Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) are one of the fastest-growing populations in the United States. Between 2000 and 2010, the Asian American population grew faster than any other racial group, at a rate of 46%. They are also an important and growing constituency, as 600,000 new Asian American voters entered the electorate in 2008 and a similar number is expected to do so in 2012.
