Then and Now

 

The API Census 2010 listed all the statistics and information of Asian Americans and outlined their successes and achievements in different categories, such as education and businesses. After reading the census, it makes me realize just how far Asian Americans have come in terms of adjusting to life in the United States, especially since Asian Americans and other People of Color have gone through and endured many struggles while trying to make a living in the United States. There have been policies and exclusion laws aimed at excluding Asian Americans, but despite these obstacles, the census shows that Asian Americans have strived to overcome those obstacles, demonstrating their determination and success to conquer all.

 

Question: Has the numbers decreased or increased within the following years and if they have, why?
