But then they have to fill in the "Pacific Islander" bubble on standardized tests.
 QUOTE Inhabitants of the Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, Philippine, and Indonesian islands, although technically bordering the Pacific Ocean, are not considered Pacific Islanders because such islands are not located in any of the three regions of Oceania, and are therefore classified as "Asians" on the U.S. Census. However, a growing number of Filipino-Americans have denied the classification of being "Asian", instead claiming to be "Pacific Islanders", which has provoked dismay among some Pacific Islanders who actually belong to the Oceanic cultures comprising the commonly accepted definition of the term. It should be noted however that both groups are closely related ethnically and can be grouped together under one umbrella term, the Austronesians. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Islander Hmm. Yeah, this is confusing me. |
