Even though Kalmyk is of Mongolian orgin, they should not be counted as East Asia since Kalmykia is a republic of Russian Federation. Kalmyk only refers to these Mongolian from Kalmykia. 203.218.22.133 16:25, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. Also, Mongolians in Mongolia are not counted as Asian American in the U.S, either. Padishah5000 02:17, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Nationalities, ethnicities, both?
Should the template include only nationalities (i.e., groups linked to specific, sovereign nation-states), or also include ethnic groups such as Mien and Hmong, which do not have specific countries, and which may be associated with more than one country? --Ishu 18:57, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

- If they consider themselves as a separate identity, I think they should be included since a country-based definition might be biased against stateless ethnic groups. --23prootie 18:57, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Nepali Americans
They very much exist, Dark T. Why didn't you just Google it? Anyway, here's what I found: "Since the 1960s, thousands of Nepalis from the Himalayan kingdom have made central Ohio their home. The Nepali community has grown dramatically within the last decade, further adding to the multicultural nature of Columbus. Whether as civil servants, educators, small business owners, doctors or musicians, Nepali-Americans continue to actively participate in civic activities in Columbus."[1] I removed the Newah link b/c they're just one of Nepal's ethnic groups, the 6th largest, actually.
