No Asian mentioned. Do we exist????????

  Only 160 of the 8904 survey respondents are Asian or Pacific Islander. That's probably too small a sample to get valid data.

    4.8% of Americans are Asian Americans, but only 1.7% of their respondents are Asian Americans or Pacific Islanders? I wonder what went wrong with their surveying method.

      Their surveying method is perfectly fine. The study is based on a cohort of kids who were born between 1980 and 1984 (in USA); and in 1980 Asian Americans were only 1.6% of USA population (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_racial_and_ethnic_demographics_of_the_United_States http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_racial_and_ethnic_de...). It does disregard (relatively) recent immigrants in that regard, though; but if it's to be used as analysis of gov't policy/parenting/schooling/etc circumstances, then you'd want to look at people who grew up in USA policies and environment.
