Asian Hispanic and Latino Americans is a term for Hispanic and Latino Americans having Asian ancestry and for those Hispanics who consider themselves or were officially classified by the United States Census Bureau, Office of Management and Budget, and other U.S. government agencies as Asian Americans.

Hispanicity, which is independent of race, is the only ethnic category, as opposed to racial category, which is officially unified by the U.S. Census Bureau. The distinction made by government agencies for those within the population of any official race category, including "Asian American", is between those who report Hispanic or Latino ethnic backgrounds and all others who do not. In the case of Asian Americans, these two groups are respectively termed Asian Hispanics and non-Hispanic Asian Americans, the former being those who say Asian ancestry from Spanish-speaking Latin America, and the latter consisting of an ethnically diverse collection of all others who are classified as Asian Americans that do not report Hispanic ethnic backgrounds.

Filipino Americans, often have Spanish surnames from the Alphabetical Catalog of Surnames, due to an 1849 decree.^[3] While some Filipino Americans consider them Hispanic,^[4] the majority do not.^[5]

Population

In the 2000 US Census, 119,829 Hispanic or Latino Americans identified as being of Asian race alone.^[6]
In 2006 the Census Bureau's American Community Survey estimated them at 154,694,^[7] while its Population Estimates, which are official, put them at 277,704.^[8]
In the 2010 Census there were 598,146 Asian "Hispanic or Latinos", including those who are multiracial in origin.^[9]

Notes ¹ The U.S. Census Bureau definition of Asians refers to a person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent. ² The United States Government classified Kalmyks as Asian until 1951, when Kalmyk Americans were reclassified as White Americans. ³ The U.S. Census Bureau considers Afghanistan a South Asian country, but does not classify Afghan Americans as Asian, but as Middle Eastern American. ⁴ The U.S. Census Bureau considers Mongolians and Uzbeks as Central Asians, but a specific Central Asian American group similar to Middle Eastern American does not yet exist. ⁵ The U.S. Census Bureau reclassifies anyone identifying as "Tibetan American" as "Chinese American". ⁶ Bengali Americans may be classified as Bangladeshi or Indian. Punjabi Americans may be classified as Indian or Pakistani. Tamil Americans may be classified as Indian or Sri Lankan.
