An index of Asian-American and Pacific Islander American creators and/or performers.
Asian-American, as defined by the United States Census, refers American people of South, Southeast and East Asian descent. Pacific Islander American, as defined by the US Census, refers to American people of Native Hawaiian and Oceanian descent. The two groups were placed in the same population category until the year 2000 when the US Census split them into Asian-American and Pacific Islander, but the two groups continue to have a sociopolitical connection due to legacy in American culture.
