Part II - Answering the questions:
a. These statistics reveal that Asian diversity in America encompasses a significant population. With 13.1 million U.S. residents identifying as Asian or Asian in combination with other races, the Asian community is substantial and influential. Additionally, the presence of 943,000 U.S. residents who are native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander further highlights the diversity within the Asian American population. The projected increase of 33.4 million U.S. residents identifying as Asian alone in 2050 indicates a growing Asian presence in America.
b. Based on the statistics and the projected increase in the Asian population, the future of Asian diversity in America looks promising. The growing number of U.S. residents identifying as Asian alone suggests that there will be continued cultural, economic, and social impact from the Asian community. With a relatively high percentage of Asians and Pacific Islanders having a bachelor's degree or higher (47%), and a significant proportion being high school graduates (87%), there is potential for Asians to play a vital role in various sectors. It is likely that Asian diversity will continue to flourish, contributing to the multicultural fabric of America.
