Population

The Asian-Pacific-American population has grown significantly since immigration laws were changed in 1965 (thanks to Lyndon B. Johnson and others!). Now, the largest groups of Asian-Pacific-Americans come from China, the Philippines, India, Japan, Vietnam, Korea and Hawaii.

Hate Crimes

We do not have official data for 2020 or 2021 yet, but official (and incomplete) data from 1996 through 2019 indicates that hate crimes against Asians are uncommon, especially compared to other groups.

Immigration Restrictions

In the early 20th century, immigration from Asia was restricted. See if you would have been allowed to immigrate to the United States a generation or two ago.
