I.
Rationale for the
Guide: The production of the Guide is dictated by the
need to simplify the diversity that characterizes the Asian
American and Pacific Island community in the United States
which constitutes 4% of the total US population of 284.8
million (vis-à-vis Whites at 70%, Hispanics 13%, and Blacks
12.6%), according to the Census Bureau data of July 2001.
They came mostly from East Asia, North Asia, Southeast Asia,
and South Asia.
It
is strengthened by the White House Initiative on Asian
Americans & Pacific Islanders
(AAPI), and confirmed by Executive Order 13216, signed
by President Bush, who committed his administration to
increasing opportunities and improving
the quality of life of Asian Americans &
Pacific Islanders in the areas where they are
underserved, e.g., small business & entrepreneurial
development, federal procurement process, information
accessibility, health care, and educational
opportunities for new immigrants.
