Asian growth fueled by Indians
By Cecilia Kang, Mercury News
With the nation’s Indian and Vietnamese populations booming over the
past decade, the makeup of America’s fastest-growing ethnic group —
Asians — is rapidly changing, according to new census data released today.
For most of the past century, Asians in America fell neatly into one of
two categories: Chinese or Japanese. But over the past 10 years, as the
Indian population surged in the Bay Area, Indo-Americans became the
third-largest Asian group. Japanese-Americans fell to seventh place.
I actually never thought of indian people as asians. It just surprised me a little bit. I mean since they are from the Asian continent I suppose its true, but its going to take a bit for me to pound it into my head. Ugh.
