Should there be a distinction between white Asians and colored Asians?
The more we mix the harder is to make this classifications.
Also, immigrants who come from far a way are usually better off. So may be they should not be considered a minority in the traditional sense.

There were plenty of Chinese and Vietnamese (+ Hmong and so on) who came over during the Vietnam and Chinese-Vietnam wars as refuges who, like most displaced peoples, had (and still have) many social and economic problems; e.g. gang violence that you normally wouldn't associate with upper class Asians.

According to [1], we took in 19,000 refugees from East Asia (I'm betting mostly southeast), 35,000 refugees from the Near East/South Asia, 2,000 from Europe and Central Asia (why they clump those together...weird).
