2000年的人口普查允许受访者选择标记一个或多个种族类别，这是美国第一次承认所有美国人口的多种族性质，特别是亚裔美国人和夏威夷原住民/太平洋岛民。如果说亚裔美国人和夏威夷原住民/太平洋岛民在医疗保健和移民等问题的政策辩论中基本上是“隐形的”，那主要是因为缺乏关于这一异质群体的分类数据，导致数据匮乏。此外，除了过度抽样程序，应该有更多的区域/地方资金，在亚洲美国人和夏威夷土著/太平洋岛民人口众多的地区进行研究。
The 2000 census, with its option for respondents to mark 1 or more race categories, is the first US census to recognize the multiethnic nature of all US populations but especially Asian Americans and Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders. If Asian Americans and Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders have for the most part been "invisible" in policy debates regarding such matters as health care and immigration, it has been largely because of a paucity of data stemming from the lack of disaggregated data on this heterogeneous group of peoples.Studies at all levels should adhere to these disaggregated classifications. Also, in addition to oversampling procedures, there should be greater regional/local funding for studies in regions where Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander populations are substantial.
