Appendix E

The document summarizes statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau about Asian American diversity. It shows that as of 2020, there are over 13 million Asian Americans, comprising over 25% of the foreign-born population. Asian Americans have higher levels of education and income compared to other groups. While most Asian Americans live in urban areas on the coasts, the population is projected to more than triple to over 33 million by 2050 as Asian immigration and birth rates increase. In the future, Asian Americans are expected to become an even more diverse and influential group in U.S. society while balancing maintaining their cultural traditions.

Next, answer the following questions:

a. What do these statistics reveal about Asian diversity in America?

These statistics show that even though Asians face discrimination and prejudice like many
other people in the United States, they have done fairly well establishing themselves and
becoming educated.

b. What do you believe is the future of Asian diversity in America?

As we can see, the projected numbers for the Asian American communities are expected to
grow over the years. I personally think that the more that come to America, the more the Asians
are losing their culture to live more Americanized.
