Question 7 • CA-Ethnic Studies

How does the US Census Bureau define an Asian person?

Answer
A
as someone with origins in any part of the Asian continent
B
as a person exclusively from East Asian countries
C
as a person exclusively from South Asian countries
D
as an individual with roots in East Asia, South Asia, or Southeast Asia

Explanation

The U.S. Census Bureau defines Asian as a person having origins in the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent. This includes people with roots in East Asia, South Asia, or Southeast Asia, so choice D is the best match. The definition is not limited to East Asian or South Asian countries alone.
