White Americans certainly have their fair share of folk heroes and mythological characters (think Paul Bunyan, Pecos Bill, and Fearsome Critters), Blacks have their own (Br'er Rabbit and John Henry), and Indeginous people of course have their own mythologies. However, to my knowledge Asian Americans (East Asian or South Asian) have to my knowledge have never had anything of that sort. I could be wrong and wouldn't mind being corrected, but given that large scale immigration from those nations only started in the latter half of the 1800's and into the 1900's, I can presume that the main reasons are "Time" and "Communities being smaller then other POCs'".
So with a POD of 1750, create a distinct body of folk myths for an Asian-American community, perhaps by taking existing myths from East or South Asian cultures (China, Japan, India, or Filipino) and adding influence from european-american and indeginous cultures, just as African-American folktales did.
