Pacific Islanders have fallen behind and current admissions patterns will perpetuate this problem,
according to an analysis conducted by the UCLA Asian American Studies Center, the UC Asian
American and Pacific Islander Policy Initiative, and the Asian Pacific American Legal Center.
The analysis uses data released November 14, 2006 from the 2005 American Community Survey, iterated by race, Hispanic origin, ancestry and age released today by the U.S. Census
Bureau, along with previously released data.
Asian Americans Called the New 'Sleeping Giant' in California Politics
In the 1980s and 1990s, Hispanics were considered the "sleeping giant" in California politics because of their growing numbers. Now Asian Americans are at a point where Hispanics were about two decades ago, according to an analysis conducted by the UCLA Asian American Studies Center and the UC Asian American and Pacific Islander Policy Initiative.
The analysis uses data from the 2005 American Community Survey recently released by the U.S. Census Bureau, along with previously released data. |
