Abstract
The present research is the first to examine how various Asian American groups identify with the nation. Past intergroup relations research on how U.S. minorities identify with the nation have included black, white, and Latinx participants while the inclusion of Asian Americans has often been homogenized without distinction (Sidanius et al.,1997; Molina et al.,2015). This project addresses the gap by highlighting the distinctions between the subgroups which compose the Asian American category (Lee, 2015). We perform secondary data analyses on the 2016 National Asian American Survey Pre-Election Survey to examine if national identification varies across Asian American subgroups. Results demonstrate significant differences on levels of national identification between Asian American subgroups whether analyses focus on between region group differences (e.g., South Asian v. Southeast Asian) or within region group differences (e.g., Japanese v. Chinese). Our findings suggest heterogeneity is the norm regarding the Asian American experience and questions of national identity. We explore the implications for national identity and the drawbacks to homogenizing the Asian American experience.
