Relative Proportions of Five Classes Among Asian Americans

Note: Proportions are adjusted by sample weights.

Distribution of National Origins

Source: Authors’ tabulation based on National Asian American Survey data (Ramakrishnan et al. 2017).

Note: Distribution of national origins within five classes of Asian Americans (panel A) and distribution of class membership by national origins (panel B). Groups are stacked according to the order of the legend to facilitate reading. The optimal way to view this figure is in color.

Differences Across Five Classes, Subjective Experience of Race

Source: Authors’ tabulation based on National Asian American Survey data (Ramakrishnan et al. 2017).

Note: Color-coded bars show the average proportions within each group that strongly identify as Asian American (upper-left panel), report having received unfair treatment in the past (upper-right panel), report strong perceptions of racially linked fate (lower-left panel), and report having experienced stereotyping as “model minority” (lower-right panel). The brackets over each bar indicate 95 percent confidence intervals around the average value.
