Map Discrepancy edit
The lead says that Asians are 6.5% of the US population (5.4% Asian alone), and the map says that Asians are 7.2% of the population. Can we correct the discrepancy between the map and the text? 021120x (talk) 21:58, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
Khamarhaqam, please stop with this. The changes you're making are contrary to the source, which supports the figures as they currently appear. Cordless Larry (talk) 18:49, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

The history of Asian Americans in the United States is a long and complex one, and the timeline for the beginning of Asian American history can be traced back to the early 1800s. The first documented arrival of Asian immigrants in the United States was in 1815, when Filipino sailors came to what is now known as Morro Bay, California.
However, the largest wave of Asian immigrants to the United States began in the mid-19th century, when Chinese immigrants arrived in California to work in the gold mines and on the Transcontinental Railroad. Japanese, Korean, and Filipino immigrants followed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and many more Asian immigrants came to the United States in the decades that followed.
Throughout their history in the United States, Asian Americans have faced discrimination and persecution, including the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, and ongoing racism and violence against Asian Americans in recent years. Despite these challenges, Asian Americans have made significant contributions to American society and culture and have become an integral part of the country's history.

I've removed ethnic groups that were not listed in the 2020 U.S census graph.[1] Several of the sources provided as of this version are not from 2020 or the 2020 U.S census.[2] I'm pretty sure "Indo-Caribbean" entries would be included within the Asian Indian number. I doubt the 4.5M Indian-American number was solely from people who were born in or have parents directly from India, and the source is labelled with the year "2007" and retrieved from 2018![3] How are those numbers accurate to the 2020s decade?
The Taiwanese American number is 213,774 according to the 2020 Census graph for Asian and Pacific Islander Americans.
I'm also seeing a message saying: No Results Found We couldn't find any results that matched your search.
on the alleged Hong Kong American search retrieved in 2022.[4] The source provided for the Bhutanese American number in the info graph does not exact numbers for them.[5] The only mention of "Asia" is by region of foreign-birth. Clear Looking Glass (talk) 03:47, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
