However, when it comes to the resources offered to Asian Americans compared to other minorities, the differences are as clear as night and day. Not underrepresented? Unlike African Americans and Latinos, who are both recognized as having full minority status at the University, Asian-American students are not placed in the same category. Both African Americans and Latinos are considered underrepresented minorities because their percentage in the undergraduate population falls beneath their respective percentages in the state population. Asian Americans comprise 11 percent of the University's undergraduate population. The total state population of Asian Americans is two percent.

The six largest subgroups of Asian Americans are from China, the Philippines, Japan, Asian India, Korea, and Vietnam. Hawaiians, Samoans, and Guamanians are the three largest Pacific Islander subgroups. Although Asian Americans reside across the country, approximately 66% live in California, Hawaii, Illinois, New York, and Texas. Approximately 75% of the Pacific Islanders population live in just two states – California and Hawaii. Asian American population nearly doubled in size from an estimated 3.5 million in 1980 to almost 7 million in 1990, while Pacific Islanders population grew by 41% between 1980 (259,566) and 1990 (365,024).

Understanding Our Perceptions of Asian Americans By Peter N. Kiang, Ed. D. Graduate College of Education, University of Massachusetts at Boston Related Lesson: Perceptions: Asian Americans A waitress asked: "Where are you from?" I told her my great-grandfather came to work the mines in New Mexico. My grandfather was a tailor in Oakland and my mother was born in Stockton. And the waitress interrupted and without any hesitation said: "So how do you like your new country?" a Chinese American attorney He asked the price of beef. Then he said: "You Koreans charge too much." My brother said: "I'm not Korean, I'm Cambodian." But he's mad. He says: "You Koreans rip us off." a Cambodian-born store owner The growth and diversification of the Asian American population in recent years has been nothing short of phenomenal. Driven by sustained immigration and refugee resettlement during the 1970's and 1980's, Asian Americans have emerged as the nation's fastest growing racial group. Given that the school-age Asian American population doubled in the 1980's and is expected to double again between 1990 and 2020, our schools and the larger society must confront some critical questions. For example, what do we know and what can we teach and learn about Asian Americans? Asian Americans number more than 9.1 million in the U.S. and represent more than thirty different nationalities and ethnic groups, including Samoan, Tongan, Guamanian, and native Hawai'ian from the Pacific Islands; Lao, Hmong, Mien, Kmhmu, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Thai, Burmese, Malay, and Filipinos from Southeast Asia; Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Indian, and Sri Lankan from South Asia; Afghani and Iranian from Central Asia; and Korean, Japanese, and Chinese from East Asia. In the year 2000, the six largest Asian nationalities in the U.S. will be Filipinos, Chinese, Vietnamese, Koreans, Asian Indians, and Japanese. The diversity of Asian Americans, in terms of their various languages, cultures, and histories is remarkable.

Asian Americans Society tends to group all Asian Americans together. However, they are a diverse group including such ethnicities as Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Indonesian, and Vietnamese. Asian Americans face a difficult economic life in the United States. According to Joel Spring in American Education , "Cambodians, Vietnamese, and Laotians have the highest rate of welfare dependency of any racial or ethnic group in the United States" (p 131). Discrimination exists because Asian Americans are overlooked in schools. Teachers assume that these students will do well in school and neglect their educational problems. Because of this, 23% of Asian Americans do not have a high school diploma. Asian Americans are not shown role models either. Usually, they are not seen in US history books. There is also discrimination against students who do not speak English as their first language. However, it is required that schools provide these children with the extra help they need.

The next largest groups are Americans of Asian Indian, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese ancestry.

However, this number represents an increase of 63% from the 1990 census, making Asian Americans the fastest growing of all the major racial/ethnic groups in the U.S., in terms of percentage growth.
