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][3] 2 The United States Government classified Kalmyks as Asian until 1951, when Kalmyk Americans were reclassified as White Americans.[4] 3 The U.S. Census Bureau reclassifies anyone identifying as "Tibetan American" as "Chinese American".[5] 4 Bengali Americans may be classified as Bangladeshi or Indian.[6] Punjabi Americans may be classified as Indian or Pakistani.[7] 5 Those of West Asian extraction (i.e. the Middle East and the Caucasus) are classified as White under the U.S. Census.[8] | ||
