KQED Public Radio in San Francisco, CA aired this broadcast on the Sun Merc controversy on Dec. 29, 2005. According to reporter Rene Gutel, Arizona has experienced a large influx of Asian-Americans in the last 15 years. Their numbers have more than doubled since 1990 to about 3% of the state’s population. But there have been Asians in the desert for generations, and now a controversy is heating up over the last remnant of their early history.
