Japanese American: Information from Answers.com (5118 words) |
 | Japanese Americans are Americans of Japanese descent who trace their ancestry to Japan or Okinawa and are residents and/or citizens of the United States. |
 | The largest Japanese American communities are in California with roughly 395,000, Hawaii with roughly 297,000, Washington with 56,000, and New York with 45,000, according to the 2000 Census. |
 | Japanese Americans also have the oldest demographic structure of any non-white ethnic group in the U.S.; in addition, in the younger generations, due to intermarriage with whites and other Asians, part-Japanese are more common than full Japanese, and it appears as if this physical assimilation will continue at a rapid rate. |
