The Pew Research Center has just released the results of a new poll of Asians in America, the country's fastest growing racial and ethnic group in recent years.
The Pew Research Center completed the first-of-its-kind poll of approximately 7,000 adults which was conducted in English and five other languages and sheds new light on how Asians—both immigrants as well as those born in the U.S.—perceive themselves and others. As reported by Joe Hernandez of NPR, the report placed a particular focus on the six largest Asian subgroups—Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese—which together account for about four in five Asians across the U.S.
This article highlights the following five takeaways from the survey:
- Only 16 percent call themselves Asian American. Most prefer to use their specific ethnicities.
- There are differences in how Asian immigrants and those born in the U.S. see themselves.
- Respondents do not see Asians in the U.S. as a monolithic group.
- Asians are politically diverse.
- Asians share similar views of what it means to be American with other U.S. adults.
