That's been fascinating to watch from the inside of tech companies as well.
I've seen instances of US-born American Asians to not fall under the "People of Color" label when referred to by Latin-American or Black employees, thus being associated more with White Americans, and yet they themselves would self-label as "People of Color" in other conversations.
My impression is that, at least in coastal metropolitan cities, East and South Asians are informally part of the white "class". Economically those two groups are more accomplished than most white ethnicities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_the_United_States_by_household_income https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_the_U... , which I imagine makes other minorities less than thrilled about being affiliated with them, as they don't get to share the same levels of success.
