Abstract: This chapter examines the rich racial/ethnic multiplicity of both Asians and Latinos in the United States. Analysis of the United States and Harris County (Houston, Texas) population trends of these groups over the last 30 years highlight Asians/Pacific Islanders/Native Hawaiians and Hispanic/Latinos as the two fastest growing population groups over the last three decades. As a demographic designation and descriptor, the terms Asian Americans and Latinos give little insight into the numerous subgroups accounted for within these groups. An exploration into these subgroups illuminates the need for disaggregated data to better understand the nation’s racial/ethnic composition and the diversity of students in American schools.
