Asians are the fastest growing race group in the United States, reflecting a surge in immigration from the entire region over a decade, the US Census Bureau said Tuesday. (http://ca.news.yahoo.com/asians-fastest-growing-race-united-states-census-finds-195956005.html - broken link)
I'm cool with that. Most Asians here come here LEGALLY and follow laws, and don't bleed the welfare/food stamp system dry.
Personally, I think the immigration system is broken, it should reflect the population in the US... if one race is getting a larger percentage compared to other races, less immigration from those countries and more immigration from other countries that compose a smaller population in the US... that's just being fair...

Looks like you fell for the Model Minority Myth. Most Asians? You know what Most Asians do? There are millions of poor Asians here on welfare. Obviously you've never been to California.
I'm sick of the government keeping statistics based on nothing of value.
According to the Constitution, Census is supposed to be headcount, yet we are asked "race" and tons of other info. And you are correct, scientifically "race" doesn't exist
While percentage wise asians may be getting larger, but by sheer numbers, the hispanic population still is the largest growing demographic hands down.
The hispanic population grew 43% in the past decade, just a hair under the 43.3% from your link.

Millions in NYC illegally too. Have been for generations.
Have to say, though, that I am no longer surprised at how little the OP knows about his or her purported place of residence.
