Asian Hispanic and Latino Americans, also calledAsian Hispanics orAsian Latinos, areAmericans ofAsian ancestry and ancestry fromLatin America. It also refers to Asians from Latin America that speakSpanish orPortuguesenatively and immigrated to the United States. This includesHispanic and Latino Americans who identify themselves (or were officially classified by theUnited States Census Bureau,Office of Management and Budget and other U.S. government agencies) asAsian Americans.
Hispanidad, which is independent of race, is the only ethnic category, as opposed to racial category, which is officially unified by the US Census Bureau. The distinction made by government agencies for those within the population of any official race category, including "Asian American", is between those who report Hispanic and Latino ethnic backgrounds and all others who do not. In the case of Asian Americans, these two groups are respectively termedAsian Hispanic and Latinos and non-Hispanic or Latino Asian Americans, the former being those who say Asian ancestry from Spain orLatin America and the latter consisting of an ethnically diverse collection of all others who are classified as Asian Americans that do not report Spanish or Latin American ethnic backgrounds.
In the2000 US Census, 119,829 Hispanic and LatinoAmericans identified as being of Asian race alone.[3] In 2006, the Census Bureau'sAmerican Community Survey estimated them at 154,694,[4] while its Population Estimates, which are official, put them at 277,704.[5] In the2010 Census, there were 598,146 Asian Hispanic and Latino Americans, including those who aremultiracial in origin.[6]
Due to an 1849 decree,Filipino Americans often haveSpanish surnames from theAlphabetical Catalog of Surnames.[7][8]The Philippines was once the destination of immigration from Latin America to Asia back in the era of theManila-Acapulco Galleons. Nevertheless, the vast majority of Filipino Americans, who number over two million, are counted as non-Hispanic; Hispanic Asians are typically limited to immigrants of Asian descent from Latin America, such as for exampleChinese Cubans orJapanese Peruvians, and their children, as well as mixed-race individuals with one Hispanic and one Asian parent.
