of suicide than other adolescents in Hawaii, and older Asian American women have the highest suicide rate of all women over age 65 in the United States. There is also a growing concern about increasing suicide rates in the Pacific Basin.

There is a range of educational attainment in the AA/PI population. In 2000, 44% of Asian American adults had a college or professional degree compared to 28% of white Americans. 58% of South Asian Americans (from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka) fell into this group. In contrast, in 1990 only 12% of Hawaiians and 10% of other Pacific Islanders had completed college, and 2 out of 3 Cambodian-, Hmong-, and Laotian-American adults had not completed high school.

The average family income for AA/PIs is higher than the national average. However, AA/PIs still have a lower per capita income and higher rate of poverty than non-Hispanic white Americans. In 1990, about 14% of the whole AA/PI group was living in poverty, compared to 13.5% of all Americans, and 9% of non-Hispanic whites. Among subgroups, poverty rates ranged from a low of 6% for Filipino Americans to a high of 64% among Hmong Americans.

AA/PIs are not overrepresented among high-need, vulnerable populations such as people who are homeless, incarcerated, or have substance abuse problems. However, they are heavily represented among refugees. Many Southeast Asian refugees are at risk for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) associated with trauma experienced before and after immigration to the U.S. One study found that 70% of Southeast Asian refugees receiving mental health care met diagnostic criteria for PTSD. In a study of Cambodian adolescents who survived Pol Pot's concentration camps, nearly half experienced PTSD and 41% suffered from depression 10 years after leaving Cambodia.

Filipinos have the lowest prevalence of mental illness of any forms, hence we got one of the lowest suicide rates of any group.
As for educational attainment Filipinos are one of the highest, while 2 out of 3 Cambodian-, Hmong-, and Laotian-American adults had not completed high school.
Average income and poverty rate: Again, Filipinos has one of the highest average income, and the lowest poverty rate.
Mental health issues are not a concern for us Filipinos, but it is for the Cambodians.

First of all, this topic is flawed to begin with. The Flips been in the United States way before other SE Asian groups. And second, the Flips was the U.S. b!tch after being Spain b!tch. English is pretty much taught as a second language to the Flips. But still, the Flips speak with a funny accent.

Laos traces its history to the kingdom of Lan Xang, founded in the fourteenth century, which lasted until the eighteenth century, when Siam invaded and assumed control of the separate principalities that remained. To avoid a costly war with the French, the Siamese king ceded lands now known as Laos to them, and these were incorporated into French Indochina in 1893. The French saw Laos as a useful buffer state between the two expanding empires of France and Britain. Under the French, the capital (Vieng Chan) was changed to Vientiane. Following a brief Japanese occupation during World War II, the country declared its independence in 1945, but the French re-asserted their control and only in 1950 was Laos granted semi-autonomy as an "associated state" within the French Union.

Control by Vietnam and socialisation were slowly replaced by a relaxation of economic restrictions in the 1980s and admission into ASEAN in 1997. Nonetheless, Vietnam still wields political and economic influence in Laos.
