Notes 1 The U.S. Census Bureau definition of Asians refers to a person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent. [1][2][3] 2 The United States Government classified Kalmyks as Asian until 1951, when Kalmyk Americans were reclassified as White Americans.[4] 3 Most Central Asians are classified as White Americans.[5] 4 The U.S. Census Bureau reclassifies anyone identifying as "Tibetan American" as "Chinese American".[6] 5 Bengali Americans may be classified as Bangladeshi or Indian.[7] Punjabi Americans may be classified as Indian or Pakistani.[8]
6 According the Supreme Court of the United States case Dow v. United States and the United States Census Bureau, West Asians are de jure racially categorized as White. Those of West Asian extraction (i.e. the Middle East and the Caucasus) are classified as White under the U.S. Census.[9] 7 DNA tests prove that Romani people originated from India.Roma/Romani have recognized origins and historic ties to Asia (specifically to Northern India), but they experienced at least some distinctive identity development while in diaspora among Europeans. 8 Armenia and Cyprus are located entirely in Asia, but historically have ties with Europe. | ||
