Asians in UC Davis

Reading Reflection #1 on “UC Davis Facts”

It was interesting to see that Asians make up a huge portion of the undergraduates. The proportion of undergraduate Asians (40%) even exceeds that of undergraduate whites (33%). Something also noteworthy about the undergraduate population was that the Chinese/Chinese-Americans contributed the most to the Asian group; the Chinese make up more than twice of any other Asian group that make up the Asian population in each of the three groups (the undergraduates, graduate academic and the professional, health science, and self-supp groups). This can also be seen through the fact that I see many more Chinese students than other Asian students on campus. It is fascinating to see how much of the UC Davis population consists of Asians.

Question: Why would the non-U.S. citizens group be counted as one category, as it may contain people of various ethnicities?
