Definition
- Asian gang is a generic definition that refers to groups formed, in most cases, by individuals of Filipino, southeast Asian, or Far Eastern backgrounds. The term is also employed for the emerging gangs whose members are of southern-Asian origin, and is occasionally applied to groups made up of Pacific Islander descendants.
