	Pacific Islander - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Inhabitants of the Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, Philippine, and Indonesian islands, although technically located in the Pacific Ocean, are not considered Pacific Islanders and are classified as "Asians" on the U.S. Census.
		A Pacific Islander or Pacific Person (plural: Pacific People) is a term used in several places, such as New Zealand and the United States, to describe people of a certain heritage.
		In the United States, "Pacific Islander" refers to people from the same locations living in the U.S. except for Native Hawaiians and people who trace to non-Pacific Island origins (e.g., descendants of Chinese or European colonists).

		The Asian/Pacific American group in the United States is relatively large, with a population of close to 12 million or approximately 4 percent of the overall population.
		Among the topics students should review are: population totals, groups mostly represented in the United States, education levels, levels of income, health challenges, etc. (It might be helpful to provide a list of census categories; students may also conduct research by category.)
		Ask students to examine the most critical issues/problems Asian/Pacific Americans face and, assuming the roles of policy professionals, write a report to President Bush outlining the major problems and potential programs that would rectify them.

	ACS: Subject Definitions - Race
		The 1990 category, ��Asian and Pacific Islander,�� was separated into two categories, ��Asian�� and ��Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander�� for Census 2000.
		Other Pacific Islander -- This category includes people who provide a write-in response of a Pacific Islander group such as Carolinian; Chuukese (Trukese); Fijian; Kosraean; Melanesian; Micronesian; Northern Mariana Islander; Palauan; Papua New Guinean; Pohnpeian; Polynesian; Solomon Islander; Tahitian; Tokelauan; Tongan; Yapese; or Other Pacific Islander, specified and Other Pacific Islander, not specified.
		The two residual categories, "Other Asian" and "Other Pacific Islander," replaced the 1990 single category "Other API." The 1990 categories "American Indian," "Eskimo," and "Aleut" were combined into "American Indian and Alaska Native." American Indians and Alaska Natives can report one or more tribes.
