NOV. 9, 2015 \u2014 The Census Bureau has no current plans to classify Filipinos<\/a> outside of the Asian race category. Filipinos are classified as Asian on Census Bureau forms based on the Office of Management and Budget\u2019s<\/a> definition, which specifically states that people whose origins are from the Philippine Islands<\/a> are part of the category Asian.<\/p>\n

According to OMB, Asian refers to a person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East<\/a>, Southeast Asia<\/a>, or the Indian subcontinent<\/a>, including, for example, Cambodia<\/a>, China<\/a>, India<\/a>, Japan<\/a>, Korea<\/a>, Malaysia<\/a>, Pakistan<\/a>, the Philippine Islands, Thailand<\/a> and Vietnam<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At this time, the Census Bureau is conducting the 2015 National Content Test<\/a> and is testing the design of the race question for the 2020 Census. This test will frame the recommendations for the 2020 Census race question, which has Filipino as an example under the Asian category.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
