Question

What does the category "Asian American" and/or "Pacific Islander" mean to you? Who is often included or excluded from these categories? Are these categories useful?

Answer 1

Asian-American are Americans of Asian ancestry

Step-by-step explanation:

Asian Americans are Americans of Asian ancestry. Although this term had historically been used for all the indigenous peoples of the continent of Asia

Pacific Islanders are the people who belong to the three domains of Oceania; and those are “Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia”

I think that they can be useful in identifying the specific area that an individual is from as opposed to guessing.
