Asian Pacific American Heritage Month
May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month
Asians are projected to be the fastest-growing major population category over the next half-century, outpacing blacks, whites and Hispanics.
Recent Census Bureau projections show the Asian population could grow by a third, to 14 million, by 2010 and more than triple to 33 million in 2050.
Some of the countries that constitute Asian Pacific America are: India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, China, Mongolia, Korea, Japan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Taiwan, Malaysia, Philippines, Laos, Cambodia, etc.
To honor the achievements of Asian/Pacific Americans, the U.S. Congress designated the month of May as "Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month."
