| 4 | Media about Asian-American people, these works can explore racial identity and culture, though not necessarily a requirement. Asian-American, as defined by the [[https://www.census.gov/topics/population/race/about.html United States Census Bureau]], refers to American people of South Asian, Southeast Asian, and East Asian descent. We also ask to list Asian-Americans in central roles (as in the story centers around them in some part); a good rule of thumb is to consider is that whether or not the work is about an Asian-American person or Asian-American people as opposed to playing a part in an ensemble. |
