1. Section "Intermarriage"
"Before the 1960s, the trend of Japanese Americans marrying partners outside their racial or ethnic group was generally low, as well a great many traditional Issei parents encouraged Nisei to marry only within their ethnic/cultural group. Arrangements to purchase and invite picture brides from Japan to relocate and marry Issei or Nisei males was commonplace.[citation needed]"

can be modified as;

"Picture marriage (shashin kekkon) was a common practice for Japanese immigrants in the early 20th century in the United States, of arranging marriage by exchanging portraits and information on each other’s backgrounds. The marriage was usually set by relatives or acquaintances of Japanese immigrant men and Japanese women in Japan, across the Pacific Ocean "

2. Section "Immigration"
"People from Japan began migrating to the US in significant numbers following the political, cultural, and social changes stemming from the Meiji Restoration in 1868. Large numbers went to Hawaii and later the West Coast."

can be modified as;

"Japanese immigration to the United States begun as contract laborers. The very first labor immigrants who came to the United States worked in sugar plantations in Hawaii, and they were recruited in the vicinity of Edo, the present Tokyo, and Yokohama. 148 workers arrived in Hawaii in 1868, but since they were all nonfarmers, they were sometimes involved in brutal treatment by mounted field overseers called luna. "

3. Section " Immigration"
"In recent years, immigration from Japan has been more like that from Western Europe. The numbers involve on average 5 to 10 thousand per year, and is similar to the amount of immigration to the US from Germany. This is in stark contrast to the rest of Asia, where family reunification is the primary impetus for immigration. Japanese Americans also have the oldest demographic structure of any non-European ethnic group in the US."

Information below can be added to this context as;

3 remarkable host states are California, Hawaii and New York. The second dominant groups are Washington, Texas and Florida.
