christine: Why are asian americans so overlooked in the data? Yet? I think part of it down to statistics. Most surveys aim for a sample size of around a thousand respondents. But then if you think about the asian American population, that's five point nine%. So such a survey with like a thousand respondents would only have 59 asianamerican respondents. And that is way to small a sample size which to make any sort of significant or substantial inferences.
