The survey of over 7,000 Asian adults living in the U.S. revealed divides and similarities in the way they view themselves and the community at large. But when it comes to identifying who is Asian, definitions tend to vary by ethnic group. An overwhelming majority of those surveyed, 89%, said they consider East Asians to be “Asian;” 88% said they considered Southeast Asians as “Asian;” and 67% said South Asians fit the definition.
But despite the varying ideas of who fits under the umbrella — and the fact that only a quarter of Asians say they are informed about Asian American history — around 60% of those surveyed said that what happens to other Asians in the U.S. impacts their own lives. Around 70% said they want a national leader that advances the concerns of the Asian community.
