Preferred term

Asian/Pacific Islanders  

Definition

  • Estimates suggest that, at the present time, just over 60% of the global population resides on the continent of Asia; however, this is an underestimate of the global population of Asian and Pacific Islanders (API) because numerous API reside outside Asia. In the United States alone, Asian and Pacific Islander Americans (APIA) represent one of the fastest-growing minority populations.
