Asian Hispanic and Latino Americans is a term for Hispanic and Latino Americans having Asian ancestry and for those Hispanics who consider themselves or were officially classified by the United States Census Bureau, Office of Management and Budget, and other U.S. government agencies as Asian Americans.
Hispanicity, which is independent of race, is the only ethnic category, as opposed to racial category, which is officially unified by the U.S. Census Bureau. The distinction made by government agencies for those within the population of any official race category, including "Asian American", is between those who report Hispanic or Latino ethnic backgrounds and all others who do not. In the case of Asian Americans, these two groups are respectively termed Asian Hispanics and non-Hispanic Asian Americans, the former being those who say Asian ancestry from Spanish-speaking Latin America, and the latter consisting of an ethnically diverse collection of all others who are classified as Asian Americans that do not report Hispanic ethnic backgrounds.
Filipino Americans, often have Spanish surnames from the Alphabetical Catalog of Surnames, due to an 1849 decree.[3] While some Filipino Americans consider themselves Hispanic,[4] the majority do not.[5]

While 89 percent of single-heritage Filipinos marked Asian in the OMB-minimum categorization, the remaining 11 percent marked primarily NHOPI. Filipinos have also been known to categorize themselves as Spanish, (Mays et al., 2003), Pacific Islander, Asian American, or, if multiracial, White (Yu and Liu, 1992).
