Asian population in US

ONLY 4.4%?!!! (2006)
That tiny? D: Yikes....I guess being stuck in the Bay Area and only traveling to LA, NY, and Hawaii...I thought there were plenty of Asians all over America.

Now I see the whole "Asian minority" part...lol (even tho I took Asian American studies few years ago :P)

(This came up when my sister questioned why there were mostly Caucasians in the gymnastics representing America...)

The thing is Asians are concentrated in certain areas. Rather than widespread all over the US. In the bay area, I never saw Asians as minority because there a lot of Asians here. So I never got the minority part. But elsewhere, it differs esp in the midwest.

My supervisor was like the only Korean in Kentucky and had a huge culture shock when he moved to Cali XD
