  Asian Latino - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Asian Latino, as used in the United States, is a rarely employed term that refers to the Asian immigrant communities, and their descendants, now residing in Latin America; as well as those that have moved on from Latin America to the United States, and identify as such.
Asian Latino might also be used for mixed-race people of Asian and Latin American (Latino) descent.
Today, the overwhealming majority of "Asian Latinos" are of Chinese or Japanese descent, with Korean and Vietnamese the most significant groups thereafter.

 Latino - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Latino, feminine Latina derives from Latin (the adjectives latinus, latina), originally referring to Latium, the area of Rome, by aitiology derived from a king of the name Latinus.
The word Latino is debated as to whether it is an appropriate label for the people living in the Americas outside of the United States and Canada.
The heavy promotion of the term Latino by European-descent Cubans in Miami onto the much larger Mexican population that is non-European, has fueled sharp critiques of the term as it is currently applied.

 Latino and Asian Children in White Homes -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Caucasian people cannot fully speak for Latino or Asian people any more than they can be fully aware of what it feels like to be Latino or Asian in a race-conscious society.
Thus, some service providers (agency personnel, attorneys, facilitators, etc.) feel that the adoptive parent is their client and that their primary responsibility is to meet the needs of these clients to find a child, rather than to be sure a home will be appropriate for the child, based in part on the child's racial background.
It may be harder for Asian and Latino children to make significant connections to their birth cultures because these cultures are closely associated with concrete traditions and the country of origin.

 Discrimination against Asian Americans   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
To understand their economic situation, it might help to realize that Asian Americans are especially impressed with the level of material affluence in the U.S. To put the picture in perspective, one day of earnings in the U.S. is the equivalent of a month's worth of earnings in an Asian country.
Asian Americans are also more likely to moonlight with extra jobs, and to place a high priority on putting money in the bank for investment and/or retirement.
The Asian tendency to glance askew when being interrogated could be construed as lying when it really isn't, and the common American gesture of curling the index finger to mean "come here" is an incredible insult implying the person receiving it is a domestic servant or slave.

 PRC - Research - Roland S. Moore, Ph.D. - "California AB13 Compliance and Ethnicity in Urban Bars"
This study is a logical extension of currently-funded TRDRP research which found in a random sample of 120 San Francisco bars that in contrast with most other kinds of stand-alone bars, nearly all bars serving primarily Irish or Asian clienteles were not complying with AB13, while those serving Latinos were highly compliant.
For example, rationales for complying with the law in some bars serving Latino patrons may provide useful mechanisms for leveraging compliance in bars serving Irish or Asian patrons.
Moreover, the enforcement component of the proposed study will focus on enforcement efforts in different Latino, Irish and Asian community bars in the two counties and ethnically-specific responses to enforcement efforts.
