Notes 1 The U.S. Census Bureau definition of Asians refers to a person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent. [1][2] 2 The United States Government classified Kalmyks as Asian until 1951, when Kalmyk Americans were reclassified as White Americans.[3] 3 The U.S. Census Bureau considers Afghanistan a South Asian country, but does not classify Afghan Americans as Asian,[4] but as Middle Eastern American.[5] 4 The U.S. Census Bureau considers Mongolians and Uzbeks as Central Asians,[6] but a specific Central Asian American group similar to Middle Eastern American does not yet exist.[7] 5 The U.S. Census Bureau reclassifies anyone identifying as "Tibetan American" as "Chinese American".[8] 6 Bengali Americans may be classified as Bangladeshi or Indian.[9] Punjabi Americans may be classified as Indian or Pakistani.[10] Tamil Americans may be classified as Indian or Sri Lankan. |
