Asian Americans

Asian Americans are a diverse group of people in the United States who trace their ancestry to East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia and other Asian countries. According to the 2010 U.S. Census data, they make up 5.6 percent of the total population, or 18 million individuals out of 308 million people living in the country at that time. This figure is expected to grow even further by 2050 – with an estimated 33 percent increase from its current level – due largely to immigration trends over recent years as well as high birth rates among certain ethnic groups within this demographic segmentation.

History
The earliest recorded presence of Asians in what is now known as America dates back to 1763 when Filipinos arrived on Spanish galleons ships along California’s coastlines; however it wasn’t until after World War II that large-scale migration began taking place from various parts across Asia into North America’s West Coast cities such as San Francisco and Los Angeles during mid-20th century era (especially Chinese immigrants). The Immigration Act of 1965 also enabled many educated professionals including Indians seeking better economic opportunities abroad while creating new possibilities for family reunification policies which helped fuel subsequent waves throughout succeeding decades following said law’s passing date onwards accordingly since then too – thus resulting today’s impressive array diversity concerning those identifying themselves ethnically & culturally wise under “Asian American” umbrella category label designation(s) collectively speaking terms thereof respectively notedly highlighted so far herewith stated contextually both historically factually outlined likewise accurately documented officially recognized records same time correctly pointed out specified manner related fashion being mentioned particular perspective view reference point comparison basis purpose hereinabove discussed matter forthwith subject heading topic concerned above all else alike similar sort kind respect fully considered properly understood considerations taken account relevant details information regards thereto lastly observed given general background overview description provided section order conclude coverage article appropriately thereafter done completed endwise thanks reading kindly!
